Yay! Early this morning on my walk, I was listening to your summer mix from last year and later today finding a new one for this year is awesome. Thank you, Michael.

Michael, just moseyed over here while checking out some fellow Kinfolk contributors, and am in the middle of downloading your *excellent* playlist. Thanks much for introducing some new music into my life. Very much inspired by your photos and thoughts here, and can’t wait to see your work in the magazine. Cheers! lily
Micheal, this is great. The Battles track especially. Seeing them tomorrow!
Hugs from hot, hot Ljubljana!
Just found your mixes through Kinfolk – are you me?! I have made seasonal mixes for years, and although the songs and artists are different, the moods and timbres here are almost exactly the same as mine. I’m loving them – just listened through 2011 now, and moving on to 2010 soon. Hope you keep making them.
great, send me to your playlists! would love to see/hear…
I’ve never put them online – I’ve only ever made CD copies and mailed them to friends, but I’ll see about doing that and send you a link.
