some current CD finds in the wild

This past Spring I went into my music store not thinking I was going to find any thing but I did. There are some cool songs on here. When I found this I was also hoping to find combat Rock but I didn't. This will have to do for now.

On that some Trip I found this! a 2 CD set! I had this on Vinyl back on the day and traded it in during my purge beforw moving 20 5 years ago! When I found it on CD at my music store I was so happy! ELO is one of those band you either love or hate. I love them. Jeff Lynne is a talented instrumentalist and a great producer!

Support your local record store and antique mall

A few years ago a music store by me called Clarizio music started selling physical media. Being a CD collector this but a smile on my face. The CDs are used but that fine by me.

sometimes you find a cds you've haven't seen in years!

once in a while Id find a couple of CDs and it will inspire yes a new mix!

I don't always shop for myself though. Once in a while I'll pick up a few 45s or tapes for someone else! I know a few folks who still enjoy 45s and Ill pick up about 8 and mail them to that person

being I feel my CD collection is pretty complete I've stopped shopping for myself. I also have a collection that was gifted to me that has a lots of CDs I already have so I need to trade them in or give them to friends! purging? yes I do need to purge.

The urge to pick up more for me is strong at times but I keep telling myself I have enough.

Between the antique store and clarizios my CD collection has grown. Amazon has helped to!

I hear People say there's not much in antique stores. Ohh you haven't been to Point pavilion have you? They have a tone of CDs and records.

Don't overlook your antique store! Some booths have decent prices. Sometimes I'll go in my antique store to look around and get fun content for you youtube channel and 8 out of 10 time I find a CD I want. the urge to get a cds is VERY powerful there!

If your record store is to crowded on Records store day go to you antique mall. it doesn't need to be new to be cool!

My friends backyard

I don't think this was a sunset shot but I loved how pink the clouds were!

sometimes it looks like the clouds are on fire!

this shot was taken on a buggy nite and I'm sure I got a few mosquito bites as a result but that's OK! this shot was worth it.

The summer 2025 mixtape

Here's a tape I made this summer. I think I sent this one to Kaitlin in the Netherlands! The mixtape exchange on Instagram is a site you should check out if this blog inspires you to do so!

Here is a book By Jehnie Burns about the history of the mixtape. I didn't know that the underground hip hop scene started as early as the mid 1970s. This book will inspire and educate!

making mixtapes again

for a while now I've been following a page on instagram called the mixtape exchange. There are still folks out there making mixtapes. Yes cassettes!

This past spring I bought a boombox with a CD and Cassette deck in it. I had one but one of our cleaning ladies borrowed it and blew the speakers out.

The new one works fine and I haven't lost my touch. Well I was a little rusty at first but not for long! Being I make CDs I promised myself the tape would be for other people.

I made a few new tape making friends over the summer. In fact I just made a tape for Ian in California!

Heres one of the first mix tapes i made in 20 years! I underline or highlight the name of the band or artist ! I also write in the date the tape was created

posting mixes again soon

For a while I've been following a group on Instagram called the mixtape exchange! Currently they have several hundred members!

In 2003 My stereo that had a dual tape deck broke. In late fall of 2003 I got a computer and learned how to make CD mixes. My old stereo sits in the cabinet and the only thing that works on it is the radio.

This spring after being so inspired by the mixtape Exchange I went on amazon and bought a boom box with a cd player and tape deck.

I was a little rusty but regained my mix taping skills! I promised myself NOT to make tapes for myself. Just CD mixes.

This summer I made a few new friends in the group. The admix took the summer off from assigning mix tape but put a post up inviting folks to seek out folks who wanted to summer mix swap. I sent a few out ,including one to a woman in the Netherlands!

I'm also in a CD mix group based out of the UK!

I believe folks are falling in love with physical media again. The power to listen to what you like instead of AI or spotify choose for you is gaining traction.

Getting a 6x9 envelope in the mail is becoming a thing again.

My friend Bob in NY recently said "I just up and down with excitement when I see a package from you in the mail Trish cause I know I'm gonna dig it.

Wow did that warm my heart!

So I'll be posting mixtapes and cd mixes here again soon!
