A Very Indie Xmas 2011
My latest mixtape comes via Spotify and skewgee:
Every year I share a mixtape of holiday music a bit off the beaten path. This year’s mix (the 6th in the series) comes includes music from The Dandy Warhols, They Might Be Giants, Harry Nilsson, and She & Him.
At my friend’s holiday party, I helped set up a photobooth for friends to take their own holiday portrait. Then we edited it into a short video montage of photobooth photos. Happy Holidays and warm wishes for the new year!

“MLK died for sanitation workers, he died because he sided with poor babies in Vietnam….When he died, 75% of Americans were against him, 55% of Black people were against him because he was too loving. When you love poor people that much, when you love working people that much, you are the freest man in the world but you are a threat…” Cornell West, 2011
I understand he was reading Plato’s Apology in his cell.
