  • FROM THE BLOG: 6 Things Making a Good Mixtape Can Teach You • http://bit.ly/skelkey82 • #bewhatyoumake • A good mixtape…anyone can make a crappy one • It was a simpler time. A time where creating a mixtape for someone you liked involved math, good musical taste, AND knowledge of the best brand of cassette that the corner Walgreen’s had. Then, when your unique masterpiece was all done, you had to hand it to them in some kind of face-to-face situation. • Yep. A simpler ti…..wait. No. f**k that. • That shit was crazy difficult. All of that. • NOW is a simpler time. You choose a few songs (unless you go the super lazy route and have Pandora or Spotify do it for you), then you click on a share link and bingo-bango — the desired person has it. • That’s all it takes. For real. As a matter of fact, why haven’t YOU made ME a mixtape yet? Yes…you. • I bought the good cassettes • Sony or the Maxell 90 ones. The more minutes the better. Yeah, I had a few go-to songs for all of them, but you had to because you didn’t want too much space at the end of each side. Van Halen’s 316 was a nice little ditty that was super short. I also like Neil Peart’s The Rhythm Method drum solo. • Other than that, you had to really think about it. It took a while to make and people understood that when someone gave one to you, they have probably been crushing on you pretty hard for a few months now. It was a big deal. • [Read more.

  • When you’re a badass like @dajimmyz, there’s no such thing as a “side project.” It’s all just living your best life. Aside from his work with @soundslikedisco, here’s his restored 70s Slingerland beauty he thumps with @order_of_the_diamond_official. Keep an eye and ear out for forthcoming awesomeness. #bewhatyoumake

  • FROM THE BLOG: That Time My Dad and I Went to a Bullfight in Mexico • http://bit.ly/skelkey81 • #bewhatyoumake • It was just about the most awful thing ever • I think I was about 12 or 13 years old and my family took a trip to Cancun, Mexico. I remember looking for authentic Mexican food and how unexpectedly difficult it was to find. Then, we found a place and yeah…not great. Apparently this place thought that they could just be gross and dirty and then just call themselves “authentic.” • No…which is Spanish for, “No.” • I don’t remember much of the beach, really, but do remember going into the market and my mom being amazing with the whole deal-making thing. Total savage. She loved haggling over prices with merchants and I think we all earned a whole new respect for Mom on that trip. • We all got Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts, because that’s what you did back then. And it was a great time. • Then my Dad had an idea • I think he wanted to ratchet up the international/cultural experience and do something in Mexico that we couldn’t do back home. After what I assume was a long and hard session of thinking, he came up with the perfect plan. • Let’s go to a frickin’ bullfight. • My mom and sister were out the door before he even finished the sentence saying we should go. They were out. I was undecided, which at that point meant I was going. • Alright. Screw it. Let’s go to a goddamn Mexican bullfight. I’m a sport. • [Read more. Link in bio.] >>>

  • Having musicians in your life is the sign of a life well-led. But shopping for them suuuucks. I get it. Hook them up with a super soft T-shirt and some eco-friendly gear. Bam. It’s that easy. #bewhatyoumake
