Drinkin Beers

There's something to be said for drinking beer with a group of friends.  The camaraderie and low key vibe allow conversations to flow and occasionally drift into goofy territory.  On one hand it's an opportunity to have a long, in depth conversation and on the other it is a vacation or an escape of sorts - a reminder not to take things too seriously.  What follows is some crisp rock, sweaty funk and the occasional "Oh what the hell is this? I gotta get up and dance!"  Ideal for pregames and tailgates.

1. Booker T. Jones - Rent Party
2. Stretch - Why Did You Do It?
3. Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra - Che Che Cole
4. Cyril Ferguson - Gonna Build a Nation
5. Al Green - I'm a Ram
6. The Barons - Making It Better
7. The Black Motion Picture Experience - 2001
8. Pearly Queen - Quit Jive'n

10. Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the Middle with You (Todd Terje edit)

Also how sweet are these vintage beer can photographs?

Heathered Pearls Mix

Heres a mix to thrown on the next time you put the Millennium Falcon on autopilot and smoke a jay with your co-pilot.  It's a daytime disco breakdown to help you space out and tune up. 
I've also found it to be great for late night biking.

Nothing Like the Sun Mix

I'm on vacation this week so I will leave the music selections up to those who are on duty.  I came across this deep disco mix from Headup/Alex Koplin that has some real head nodding potential.  Great for the east coast heat right now.  The Tornado Wallace Remix around 35 minutes makes me want to wear a white visor around town.  Hope your summers are going well.

Saturday Morning Mix

Sun-drenched.

This word comes to mind when listening to this fantastic new mix from Brooklyn duo, Worst Friends (aka Slowhands and Tom Croose).  They seem like friendly guys that know how to have fun.

Slow-disco, folk, hypnotic vocals.  You're in for a chill yet loosey goosey hour.  I can't talk about it too much or I will spoil some of the moments, but I recommend the remix of Vetiver at 11 minutes.

Check out ISO50 to skip around in the mix or head to Autobrennt to download it directly.
