Storm on the Water

this music mix is just a mish mash of new music i like – it ranges from upbeat to more downtempo, and includes a rad cover of the Twin Peaks theme song by Field Mouse that i think you’ll enjoy.

usually i pick a song title as the mix name and then put together cover artwork based on that, but this time the process was the other way round. i discovered this 1947 painting called A Storm Is On The Water Now by folk artist Grandma Moses which i really like… and that’s the story behind that.

    I haven’t listened to the playlist yet as I’m still mesmerized researching on Grandma Moses. I really, really like her work. Thanks for sharing. Vx

    Feels Like We Only Go Backwards has been on repeat ever since I downloaded this mix. Thank you so much for being a great inspiration and an essential part of my daily dose of the Internet.

    Oh woah! I’m friends with the dudes in Sheep Man, I’m sure they’d love to know you included one of their songs in your playlist :)

    One of my favourite moments : when I see your new post is a music compilation !

    Wonderful music mix – I listed to it on the trip to and from the office today and as I walked down the street to buy veggies. It made me shake my booty and bob my head (and, in general, look a little quacky in public).

    Nooooo! I can’t download it! Message comes up saying ‘Download not available
    File owner’s public traffic exhausted.’ Nearly crying right now.

    yay, thank you! I second the comment a couple before me, I love the album art and also love your music mixes, they’re the main way I discover new artists- and they’re all so good!

    Seriously? your play lists are always the best. I have no idea where you come up with these bands, but they’re all amazing!

  22. natalie Tuesday 11 December, 2012 at 7:16 am #

    The link isn’t working for me either. Owner’s public traffic exhausted. When I use alternate link and then click “slow speed” it sends me to dirty ads :(

  23. Fenja Tuesday 11 December, 2012 at 7:17 pm #

    This is one of the best yet:)
    Seriously I have downloaded all of your playlists, you have an IMPECCABLE taste in music.
    Please know how appreciated you are and keep em coming:)
    I always get extremely excited when you post a new one.
    Much love and positivity <3
    Also, your album artwork is always FANTASTIC!

    The download link does not work :(

  25. Aasia Saturday 23 February, 2013 at 12:26 pm #

    Download link is not working. I love all your mixes. LOVE.
    What to do?

  26. Priscila Friday 29 March, 2013 at 7:18 pm #

    Is there any other place where I could get this playlist? The first link doesn’t work, and the alternate link is sort of a dead end with a ton of pop ups along.

    I seriously love all these playlists. you have AMAZING taste in music! :D
