Jump in the Delorean, drink some robitussin, blast off into outerspace, and enjoy this bouillabaisse of fist-pumping synth pop, breezy jangle guitar rock, hydraulic popping hiphop, with a pinch of squealing keytars. I started this mix, and Ben French  helped me finished it. A wonderful collabo. This mix is a nice companion piece to Ben’s “Saab After Dark”. 1. Love Like A Sunset Part I (Edit) - Phoenix2.

“Our Prayer” by the Beach Boys or How To Cleanse Your Musical Palette

Back in 1999, I was living in Chicago with this dude, and he gave me a tip that I’ve always gone back to when putting together playlists.

Ben was in the living room making a mix tape for a friend, and he was explaining to me that he likes to start his mixes with the Beach Boys track “Our Prayer,” because it “cleanses the palette.”

I totally bit. Brilliant analogy, and a brilliant tip. Virtually any track will sound good after “Our Prayer,” from LWIII to Tupac.  Can’t go wrong. Thanks Fuqua!
