According to Suburban Home Records founder, Virgil Dickerson, he was inspired by a documentary he saw about mix tape culture in hip-hop and decided to put one together himself. It features bands from the Suburban Home Records roster as well as artists that he's a big fan of. And as he says on the CD cover:
Burn it, share it, post it on your blog or send it out through Sendspace or Yousendit. If you find an artist you like please find their releases, check out their shows and tell others about them. Most of these artists are on small labels and need word of mouth to help spread the word about what they're doing.
I can get behind that. So, here is a link to the entire CD for you to download, link to ... whatever.
Track listing and more below the cut:
SUBURBAN HOME RECORDS Mixtape Volume 1, Raising Hell & Living Cheap
Now, the more astute of you may have recognized the title of the mixtape, Raising Hell and Living Cheap, as a line from Tim Barry's song (and mixtape opening track), "Thing of the Past." It's also the opening track on Tim's new album, 28th & Stonewall, which was released on January 26 (purchase here). In a word, the new album is "great" and there will be a proper writeup for it on here and ninebullets next week Until then, Virgil is allowing us to host a full stream. So check it out below, give the mixtape a listen and tell us what you think of it all!
Tim Barry will be in town opening for Against Me! at State Theatre on Saturday, February 20. Also appearing on the mixtape is Jon Snodgrass, who will be performing with Corey Branan on Friday, March 12, at The Emerald. I hope to see y'all out in St. Pete at either of those shows.
