Turquoise Wisdom :: Springtime Promises / A Mixtape

Hi. Turquoise Wisdom (aka Zach Cowie) here with another installment of the SAD SEASONS series for Aquarium Drunkard. Here are some moody jams for a late evening in the springtime. Please also check out this Beach Boys mixtape that’s chilling in the Sound Clouds for an early taste of heavy SUMMER feelings…and for you LA readers – I’ll be spinning tunes at Dublab’s Krautrock Classics show June 1st and again before Cinespia’s screening of Lolita in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery Saturday the 2nd. I thank you, -zc/tw

YES. Always love TW’s mixes. Heard he’s compiling/curating that Country Funk comp coming on Light in the Attic, any truth to that?
4 | Kaley May 29th, 2012 at 3:11 pm
@Kaley – yeah, cowie did it along with pat and matt I think. it’s solid.

love love love your mixes, this one made my day
6 | ashley May 29th, 2012 at 5:13 pm
I love these mixtapes, but I really preferred when they were a bunch of distinct tracks.

“Moody jams for a late evening in the springtime”? Absolutely, beautifully true.

Just one question: is it AD policy now on mixes to combine the tracks into a single, long mp3? I know earlier mixes had the songs split up.
8 | M May 29th, 2012 at 9:40 pm
@M – nope, these past two just happened to be like this, as will the next one you’ll see popping up in the next couple of weeks.

the Flirting intro into Baby fits so damn perfectly
10 | Jeremy May 30th, 2012 at 7:12 am
AD,
your mixes make studying for the MCAT exponentially more enjoyable. I think your site is the best blog on the web, and you should trust me, I’m almost a doctor.

Is that a tipoff to an upcoming mondo boys mix?
12 | AJ Kinsel May 30th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Once again…all killer, no filler. All hail TW!
13 | Neal June 5th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Hey, sorry i know you’ve said that this and some other mixes will be one single track- but is there any chance of uploading a track by track version of this? I’d be really grateful, these turqoise wisdom mixes are superb btw!
14 | Adam July 13th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
nope
15 | Satisfied '75 July 13th, 2012 at 5:36 pm
i finally listened to this while making my way through the most chaotic beijing rush hour subway ride ever yesterday and it was perfect. totally sent me/ kept me on an awesome meditative trip throughout, thank you!!!

i was wondering what you used to make the chapters in the file that everyone’s talking about? seems like a convenient way to make/distribute a mix and i’d love to play around with it, but i haven’t been able to figure it out.
