01 A Song Of Regret - Disc Seven by Simon Tamblyn

02 Melodrama - Disc Seven by Simon Tamblyn

03 All Our Houses by Simon Tamblyn

04 Champagne and Italian Cars - Disc Seven by Simon Tamblyn

05 Shut Up, Go Away - Disc Seven by Simon Tamblyn

06 Aeroplane - Disc Seven by Simon Tamblyn

So, I just finished disc seven yesterday. I was quite surprised, as I was expecting this to be the most difficult as I had the least amount of time... and not only because it's February, the shortest month of the year, but because The Sleepers were on tour - we had a great response from Gauteng and Durban, check out our blog entry. But all in all there were no hiccups with disc seven, so hurrah! Enjoy!
On Sunday, Linda and I had a little jam with the very talented Philip from Sidecar Fire. Philip brought all his shakers and splashes and drums (and a six pack – hurrah!) and the jam sounded very promising, and the four of us will hopefully grace a stage somewhere in CT city soon, with a whole batch of new songs.
I know a lot of you have been enjoying the downloads (603 plays and 142 downloads since August!) but unfortunately I'm running out of space on my Soundcloud account, as you only get a certain amount of time assigned to every free account. So I am forced to remove the entire disc one in order to present to you disc seven. This will probably turn into a monthly event ie. next month disc two must make way for disc eight. But at the same time I'm almost quite happy about it, it would be nice to purge those earlier bad recordings and let some newer and better recorded songs take their place and do the rounds. And also, now you'll know who the first listeners were;)
There are also some listeners from outside South Africa who have got some Tape Hiss and Sparkle in their lives, thanks for joining. Enjoy the music! And spread the word!
Simon

About Mixtape

Mixtape is a blog run (loosely) by Linda Stupart as a manifestation of a project in which she collaborates with a large group of smart, interesting, wonderful cultural producers. As such, Mixtape documents these collaborations. More than that, though, the blog serves as a space for each member of the project to post whatever they like: Tell us what they’re making, thinking, doing or, even, feeling. The blog also forms a space for Linda, a Cape Town based critic, artist, feminist, WWE fan and cultural commentator, to post her writing.
