Jay Porter (mastermind behind North Park restaurants The Linkery and El Take It Easy) put this mix together from his new pad in Ensenada, just South of Valle de Guadalupe. Check out some of his recent musings, including his Biased Guide to Mexican Wine Country, and enjoy the mix!

2012 is gonna be a year about mixing it up a bit with the old, the current & the new. Simply, having fun and keeping it real in all matters of life. Last year brought me many challenges all around, personally and in business, life tests. Had time to reflect on what’s important over the break: family, friends, loved ones, music, food & realized how beautiful it can be when it all comes together. Real good food & music are universal & timeless. Lets take on this year with an attitude about inspiring, sharing & enjoying. After all, it’s supposed to be the last year according to the Mayans. YEAR OF THE HOMI!

Roy Silverstein has gradually & humbly become an institution in the San Diego music scene. It all started several years ago with The Habitat (which has more recently become Habitat House), a craftsman style home in Golden Hill where Silverstein lived, held live shows, and produced music for many folks. Señor Silverstein then went on to publish an e-book advising inspired music-heads on How to Run a Successful House Show Venue, while continuing to produce records for countless artists after moving to North Park.
Silverstein is currently in the process of building a recording studio from the ground up at his home in North Park, pulling out all the stops by enlisting the design services of Wes Lachot. We are very excited to listen to the next phase of this story unfold as Silverstein is armed with a proper production space by which to help bands up their game on record.
Without further adieu, here’s a mix that Roy put together for us… a final Minstrel Fridays mixtape for 2011.

These are a mix of bands and songs that deserve some attention. Some I know personally, others I admire from afar. Some, I’ve even had the pleasure of working with. Some played in my livingroom. They all keep it real.

For this week’s installment of Minstrel Fridays, we are honored to share with you a mix by one of the artists from VOLUME (opening reception is TONIGHT, 6/24)– San Diego legend Otis B. Known simply as “O”, he sings loud and paints abstract pieces like the one shown above.
Here’s some background on O, as told by Trouser Press:
Otis Barthoulameu, who chooses to be known simply as O., was the renaissance man of the early ’90s San Diego scene. Besides fronting fluf and playing guitar in Olivelawn, the hefty singer/guitarist has been a roadie (for the Muffs), oft-published skateboarding photographer, record producer (for further, among others), van driver, stagehand (Ministry’s Psalm 69 tour), 7-inch single manufacturer (Rocket From the Crypt, Tanner) and a T-shirt hawker at his own shows — all in the name of no-bullshit rawk’n'roll, the music to which he’s zealously dedicated.
Take a listen to O’s mixtape, aptly named Songs I Love…

I can’t wait for summer. Bright skies. Bike rides around the hood. Tall boys in the park. Swimming in the ocean. Passing out on the beach. Long days and warm nights. So this playlist is my blessing for a real San Diego summer. It’s the soundtrack to your perfect summer day. It’s coming…I can feel it.
