"Goddamn right, it's a beautiful day..."


A mix from last year that I started playing again when we had some good weather. Songs about kissing, drunken days, dancing like a loon, getting turned on and casual sex, drug references, creative swearing, blasphemy, there are jangly guitars and bubbly synths, even a recorder solo and Japanese girls singing ‘ooga-wooga-wooga-ooga’– come on kids, what more do you want to drive to on a summers eve?

Per various requests - how to upload music for others to share.

1. Gather your mix into a desktop folder. I rename the files with a numeric prefix (01,02 etc)so when they are downloaded they retain the order I wanted them to be in.

2. Zip the files together. I use winrar which can be obtained free from here
http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10007677.html
Once you have it:
a. Open winrar (close the box asking if you want to buy it)
b. Use the browser arrow (top left) to find the folder with your mix, and highlight the tracks you want to zip.
c. Click 'add'
d. Name folder (....mix, choose where to save it to (desktop))and click 'OK'
e. You will now have a zipped folder saved on your desktop.

3. Have a beer/cigarette/spliff/coffee because you are nearly there - easy so far eh?

4. Upload the file - go to http://rapidshare.com/
browse for the zipped mix and when you find it click 'upload'

5. Sit back and repeat '3' - it will take about 1hr to upload.

6. On completion copy the download and delete links, add your email address to the sender box and any recipients in the 'to' box.

The download link is now ready to be picked up by anyone/anywhere who you care to share it with.

Now repeat 3 again but this time with a self satisfied smile knowing that you have just shared the joys of your creativity with others.
