It has been a while since I cobbled together a poorly mixed, junky leveled mixtape. Here’s something for all those sharing some VD LOVE…
TUFTSMANiA - vd love 17h46 (right click, save as)
What is VD LOVE to you?
speaking of poorly mixed, junky mixtapes… Elena from GO! magazine in Lithuania messaged me:
Chris, today is really bad day, and not only becouse of loves day, its bad day becouse, i wanted to listen to bud no wiser, and than i founded that there is no bud wiser on my computer anymore, and even more than that, i couldnt download it from tuftsmania.com
whyyy?
Dear Elena, I recently purged all the tracks that I’ve blogged about prior to Janvier 2008. I will re-up any tracks that I might reference to in a new post. If anyone would like a specific mixtape, just contact me any way you know how.
and now, from the crypt… blast from the past…. click: bud no wiser. (my old shit makes my new shit look wayyy shittier!! WHY)

Neon Coyote is back with somewhat of a sequel to their original D.A.N.C.E.P.A.R.T.Y. mixtape. At this point, what isn’t there to say. I seriously can’t say much else other than, very well done guys. 131 samples in just under 21 minutes.
Classic NC style mixing, they are (and have been) establishing their own unique sound and I’d have it no other way.
LOOK OUT FOR THE “ILOVETHEPATRIOTS” DROP!!!! hahaha

no pictures. this is straight business.
Mix tapes have definitely taken on a new shape over the years.
Making your own mixes was never all that easy until the advent of the modern cassette tape. For years people would use these little magnetic tapes to create their own ‘personal’ mix tapes for themselves, for their friends. When the digital age dropped the compact disc bomb, the cassette tape wasn’t phased for people loved the ease of creating their own playlists.
….until the recordable cd became an affordable option. From then on, people began recording their playlists to this cheaper, fully digital, cold, anti-personal media.
….until the age of the internet, where assholes like tuftsmania began making mixtapes to distribute over the internet in the form of MP3 files, an even colder, and less personal medium.
I’m here to apologize and ask for forgiveness.
Starting in 2 days, Saturday December 8 at 12PM PST (lunchtime), I will open the email account I have created for this very special event.
When the clock strikes 12PM PST, the first 25 people who call the TUFTSMANIA HOTLINE (424) 354-0313, THEN emails giveaway@tuftsmania.com will receive a copy of my holiday of 07 mixtape “Hubbub of 2007″ on CD with limited artwork for EVERY copy! yay hooray. I know you’re excited.
It gets better. The first 5 (FIVE) callers will get a verrryyy limited run (1/5) of the mix tape. ON A 100% PLASTIC AND MAGNETS CASSETTE TAPE. it’s so old that you will have to borrow the stereo in your friend’s 92 ford fiesta to listen to it. You’ll still get the cd as well, but fuck the cd, you can get the real deal mix tape! I again will draw all the artwork with my slave hands for you to ogle at.
I know there are some international (outside of the USA) people that visit this site, and yeah, that’s right YOU can play too. I’ll ship this shit ALL OVER THE WORLD. who needs money anyway (me, but that’s besides the point).
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. at 12PM PST NOON Saturday December 8, call (424) 354-0313. leave your NAME and make sure I can understand it.
2. after leaving your name and message, email giveaway@tuftsmania.com with the same NAME you used in the message.
3. leave your mailing address in the email as well because most likely, if you called and emailed me, you won.
4. i will announce the winners the following Wednesday, so you have all weekend and then some to leave obscene messages. i’ll mail you your prizes as soon as they’re done being made.
game on!!
ps: this is free, and my gift to any and all of the weirdos that view this website. just don’t rip it and send it to the qerio guys. love you all.
