hold yr breath

oldmanpool copy

There’s something about plunging into a crisp swimming pool that makes me feel completely isolated from the masses in my surroundings. The images in my chlorine filled eyes are familiar yet not completely defined, a mash up of chatter (which I’m, most likely, not interested in) is almost completely filtered out through the water, and I’m completely floating in a medium where the normal rules of gravity don’t apply. More themed than most of my mixtapes, these tracks (which also happen to be new/ish) are nearly as muffled as the bros in the pool crowd. And Robin, I gots that jj for ya.

FINALLY: No, this isn’t the podcast, yet, but I’ve included a link to download this weeks mixtape in its entirety. Enjoy!

Tim DeLaughter’s blog, The Fragile Army, has released another demo from his recordings in the West Village. Just recently nominated for an Emmy for the title tune to The United States of Tara, this will be his third new release in the past week. “Apart”, is Tim’s new exploration of GarageBand and he is “just getting it down”. Didn’t take him too long to get with the program. This is more of the minimal, downtempo wholesomeness displayed in the previous (recent) tunes. Also, Mr. DeLaughter notes a theme that should become more apparent as he continues to release these demos. One that is “VERY important for me(Tim) to express”. Make sure to grab the other demos while visiting his site.
