KEEPYOURFACERADICAL MARCH 2013 MIX

This mix has been haunting me all month. It has been a lot of work scrapping together KYFR mix worthy songs. I had to throw the net wide, but hopefully you'll agree that I caught a narwhal or two.

SONG HIGHLIGHTS:

Bibio - A tout a l'heure

Hands down one of the best songs I have heard this year!!!!!!!! Its weird, basey, dancey and unbelievingly catchy.

Vampire Weekend - Step

This is quickly becoming my fav VW song. PERFECT SUMMER POP!

Peace - Float Forever

The way this song builds is ba-ba-ba-bonkers good!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Under The Earth

This song made me feel like I was spying on Medusa while she was doing some cave cleaning.

COVER ART:

I struggled coming up with an idea this month but in the end forced myself to do something that felt really unatural. I call it Nü90's. I feel like it is a big trend right now and I wanted to give it a try. I wanted to play with the idea of some kind of vortex making a face (stature) radical.I like the mix of patterns and gray vs. color. I did everything in Photoshop, even the type :( Plus, I used tons of bad filters and tools I would never use, ie. Twirl Effect. It took me back to the first time I used Photoshop and just wanted to Filter everything. It feels off to me but hopefully in a cool way. Maybe in the same way that Bill Cosby made wearing obnoxious sweaters cool.

ENjO! the mix gang!

KEEPYOURFACERADICAL 11/12 MIX (NOVEMBEARD EDITION)

 Really sorry the mix is late this month but November was super busy and I had a personal matter that came up the last week of November that required me to be out of town.

This mix art this month was inspired Movember/Novembeard. I found this photo a while ago an I think it might be the crazy character from the True Grit remake (who stole the movie for me). He has the most epic beard ever! I added some color and hand drawn texture on the wolf pelt to modernize it a bit and then some cave painting typography helps finish it off. 

The songs on the mix are all over the map this month. From Celestial Wave to Slo-Brains Trip Roc. ENjO!

DELINQUENT BLOGMAIL COVERS

 Just a few animal themed blogmail cover designs that didn't make the cut. I'm the first to admit that sometimes my ideas are less than worthy. I might be rounding up more of the losers in the next few weeks. Enjoi!
