    Jim and I return from extended hiatus with a swift (for us) overview of our favorite music from 2012. In a triumphant return-to-form, we illuminate some little known music geekery and go off on tangents. Tracks featured: “The House That Heaven Built” by Japandroids “45” by Gaslight Anthem “I’m Gonna Try” by The Maldives “True … Continue reading "#107 – 2012 in Repose"

    It’s well into 2012, and I have been too lazy on this, but I’m finally ready to post my best of 2011 mix. Hoo-ray? Hoo-cares? Who knows? but it’s something I’ve been doing every year for the past several and I enjoy it. I hope you enjoy it too, and what the hell, free music, … Continue reading "#0106 – Jim’s favorite music of 2011"

    First of all, Happy New Year!!!! As is tradition since time in memoriam, the first mixes of a new year tend to be reflections on the best of what we heard in the previous year.  Our first mix of 2012 comes from Justine Hoyer, who gifted us with this excellent mix of her faves from … Continue reading "2011 Music In Review (by @jaehoyer)"

    I can't say with any certainly that Andrew Eldritch would approve of all the bands on this mix (probably not), but it's a mix of songs with drum machines that I work to when in front of a computer.

    Fall of 1993. I was beginning my second year at my third university, living at home, working for minimum wage at a used CD shop, driving my beat-to-hell 1984 black Ford Thunderbird. No girlfriend, my buddy Adam’s old driver’s license so I had a fake ID and I was living the high life. This is … Continue reading "#0103 – Run ’93"

    ,From Karen Burpee (@kburpee)… The year was 1997. Pop, as always, was in. Grunge/alt-rock was no longer alternative, and starting to give way to dance music, and Ska was just taking hold in Eastern Canada… I give you 96 83 minutes of 1997. Although I seriously considered creating an All-CanCon(*) playlist, but that would not … Continue reading "#0101 – IRON DJ: 1997 (by @kburpee)"

    From Justine Hoyer (@Jaehoyer)… I am new to this forum and not entirely sure how it works, but I’m going to give it a shot. Every year after SXSW I make mix for my friends focusing on newer music. The regular audience for this cd is not as musically informed as this group. The track … Continue reading "#0100 – The Spring Mix"

    It took almost 6 weeks to narrow down the music I listened to in high school to the music that came out between 1989 and 1990, and then to find a coherent path through the wide range of musical stylings I’ve been drawn to. Many great tunes were killed along the way: Mama Said Knock … Continue reading "#0099 – IRON DJ: Graduation Year – Class of 1990"

    It’s IRON DJ time again! Which means that a bunch of people are going to upload themed mixes and try to compete with me!

    2010 was a milestone year–among other things, personally, it was the year my 13 year old son grew to be taller than me, which is a reminder of mortality if anything is (I mean I have to crane my neck to yell at the boy now! crazy!)–and it was a great year for music too. … Continue reading "#0096 – with MMX technology!"

    It’s only been since, like, April since I did one of these things. I’m frankly amazed I remembered the password after all this time.

    A mostly 2010 wintery mix named in honor of the ancient Greek scholar from the 3rd century BC who correctly determined the circumference of the Earth using his brain, eyes, feet, and a few sticks. As Carl Sagan asked...why are there no monuments to people like this?

    This is my best of 2009 mix, containing samples from my 20 favorite albums of the last year.  I’m not a professional music critic and I don’t listen to every album ever released by any means, so I’m sure there are plenty of holes, and if you’d like to tell me an album I missed, … Continue reading "#0092 – 2009"
