BUBBLE PUPPY AND FRIENDS: Borderline
http://bubblepuppyandfriends.blogspot.com/2013/03/borderline.html
Bubble Puppy and Friends: The Mixtapes and general ramblings of Kevin Purdy. Borderline. A place, a way of being. This mix has at its centre, a tribute to the mighty Doug Sahm. A true legend. Doug was Texan through and through, but not in that John Wayne way, more Paul Newman in 'Hud'. An outsider, an outlaw to straight society, with a lot of friends in the same boat, a massive musical talent and a man of controlled excess. With Doug Sahm as the centrepiece of this mix, I went outwards, collecting variou...

BUBBLE PUPPY AND FRIENDS: Teenage Kicks
http://bubblepuppyandfriends.blogspot.com/2015/01/teenage-blitz.html
Bubble Puppy and Friends: The Mixtapes and general ramblings of Kevin Purdy. With this mix, what I'm doing is an encapsulation of the sonic landscape of my world 1972 - 1975, compiling tracks that were played, owned and enjoyed regularly at my childhood home of. 42 Eastern Ave Revesby. There has been tons of amazing stuff that I have discovered from that period since then, but for the purpose of this mix I shan't cheat. You might say that stuff was already around, but my gen had more time to enjoy them.

BUBBLE PUPPY AND FRIENDS: SOUL STIRRERS
http://bubblepuppyandfriends.blogspot.com/2013/07/soul-stirrers.html
Bubble Puppy and Friends: The Mixtapes and general ramblings of Kevin Purdy. This mix is an attempt to connect the dots between the many musical influences which created what we know as Soul Music. To many people the musics and cultural development of the African American has been catalogued into a very simple minded categories. The concept of the black man, or black woman, or black music, for starters, is a strange one. I have never met a black person, a white one, a yellow one ,. Herded into the narrow...

BUBBLE PUPPY AND FRIENDS: Let Me Slide
http://bubblepuppyandfriends.blogspot.com/2014/01/let-me-slide.html
Bubble Puppy and Friends: The Mixtapes and general ramblings of Kevin Purdy. Wild, Wild, Screamin' Rock and Roll! That's what the kids of today are listening too. Music that would make any.

BUBBLE PUPPY AND FRIENDS: Soft Life
http://bubblepuppyandfriends.blogspot.com/2013/11/soft-life.html
Bubble Puppy and Friends: The Mixtapes and general ramblings of Kevin Purdy. Here's a mix I've had bubbling under for some time. Held back by the unavailability of some of the key tracks, which have now been re-released, in particular the Strawberry Alarm Clock, Left Banke and the Daisy Chain via Sundazed Records, plus the sounds of Inner Dialogue, Joe Byrd and other delights I have joyfully stumbled across. Apart from the folks mentioned we have have a super groovy line up of the Association, the Monkee...

BUBBLE PUPPY AND FRIENDS: Projects and Praise
http://bubblepuppyandfriends.blogspot.com/2012/11/projects-and-praise.html
Bubble Puppy and Friends: The Mixtapes and general ramblings of Kevin Purdy. On another note, it seems to be the season of Roxy Music lately, most likely due to the release of the new boxed set, but what's exiting me is the Capitol 180gm vinyl re-issues of the first few albums. Listening through them in their entirety for the 1st time in a while has made me realise what a potent and truly amazing band they were. Totally wonderful, totally unique. Check it out.

BUBBLE PUPPY AND FRIENDS: Goodnight Lou, Goodnight
http://bubblepuppyandfriends.blogspot.com/2013/11/goodnight-lou-goodnight.html
Bubble Puppy and Friends: The Mixtapes and general ramblings of Kevin Purdy. Goodnight Lou, Goodnight. When I was 14, my brother Mark, who was 18 introduced me to Lou Reed. Not just a hit singles worth but everything he could get his hands on. Caravan park at midnight, 1973, mushroom candle and incense burning, buddah burning, my mind burning as Lou Reed, Lou Reed spins around. The baby bird, the wave. Transformer. Fuck! Before he was happening. So the groundwork was laid. Everyone who encountered th...
