Music

I Made You A Mixtape

November 17, 2014

Last Updated on July 17, 2021

In my teen years, if we were friends, you probably received a mixtape from me. I probably spent hours pouring over cassette after cassette trying to find the most perfect song that I thought you might just love. More often than not, it was indie music. Something obscure you’d never heard before, and my hopes were that you’d love a certain band just as much as I did. Growing up in a small rural town in Wisconsin made it difficult to find anything that wasn’t Top 40 or Country. But I lived close enough to Madison, and State Street had great college record stores that fed my need for something different.

Mixtape Playlist

[sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://houseofhipsters.com/music/RadInfluencesOfHOH1.mp3″]
So I’ve gone round and round as to why or why not to create a mixtape for you guys. Music is so particular. The Boy HATES the music I listen to. Hates it. Don’t get me wrong, because he loves me, he listens along without complaint. But usually, when we are in the car together to satisfy both our needs, we listen to Classic Rock. Well, that is if Little Maus isn’t in the car with us…then we listen to episodes of Strawberry Shortcake over and over and over again. I don’t want to turn any of my readers off with my music choice. So I hope if you don’t like my musical picks, you just skip over this post rather than changing the channel altogether. You have to promise to come back (Thursday’s post is going to be so much fun!) To be honest, do you like this mixtape post? Do you want to see more like this or should we forgo for the future? What are your favorite songs? Enlighten me.

I must tell you that track 13 is very near and dear to my heart. It’s by a band called PHOX. They are from my hometown of Baraboo, and I’ve seen them a few times this past year. They played Lollapalooza a couple of years ago. Earlier this year they played SXSW and most recently they play the Conan O’Brian show. If you like that one, then play this song/video on YouTube. I had a tie between 1936 and Slow Motion. I love them both. So here’s my big shout-out to PHOX!

    Dude. I think we’re musical soul mates. If PHOX ever come to Seattle I’m so there. I love Found music, you know?! The cups and the background stuff?! What a great wake up song. More please.

      There’s a play button that is kinda hiding above that. I’m not sure why the jump is going down to far, but there’s a whole playlist up there. Glad you like it Anna. And they are touring right now. They are opening for The Head and the Heart. I don’t see Seattle on their tour schedule right now, but I know they have been out there.

    I grew up in a WI small town, too!! I lived near Green Bay, and always thought Madison was the cool WI city, so you are lucky to have close by;)

    I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have had a listen to a sampling of your “mixed tape” . Always in search of music that moves me, I’ve found it harder and harder to find- not because people aren’t making it – but because it’s not easy to access. I adore this song and this band and am now about to have a go and listen to the rest on your list. Thank you for sharing- and for being a girl with an ear and love for authentic, unique and soulful music.

      Oh Kathi! I’m so excited you like PHOX, and I really hope you like the rest of the mix. I debated long and hard if I should post something like this since I didn’t want anyone to be turned off. Music is such a personal taste. But it makes me so excited to hear you like this one!
