Taking a short break - but I'll be back

I'm going to be taking a short break from this blog while we move house to another city.  As you can imagine, there's a lot to be done and so I've got to spend a bit more time doing things like packing and organizing our move.

Back in a few weeks......

Mind The Gap - a mix of rock, pop, alt-rock, synth pop and melodic rock

Here's a blended mix from multiple genres for your listening pleasure.   There's a reasonable spread of different music from tracks 1 through 12 and so there are definitely multiple ways this mix could be sequenced but in the immortal words of Frank Sinatra - "I did it my way". Have a great weekend.


Tracklist:

01 - Just Let Go - From The Ash
02 - Dawn - Echo Black
03 - Fall Down - Toad The Wet Sprocket
04 - When You Run Away - Guild Of Ages
05 - Holding On To You - Garrett Kato
06 - Mind The Gap - The Soundtrack Of Our Lives
07 - Napalm Girls - Creeper
08 - All Of You - Cold Chisel
09 - Ghosts - Big Wreck
10 - New Sensations - Sunsleep

Ghost Town - mix of rock, blues-rock, country rock with a little bit of New Zealand rock thrown in for good measure

It's Good Friday afternoon on a dreary autumn day and I'm having a few beers and listening to my music.  I've just finished playing my Ghost Town mix and thought I'd take a few minutes between beers to share it with ya.....

This is what I call a bitza mix - bits of everything.  Well, not really everything but I've taken tracks from genres such as country rock, blues-rock, rock and probably some borderline pop.  Every now and then I also like to showcase some music from my homeland - New Zealand.  In this mix I've included some tracks from Graham Brazier (RIP), who was the front man for Kiwi favourites Hello Sailor, the legend Mark Williams who now fronts Dragon, a dark number from the great music-man himself Greg Johnson and an acoustic version of their song 'Bullet For Your Gun' from 2000's rock band Black River Drive.


Tracklist:

01 - Turning Away - Dougie MacLean
02 - Ghost Town - Bo Bruce
03 - Closing Time - Semisonic
04 - Gravity - Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band
05 - Back To Zero - Third Eye Blind
06 - Autumn - Graham Brazier
07 - Around The Sun - 8mm Overload
08 - Feel For The Night - Mark Williams
09 - Other Side Of You - American Bang
10 - Winter Song - Greg Johnson
11 - Bullet For You Gun - Black River Drive
12 - Everything Is Going Great - Tiny Stills
