They cover a lot of regional music scenes, so I focused this mix on my home turf of the Great Pacific Northwest - known locally as "Cascadia" be...

• New Mix: "Halloween Is For Monsters"

  by Audio Gasoline October 5, 2013
  Everyone's favorite holiday is here! Our gang of greaser ghouls with lo-fi lobotomies are firing-up their haunted hot rods in the graveyard of garage rock, slashing through the voodoo surf and bustin' punk'uns to tiny shreds of pulp. Come for the fuzz, stay for the reverb. The party ain't over 'til ...

• Extracting Audio From Pictures

  by Audio Gasoline October 3, 2013
  The amazing story of how a few audiophile scientists resurrected lost recordings from photographs of the extinct records. (Hint: remember how the shape of the sound groove mimics the actual sound wave...?)   http://mediapreservation.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/extracting-audio-from-pictures/ &n...

• Great Explanations: Northern Soul

  by Audio Gasoline September 30, 2013
  The BBC2 television station in England recently aired this short documentary-style story about the Northern Soul craze in that country during the mid 1970s. One of the best explanations I've seen about the scene, told by people who were there when it happened. Guaranteed to be the best half-hour his...

• "This Charming Charlie": Morrissey vs Charlie Brown

  by Audio Gasoline August 23, 2013
  Admittedly, I'm not the biggest Morrissey fan in the world, but this is a clever mash-up: lyrics from The Smiths and Morrissey's solo material interjected upon the introspective world of Charlie Brown. The mutual self-debasement is eerily comforting. See the whole collection at http://thischarm...
