Hey there readers. Long time no talk. I hope this new music is enough to tide you over until we get our shit together. The new year has brought new challenges but we hope to be back to normal soon. At least know that I will have these mixes for you still, with pretty art work and damn fine songs. Get it while it’s hot!

Sorry this one is so late, but half of SRO was on vacation. Thanks for being patient. Another month, another mix. I hope you all appreciate!

We are only two days in and already we have the monthly mix ready for your consumption. Not much new this month. Mostly some solid songs from bands you probably have already heard of. My favorite has to be the new Notwist. I was enamored with this band back in 2002 so it’s a pleasant surprise to find them still on top of their game. The new album The Devil, You + Me is so fantastic, I have been listening non-stop for the past week. If you enjoyed Neon Golden, this new album will not disappoint. Anyway, get on it and happy listening. We hope the Muxtape craze hasn’t ruined that special feeling you get from our mixes. They’ll be sued within the month anyway, so you’ll be back.

Mix 2: go now

This shit has arrived and I know you want it. Does it make up for our lack of video content lately? I don’t know, that is entirely up to you. Either way, we are still on holiday!

I know it’s not Monday, but so what — three days late. Don’t pretend like you care. So anyway, come and get it friends. One of the best podcast we have put together in a while. If the first four songs don’t reach out and put some joy in your ear, lighten your heart, and make your day, then you seriously should stop listening to music. So come correct and step up to the October mix — and so sorry it’s late. Life gets in the way sometimes. Blogs have to wait.
