Mixtape: Sunshine Earthquake – PsychPop Nuggets for a New Age

Been a while since I’ve had a mixtape, but getting the new site settle took a bit of that extra time this year. For the last couple of years it’s been great to round up the new wave of cosmic country into mixes and I’ve been meaning to do the same thing for psych-pop. Inspired by the scope of the original Nuggets boxes, I’ve decided to cast a wide net – including songs that skew towards the jangly and others that let the shadow of heaviness loom large. For this one the time period is the past few years, just to get things started, but hopefully this leads to some yearly mixes to come. The weather is nice and we could all use a little shakeup these days. Sunshine Earthquake it is, then.

Remember, RSTB patrons get the mixes early, plus exclusive mixes as well. All patrons should have already received The Blogspot Years, Vol. 1, chronicling cuts from the early days of Raven. If you’d like to check it out you can subscribe to the Patreon HERE.
