GBM Volume Twenty Eight

Curt — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 08:08:20 +0000

I hope everyone’s been enjoying the holidays. Here’s a new mix just in time to ring in the New Year. Hate to brag, but SoCal’s been in true form this week with gorgeous mid-70s days. Winter always reminds me why Southern California is awesome.

GBM Volume Twenty Seven

Curt — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:09:53 +0000

Oh jeez! I can’t believe its already been over a month since the last mix. It feels like this year is accelerating to a close and this little blog has been pretty neglected. Sorry. Hopefully the awesomeness of volume 27 will make up for it. Peep the track list after the jump:

GBM Seasonal Edition: Spooktastic Mix

Curt — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 06:37:45 +0000

Hey there peeps. Hope you had a great Halloween weekend. We’ve been super lame this year with no costume parties. There’s been a lot of extracurricular family drama going on during the past month so we haven’t really had time. Also partly why it’s been so quite around here. However, I threw together this hour long Hallow’s Eve inspired mix for all y’all to enjoy while you recover from or prep for the drinking marathon that is Halloween. No track list this time. It helps build suspense. Muhahaha!

GBM Volume Twenty Six

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you’re doing something fun this weekend. We’re having a little wine and cheese soirée at the Bear Cave this evening. This mix is a real corker. It’s got a lot of superb new releases, plus a little set of back catalogue indie goodies. Track list after the jump:

GBM Volume Twenty Five

Curt — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 05:21:45 +0000

Howdy! I hope your week’s off to a good start. If not, maybe this mix will help. I feel like this is an extra strong one. Sorry it’s been a little quiet round here. We’ve been building out a side project that isn’t ready to go public yet and the Mrs. has been under the weather. Peep the track list after the jump:

GBM Volume Twenty Four

Curt — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 05:54:15 +0000

So yeah. We’ve been negligent bloggers. Been busy and when not busy, lazy. But I’ve got a fresh new mix to kick off the holiday weekend. Ugh, summer is winding down. So many plans, so little accomplished. Oh well. I do love the fall. Football is back and the weather’s always is nice in LA this time of year. Grab the mix after the jump:

GBM Volume Twenty Three

Curt — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 06:41:25 +0000

Man-o-man. I can’t believe its been over a month since the last mix. Where is this summer going? Where is this year going? Well this one is a banger. An extended 90+ minute mix for all y’all. As usual, this eclectic mix is pretty much fueled by things I’ve heard or listened to since the last mix. Some of them are just songs I heard once, others are on repeat. Either way they make for a swell hodgepodge. That’s pretty much what we do here at GBM, pull together things that we like and hope others think so too.

GBM Volume Twenty Two

Curt — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 07:02:09 +0000

Happy Friday! Sorry we’ve been a little M.I.A. this month. Beans can be pretty distracting and June gloom has put a damper on our adventures. Hopefully summer is in full swing where you are or maybe it’s full on winter for our readers in the Southern Hemisphere. Either way I hope this mix can add a little spring to your step this weekend! I’ve also got a mini Gil Scot-Herron shout out in the mix since this is the first mix since losing the musical legend. Tracklist and download link after the jump:

GBM Volume Twenty One

Curt — Sat, 07 May 2011 21:24:47 +0000

I hope you all are having a great weekend. The beautiful warm weather we’ve been having in LA has become to give way to May Gray, which is typically followed by June Gloom. Right when you start planning for beach filled weekends, the chilly California current off the coast puts an end to those plans. Not until that ocean current warms up, usually mid July, will we have consistent beach weather. Meh, but it’s not going to keep us from sippin’ on Margaritas by the beach in the meantime! Anyway, here’s a new mix for you to chew on. Typically, my mixes consist of nearly all new musical acquisitions, but this time it’s more a 50-50 mix of new and old. Hope you like it!

GBM Volume Twenty

Curt — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 06:35:30 +0000

Happy Friday! This is truly a Friday like no other. I’ve got a fresh mix to kick off the Easter weekend. Do you have any fun Easter plans or traditions? We do. My mom still hides Easter baskets for Jess, my sis, and me. Mind you, we’re all grown ass adults, but mom’s pretty maniacal in her basket camouflage. It still usually takes 20 minutes or so to find the basket hidden in the house I grew up in. STILL! You’d think after all these years it be easy. NOPE. She’s a sneaky mama and takes great pride in prodding her children to near meltdown as we, college educated adults, struggle to find a wicker basket filled with sugar and decades old plastic grass. Oh, the mind games she plays. So that’s what I have to look forward to this weekend. Plus we’re hitting up the SaMo flea market + brunch with friends Sunday morning before heading off to our usual Sunday service in the evening in Manhattan Beach.
