HEY, LADY!
About Me
This is the part of my profile where I don't try to spruce things up by using the "[ ]" symbols. I'm just talkin'. You're just reading. No listing, just gettin' to know me. You know.... readin'....
I just recently moved into Seattle from a suburb. I'm loving it. The past month or so I've familiarized myself more with Seattle history and also the local music scene. Also, I am totally digging living four blocks from Puget Sound and nothing gives me a calmer feeling than sitting on my porch, smoking a cigarette, and feeling the breeze coming in off the water.
I've always been drawn to music. My favorite possession when I was six was my silly little clock-radio that only picked up one station because when I was six we lived in the middle of nowhere, eastern Washington. And I loved that radio station. I knew every single word to every single song on that lame "Adult Contemporary" station and would proudly boast about the house my favorite Madonna song... "OOPS! I didn't know we couldn't talk about SEX!" One time I realized I said this directly in front of my mother, at which point I began to close the door when I had my radio on.
My music education went on from there to include a vast variety of musix. I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to almost anything, so send any musix my way. I do have some musicians I despise, but I don't want to let you know who they are cuz I don't want you to be afraid of limitations on your mixtape. Do whatcha want. It's your mix.

Recent Concerts
[October 13, 2009] [WHY?-THE VERA PROJECT, SEATTLE, WA] [Rating - OK. I wish I would have caught them a year ago while they were still promoting "Alopecia." It's a far superior album compared to their new "Eskimo Snow." Though I was pleased to sing along to a few Alopecia songs, and it's always good to hear a unique musical style, not to mention a pretty unique voice, live. Gotta love hearing someone bust some rhymes white-boy style over some piano and guitar. Good times were had by me, my best friend, and all of the scene kids that smelled like pomade and Lucky Strikes.]

Made this for my friend Mia! Oldies (50's-70's), stuff I listen to to put me in a good mood. Works every time. |
|
Sammich! |
Mix made for Gaetan! It's a sandwich because it starts off with a Madvillain song, and ends in a Madvillain song. Also, I thought these songs would be awesome to listen to while eatin' a good ol' PB&J. |

Hi Trista ... both my June and July mixers have let me down, so I am suffering serious IMP withdrawl! The only thing to save me is a side-trade. Interested? |
|
Laurin |
Hey so I finally read my comments. You wrote that you clicked the button too quickly and that you hadn't yet received my mixtape (from December or January.) Did ya ever get it? Assuming yes since Ryan didn't track me down. |

Cornelius |
Oh Trista, how I do apologize for being so late with the March mixes I have for you. I'm putting them in the post right now. To make up for my lameness I've sent you a March mix and a bonus mix disc about a little town in the high desert. Take care. Enjoy. |
|
Laura |
Side trade, perhaps? |
|
Ian |
I'll tell you what; give me a bit of time and I'll try to remember some of the songs that I ought to have included in that mix and send you the improved version. I don't actually come by this site too often, so do me a favour and email me at imathers@gmail.com and that way I'll remember to actually do this... |

Trista: Listening to your mix at work right now. And, despite myself, humming along to; "Smooth Criminal". And then I realized it's a Jacko song( even if its being covered by AAF).Closed my office door, lest anyone else hears it. I would get a lot of flak from one co-worker in particular if she heard that. |
|
David |
Hey, Hey. Just got the cd. Haven't listened to it yet. But that's quite the mix. Metallica and Duke Ellington. Skinny Puppy and Missy Elliot. Your "J" friends cover quite the spectrum. Thanks a lot. You should be getting yours shortly. |
|
David |
No worries. I'm sure it will be good. |

Everyone is very important. |

Trista: I read your musical education blog and it was very good. You're quite a good writer. Everyone needs a Mr. Boal. I wish I had one. If I had maybe I could play music now instead of just listening to it. This is also true of French teachers. If I'd had someone like Mr. Boal instead of Madame McVeety; I would have avoided the life-long resistance to learning French. Anyways, are you up for a side trade? |
