Closing the book on this series with the seventh installment. In the first six, I went for bangers, earworms, personal favorites, and the tracks that were easiest to mix in and out of. What was left, I feared, were the skips and cast-asides. It turns out there’s no such thing in this folder of Skratch ’N Sniff (Malcolm Ryker and DJ Mike Czech) mashups I’ve had tucked away on my hard drive for the past 20 years.

I honestly believ...

This mixtape is a collection of vaporwave edits I’ve made over the last 6 months. During the pandemic, I discovered Vaporwave while working from home. As an '80s kid, I was instantly hooked by the often repetitive, 'chopped-and-screwed' flips of obscure ‘80s and ‘90s songs, which left me nostalgic for that time while simultaneously reminding me of the DJ Screw tapes I used to collect back in college, especially when he would slip i...

This mixtape is a collection of vaporwave edits I’ve discovered over the past few months. As I drive around while streaming Nightwave Plaza, I save any earworm that catches my ear. After a month or two, I sit down with Bandcamp open, track down each song, and finally clear out the saved screenshots from my phone.

彼女は壊れなかった。沈黙が語れぬことを彼女は歌にした。嵐の中、頭をさらし、真実は舞台を奪った。けれど、歌は消えなかった。

I recreated the mixtape I used to make for friends from Sinéad’s first two CDs, back when I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got blew up in 10th grade. RIP.

I firmly believe that both mainstream Rock and Roll and Hip Hop died in the year 2000. That said, I’ve always had a genuine soft spot for the early days of Skratch 'N Sniff’s mashups, before they started putting dubstep drops on everything and I lost interest after 2010. They used to post their edits as full tracks on a now-defunct site, and sometime around 2004, I grabbed as many as I could and tucked them away for safekeeping. It...

This mixtape is a collection of vaporwave edits I’ve picked up over the last few months. As I drive around streaming Nightwave Plaza, I save any earworm that catches my attention. After a month or two, I sit down with Bandcamp open in a tab, track down each song, and finally clear out the saved screenshots from my phone. That’s how I found the tracks for this tape.

With hardly any free time anymore, I’ve started cooking up vaporwave edits on the weekends to make the most of the few hours I get to myself.

During the pandemic, I discovered Vaporwave while working from home and was instantly hooked by the often repetitive, chopped-and-screwed edits of obscure ‘80s and ‘90s tracks, which reminded me of the DJ Screw tapes I used to bump back in college—especially the random ‘80s rock or R&B son...

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
