Cinematic Journey
Helloes! My name is Shen and I will be guiding you through this magical cinematical journey. This week I will be exploring some of my favorite movies through their soundtracks. I am a HUGE movie fan. I watch a lot of movies, I own a lot of movies and I love a lot of movies. Film is definitely a hobby of mine. Some other semi interesting facts about myself include: I am 25 years old. I have a cat...

Australia and New Zealand
Hello Tumblr, and beyond. I’ve always loved the concept of the mix, and have made many for friends and lovers (mostly lovers), usually following a strict and somewhat arbitrary set of rules, some of which I must admit were cribbed from High Fidelity. My basic attitude to making a mix for someone is that it should say something about your relationship with them, say something about what you...

This Week: Down Under
Thanks, Sarah! This week, Anand is going to be creating a mix all about living in Australia and New Zealand. A New Zealand native himself, Anand now lives in Australia, so he has particular insight concerning this theme and I expect him to deliver quite the satisfying mix. Anand’s tumblr can be found right here. He’s also in the band called Sunrise Beach. Sunrise Beach’s...

Beating Chambers
Hey everyone. (: Just a little background on me. (: I’m just your average college sophomore- trying to figure out what I want to do with my life (my mind changes every day it seems) and procrastinating like no one’s business. I’ve been a radio DJ in the past so I’m a huge fan of making mixes. If I’m not distracting myself from school with music I’m running a photography business (which I’ll put in...

This Week: Beating Chambers
Thanks, Dan! This week, Sarah is creating a mix for us that centers on probably the most important organ in the human body; the heart! Sarah has a photography business called Heart of Gold Images that you should all check out. Her Tumblr can be located right here. If you’re interested in creating a mix for us, please contact me ASAP. You can check out the Ask or Submit buttons on the main...

Origin Stories
Every superhero needs an origin story. Sure, an audience willing to suspend disbelief about a man with the powers of a spider or a scientist who turns into giant green rage monster probably should not care too much about why these men can do these things, but what can you do? These origin stories help unravel the mystery surrounding the motivations of these people, why they are who they are and...

Next Week: Origin Stories
Thanks, Brad! What a great mix. Next week, Dan is going to create a mix that’s full of origin stories. Lots of singers, groups and songwriters have created their own mythology in their persona(s), performances and music, and Dan’s mix will explore some of those mythologies thoroughly. A neat idea for a mix, if I do say so myself. Dan’s Tumblr can be found right here, so do check...

1982!
1982, fools! Just one year in a century of recorded music. I didn’t grow up with much on this list. It didn’t soundtrack my formative undergrad years, or accrue meaning from romantic partners or romantic seasons. It’s something I decided to explore a couple months ago for a party. Soon after my final submission, I’ll turn 30. Symbolically, that’s the age one starts turning from keeping cultural...

This Week: 1982!
This week, Brad will make us a mix that pulls songs from one year and one year only; 1982. As Brad describes in his introduction, 1982 was quite a year in music and had something for everyone. Brad’s Tumblr can be found right here, so please do yourself a favor and check that out. He’s also a One Week One Band alum, and the week he spent covering Gary Glitter should probably be...

Back To School
I’m an English and Composition professor at a small college in Boston. Sometimes I think I got into education because I just really love school and always have. Obviously there are aspects of school that I’ve always disliked, even hated. And there are certainly aspects of academia that I absolutely despise. But all in all, I think being a teacher really fits my life and personality,...

Thanks, Andrea! Next week, Eamon plans to make a mix that takes us on a wilderness adventure. You can find Eamon’s tumblr right here. Should be quite the journey! Please let me know if you’re interested in creating a mix for One Week One Mix. If you’ve got an idea for one, or if you’d like to pencil in a week later down the road, shoot me an e-mail right here. As always,...
