Mixing two songs together seamlessly is something that is part practice and part natural talent. Getting the two down marks synced and looping the music is all practice. But hearing two songs and imagining them together and then creating a musical experience that no one else literally imagined is the natural talent.

Nineteen year old Tumblr blogger Alan has butt loads of mixing talent. For example, Lorde and Fall Out Boy together on one track, and it works. It's musical magic. When I listen to his mixes, I'm usually blown away. He has a keen sense for layering and mixing songs that just astound and amaze me. But mostly I become infinitely jealous at how smooth his production.
Check out his Tumblr here, also he has an EP out. Oh, and just a reminder he is only nineteen.
Back in 2010, Zoo Kid released a home-made mixed and mastered track he created with his friends via House Anxiety Records at 16 years old.
In 2011, Zoo Kid transitioned to King Krule and debuted his new title at a festival in France.
I feel deprived to the bone that I hadn't heard of this kid before this past summer with his release of 6 Feet Beneath The Moonvia True Panther Sounds. It's November, and I'm still not over it.
The album is an incredibly layered piece of art that is impossible to confine to a genre, so I won't even bother.
It hits at every part of the body. It appeals to every sense. It is everything.
Read into this kid; at only 19 years old he will grab your attention and hold onto it. I was at WalMart and saw a relatively thin red headed boy, and my heart sunk thinking of King Krule. The feelings I experienced during the course of this record are that deep.
Here is an interview he did with The Guardian that is particularly effective in illustrating his demeanor; he encompasses a natural, relatable anger toward the world all the while possessing a relentless desire to do this "life" thing the right way.
An advertisement for undergarments that will protect ladies from being raped is making it's rounds on social media. Yes, it it anti-rape wear. A real life chastity belt that AR Wear created for females to wear underneath their clothes. Watch the ad below.
Many feelings arise after viewing this ad, both negative and positive.
First the negative. This product encourages the idea that women need be taught how to not get raped, instead of teaching men not to rape. It also shows the girl in the ad wearing party clothes with her anti-rape wear. This provides a subliminal message that girls only get raped when they go out, drink, and wear revealing clothes. Also, why isn't there a male version? Men get raped too. This is just scratching the surface. Getting into the nitty gritty negative aspects of this product and advertising would be exhausting. But the concept behind them, as a whole, is genius. These chastiy shorts were made to prevent rape. They will save some females from it and help lower rape rates.
In the end, if there is a product that will help women not get raped then society should be behind it. AR Wear just needs to reevaluate how their product is presented
