In this episode, we pay tribute to my late father-in-law. On Steve’s Birthday, my wife and I listened to some of his iTunes library. (Yeah, he was pretty hip to the digital world… he had an iPhone before any of the rest of us). A love for the “oldies” music of his generation was one…
Uncle Eddy’s Mixtapes: More Christian Alternative Goodness
Welcome to Episode #7 of Uncle Eddy’s Mixtapes. Today we have another compilation of Christian Alternative Rock I made in the late 90s (here’s the first 90s Christian Alternative mixtape I posted). As you can see from the pics, this one was made on December 15, 1997. I suppose I could wait a few months…
RIP Chris Cornell: A Tribute to the Lost Forefathers of Grunge – A Special Edition Mixtape
I remember first hearing about Kurt Cobain’s death during lunch at a friend’s house. I can’t remember if Michael or Chris was the one who informed the other two of us… but I remember it seemed shocking, yet somehow not completely surprising. It kinda marked the beginning of the end of an era. For a…
Uncle Eddy’s Mixtapes: The Teenage Tune Picks of an Aspiring Chrome Plating Shop DJ
I think this episode’s mixtape has to be the most varietous one I’ve posted so far. (Yeah I made up a word… maybe I should have used “eclectic”??? I don’t know… I’m sticking with “varietous”… I like it) So far, all the mixes I’ve posted have all been from one era/genre… but this one spans…
Uncle Eddy’s Mixtapes: 1983… Eddy’s First Year With Music
Although I’ve got many old mixtapes to choose from for this series, most of them are from the same era, late 90s Christian alternative rock. And most of the recorded from radio tapes I have are from the early 90s. So it’s a bit of a challenge to vary the tapes I choose to post…
Uncle Eddy’s Mixtapes: Hutchinson’s #1 Hit Music Station 106.1 FM KSKU 1991-1992
In my last Mixtape Episode, I included a couple songs from the early 1990’s and mentioned that it seems like hit songs from that era don’t get much radio play these days. The classics from the 80s are all over the place, and we’re seeing a revival of mid-late 90s pop culture…but for some reason,…
RIP 2016: The Best of Who We Lost in Music – A Special Edition Mixtape
When The Farsighted assigned the task of coming up with lists of “Best of 2016”, I was a little lost at first. Due to some significant life changes in 2016, I felt more out of touch with current culture and entertainment than I ever have in my life. (It couldn’t have anything to do with…
Uncle Eddy’s Mixtapes Vol. II – Take Me Back to C’Stone ’96
Well… after an amazing debut, I’ve missed posting the last 2 weeks due to being under the weather. But before I went down, I found a great mixtape I had digitized last year, (well 2015… but it was “last year” when I found it the last week of December… I’m still discombobulated time wise due…
