Dream Weapons present: SOMETHING BAD IS BETTER THAN NOTHING C60

 
 
When it comes to pursuing our goals, finding a deeper sense of purpose, or mastering a skill, doing something and taking some action is always better than doing nothing.

That is until we set a goal that is too far out of reach or our ideals gets in the way. Then our pursuit of continued action is replaced by the realization of how far we have to go to get to where we want to be. It’s then that nothing instead of something seems justifiable.

-That’s when its time to just chill, break some eggs, make an omelette and listen to something good. Like this compilation of German rock and jazz funk, Quebecois prog, Finnish folk and soft rock, American jazz, soul, hard rock, space rock and private press pop, Brazilian boogie, Turkish psychedelic funk, British modal jazz and mod pop -Lemon Fogg

    1. Hi Alex - thanks! Glad you rediscovered us! Lemon Fogg makes his own art for his mixes and so do Sadhu Sadhu (who also made most of Prabha Devi's art) and I... plus I've made most of the art for our collaboration-mixes. Thinking up these little concepts while trying to make a package that sort of works - or makes sense somehow, is a huge part of what makes it so enjoyable.

    2. Very cool - I always thought the covers served really well as a kind of thesis statement for the mix

  3. Thanx Alex and welcome back! Chiming in from beyond the grave here. No promises, but maybe I’ll do another mix again sometime, artwork and all! :)
