Whenever I have to play music on my speakers for the office I’ll play one good thing and then everyone starts shouting at me. Then my mind goes blank and I’m like “… “Gorilla vs. Shark” mix?? Large-hearted boy??? Uhhhh….” So this page will be a collection of places on the internet where in a matter of a few clicks I/you can quickly find minimal-dj-talk high-rock low-skronk high-pop/low-avant all-fun mp3 mixes. If you have suggestions PLEASE MAKE THEM in the comments below. Thanks!!
- Off Chances (gay)
- Slumberland podcasts (occasionally talky, check out PEGCASTs, she is best)
- Archived WFMU shows (ffwd through dj banter, beware whale-song skronk interludes!! Hatch, Evan Davies, Cherry Blossom, Joe Belock are all safe bets)
- Mad Decent Radio (my office sometimes hates “synthesizers” and “techno”)
- Four for You, Glen Coco (by and for a friend network I’m not a member of. Occasional broken links, awesome times)
- Funky 16 Corners (counter-intuitive, possibly false observation: soul/funk in large doses deadens the senses)
- Dublab (often brilliant; sometimes outer space is boring, though)

My friend Kelan made a series of mixes themed on different medical drugs (he’s a pharmocologist) called Apothecary Anthems. He tried to make each one progress the way a brain changes from the moment a person takes the drug, until the drug leaves the body. I can get you the playlists, if you want, or just download them and listen for yrself:
