yo yo yo rafter here

this is a mix i made to play at a dive bar in atlanta georgia

i made it in the car while we drove

but dont let that discourage.

i think there’s some

blondie (giorgio moroder mix)

black moth super rainbow

cornelius

joe gibbs i think?

hercules + love affair

hunters & collectors

new fast automatic daffodils

+ something else..

overall it’s a 10 out of 10 mix, pretty chill and enjoyable and eclectic.  that’s why i’ve titled it this genius name -> “eclectic mix”

Elvis was a hero to most

Posted in philosophizing with tags , , , , on April 28, 2010 by rafterroberts

so!  the almighty pitchfork took a whopping dump on my new album.  pretty marvelous…. it turtled me for a couple days, cause of that site’s undeniable role as gatekeeper/tastemaker.  i was hoping for them of course to love it and send me hurtling towards ginormous european festivals and etc.  ha!  that’ll teach you, puny rafter!

anyhow, i feel completely confident still about the quality of Animal Feelings, 100%, though i feel sad a bit that its direct and heartfelt nature and rebel spirit are not obvious to some notable peeps.  that said – - – - > there has been so much love and appreciation for the album i thought i’d share some of my favorite reviews with ya!  my whole heart and mind and being are in the art i make, and when people get that and dig it, it’s cool!  i’m doing this to share!  so thanks to everyone who’s written kind words about the album.

this way, that way

so often hitting the airport to bring my sweaty magic to you!  last week, texas and oregon.  this week, new york and washington dc.   just back at the nyc studio after our 1st show, and it was fun!  but enough about that – i’m gonna let my taste buds do the talking now :  if you want good ramen noodles in nyc, i have to send you to ippudo!  yeah, the music was great, the company fantastic, and etc!  but those ramen noodles… mmmm…. ahhhh……  they will fuel me to play tomorrow with My Gold Mask and Hussle Club at the Public Assembly Loft, and then friday in DC with the Hood Internet, and then at Glasslands with pals Frances and Necking on Saturday!  Thanks for the go-power, tasty noodles!
