R2witco is Whit Anderson: designer, Star Wars geek, cat lover, artist of sorts, and probably a few other things as well.

This is an outlet that tracks my online behavior. There are a few of my different feeds pumping information here to be easily digested by anyone wanting to see what's going on.

I've stopped posting so much Star Wars stuff on this tumblr, and have started posting all of that on my Star Wars tumblog ~ DBSW.

This is a great mix, I’ve been listening to it all day. Zounds, it’s here! After pounding away for five or six weeks, I submit for your approval: The Sway. A trim 35 minutes of old fashioned rhythm & blues from mid-century New Orleans and Texas. Listen in your browser with OpenTape:http://david.likesto.kickouttheja.ms/sway/ Or download an archive of MP3s:http://david.likesto.kickouttheja.ms/sway/sway.zip I created this mix in the style of my Space Age Pop mixtape; that is, I downloaded every possible song I could find in the genre, rated ‘em all and assembled my favorites. To examine a few gems… Fats Domino - Be My GuestI alluded in an earlier post that a Fats ur-ska track would make an appearance, and indeed it managed to survive my ruthless editing. If this isn’t just downright ska, it at least contains all the elements. The Blenders - Don’t Fuck Around With LoveA bit juvenile, perhaps, but it makes me smile every time; the singers themselves can barely keep from laughing. I always love songs that show their seams, like… The Showmen - 39-21-40 Shape…with its cracked voices and missed notes. I like to imagine that they recorded this in one take, then the singer was filled with lust and had to excuse himself to find whoever this song is about. The full albums I recommend picking up are: The Fats Domino Jukebox (great full sounding remasters), I Didn’t Want To Do it by The Spiders, and Lost Dreams: The New Orleans Vocal Groups. Enjoy and let me know what you think! via irondavy
