It’s good — do I ever do a bad mixtape? Feel free to listen:

Shock Of The New

And not instrumental tracks in the neo-orchestral, Tangerine Dream-esque vein, these are all part of the greater rock domain — mostly art rock and post punk, but there’s even an italo disco track thrown in there for those who clamor for such sounds.

Paging Dr. Beat! http://mattrut.com/2010/02/03/emergency-paging-dr-beat/ http://mattrut.com/2010/02/03/emergency-paging-dr-beat/#comments Thu, 04 Feb 2010 02:16:20 +0000 Matthew Rutledge http://mattrut.com/?p=1618 I finally got around to creating a new mixtape — one that I have actually planned off and on for over a year now. I didn’t exactly put much thought into it, at least not compared to some previous efforts. But it’s still a good representation of disco, italo disco, new wave, industrial, freestyle and sophistidisco. You may as well just listen to it inside the blog post window:

Goodbye 2009, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Hence the name “Plankton.” Enjoy!
