Free Mishka Radio Friendly Shifter Unit Mixes

Posted on 06.20.2009 at 9:20 am by Adam in Music

I’ve always said that I have had a good appreciation for music. I can thank my parents for that. When my Mom would drive me and my friends in to school, it was an adult contemporary mix station from the 70′s through the 90′s that we listened to, and we always loved it when Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard it Through The Grapevine” came on. And when we were on road trips as a family? It was usually my Dad’s country music, so I heard a lot of Garth and learned every word to Alabama’s “Song of the South” by the time I was in eigth grade.

So when I found these free Mishka Radio Friendly Unit mixes (volume 1 and volume 2), they reminded me so much of the music I’d listened to when I was at home, practicing guitar: Soundgarden, L7, Cake, Weezer, The Pixies, Sublime, etc.

And to get two mixes downloaded for free like that? Can’t complain at all… Now just to sync up my mp3 player…

Wow… a couple of these songs are some of the most gawd awful stuff I’ve heard in a long time (although, that’s simply my 2¢ worth! ) …

With titles like “My Detachable Penis”; “F***in’ in the Bushes”; and “Hobo Humping Slobo Babe”, I’m honestly not quite sure how this is considered “radio safe.”

There are, however, some decent tracks in there–Weezer, etc.

I guess the price is right! Parents, just be forewarned if lil Johnny asks “Mommy, what’s a detachable penis??” amongst other things. heh heh heh

Thanks for the post!!

Hey folks, for quick iTunes instructions, just follow this:

1) That site requires a free registration. You do that in the upper right corner. Once you do, you can quickly download the files (depending on how fast your internet connection is.
2) After you download them, right click and unzip them to folders with the same name as the ZIP files. Then, move these to whatever directory you store your music in.
3) Finally, just drag these two folders on top of your iTunes playlist. It should auto-populate them into your iTunes, and you’re good to go!

And if you notice, the only instruction there that is PC specific is the “right click”–those instructions would work on a Mac too, minus the “right click.” From my old school Mac memory, it’s like “Open apple-click” or something like that for file/folder options? Ah well…

I believe I have the music now. I don’t really understand how to zip or unzip and I’m sure I did this the hard way, but I just tried different things until it seemed to work. I saved all the music to a file then I opened that file and cliked the “extract files” then saved it to a new folder. I think doing that unzipped them?? Anyway from there I could drag them into my i-tunes fine. Hope this is somewhat helpful. :/
