flux.

With the return of original singer Carah Faye, the electronic indie rock band Shiny Toy Guns are back in a big way. Carah’s return was announced last month and the single “The Sun” was recently released on their site.

I had the chance to chat with Carah and Jeremy on a Sunday afternoon a few weeks back during Grammy weekend. After a late night on the town, I met the duo for coffee in Hollywood where we chatted about the rebirth of Shiny Toy Guns, their upcoming album, all things social media…and their love of Eminem’s new artist Yelawolf! It was the best afternoon ever!

This mix serves as sort of a substitute for the August Edition of the monthly mixtape series.  It may also serve as a mix for September,  as I’ll be traveling for the majority of the month!

I’m thrilled to report that next week, I’m traveling to Argentina to serve as a Brand Ambassador for Tom’s Shoes. I’ll be participating in Tom’s One Millionth Shoe Drop and covering the experience here from my Blackberry Torch. I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty excited for the trip. Not only to participate in the Tom’s Shoes experience but to visit places I’ve never been before – Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls!

Much more to come, very soon. In the meantime, lean back, turn it up – and hope u enjoy
