Friday Mixtape #48 - The Reflex - mp3

Spring has sprung! Yet I give you some dark electro and 80s. What can I say, that's how I roll. Get your sexy slow drum machine on tonight, life is too short. At Love Action headquarters we're definitely mourning the loss of Malcolm McLaren, so I've included two acts that were his brainchild. I've also included... to the public's ears for the very first time the official remix of my band's song Bad Boyfriend. It's the 'Cast Aside Brides Remix' and it's dark and epic and makes our band want to float away off stage in a giant hot dog. I'll be sending a link to download that track soon.
Enjoy!

Friday Mixtape #47 - Dark Days - mp3

April you say? Well only that of Irish April which means Sun on Sunday, Rain on Monday, Snow on Tuesday. Friday is upon us and we started out miserable and grey and have now ended up bright and sunny. It's also Good Friday, which in Ireland translates to official 'House Party Friday' also known as Zombie Jesus Day. Just remember the old saying: April Showers Bring May Flowers.

Friday Mixtape #46 - Sunshine Yellow - mp3

It won't take you long to guess by the name of this mixtape that the weather in Dublin is slowly turning from bitter to springy. Today especially was a lovely sunny breezy day that was perfect for cycling around the city... hence music for breezy Spring days and activities. Typically, last week when I was going out of my way to find decent covers I struggled, and now this week I came across possibly two of my favorite covers of all time by accident. It's pretty psyche-pop-rockin with the usual dose of electro-pop that I always tend to slip in. Nice.

Have fun this weekend, enjoy the weather... GO OUTSIDE!

Friday Mixtape #45 - Use Somebody - mp3

This week's mixtape is another themed mix... it's made up entirely of cover songs... and covers done in my favorite way... completely different to the original! It's pretty mellow, which might be a good musical choice for my fellow Irish dwellers as we need to calm ourselves after the Paddys Week festivities.

Also included of course is a Big Star cover in honor of the late Alex Chilton who passed away this week. Enjoy.

Another non-friday mixtape.... and this time I can only blame the drink. To help those of you like me, who over-indulged this weekend, I've put together a bit of a relaxing come-down mix. Even if you aren't nursing a sore head, it's a very Sunday evening appropriate mix, a tinge of the sad and melancholy, as relaxing and calming as possible.

Enjoy the rest of your day off, stay in your jammies, relax and drink sugary tea and chocolate and close your eyes and listen to this mix.

Weekend Mixtape #43 - The Get Go - mp3

This week, due to life's usual way of getting in the way, Friday's mixtape became a "weekend mixtape". So I decided to give my mix a theme of something some of you might be likely to do at the weekend... exercise. Well, speaking for myself I've been in training for the Great Ireland Run which takes place in April.

This mix is designed to be the perfect upbeat driving accompaniment to any type of workout; whether it's an exercise kind of workout, or a workout on your dancing shoes. I'd say it's particularly good for spinning as the speeds change from double time to halftime, but my plan is to use it while running, or even to time myself in the gym. It's exactly an hour, with a five minute cool down & stretch at the end. Oooh wee!

So if you feel like sweating it out... or just pretending to, give this mix a listen.
