First: a mea culpa. Yes, the Slicing Up Eyeballs Mixtape Department has fallen down on the job, failing to produce a new entry in the Auto Reverse series since winter wrapped its cruel grip across this land. That dark chasm of silence even prompted one loyal listener to email us: “Why do you hate the mixtapes?”

With just a couple days left in February, we’ve just managed to squeeze in this month’s (belated) installment in the Auto Reverse series: two fresh 45-minute sides that you can stream via Mixcloud, or download, at least for a limited time, courtesy of the link included right here.

Another month, another mixtape: The Auto Reverse series returns for January, with two fresh 45-minute sides that you can stream via Mixcloud, or download, at least for a limited time, courtesy of the link included below. This month’s tape includes new music from The Mission and the Pixies and plenty of old favorites.

Seeing as how we’re a bit late in delivering the December entry in the Auto Reverse mixtape series, we’re going to break format slightly and instead drop a huge Christmas mix on you — a 40-song, two-hour collection of festive fare from the likes of X, R.E.M., Cocteau Twins and more.

After righting the mixtape ship last month, we’ve made great efforts to re-stablize delivery of the Auto Reverse series, and so now comes the November installment. Below you can stream via Mixcloud, or download, two 45-minute sides brimming with great music from your favorite artists.

Well, this is a tad more than just a little embarrassing. We’re not just a couple weeks behind, but, rather, nearly two months late in posting the next installment in the Auto Reverse mixtape series — so late, in fact, that we’ve gone ahead and made it a double. So download or stream all four 45-minutes of music new and vintage.
