less polka, larry david. (a mixtape by ham salad)

Sometimes I wonder, "what would HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm be like if there wasn't any Polka music?" As fitting as it may be, perhaps Mr. David wouldn't be such an awkward, neurotic mess if he just listened to a bit of disco every now and then. In this mixtape, you will find a blend of old and new, from Madonna to Teenage Bad Girl, Hall and Oates to StardonE. Along with a happening playlist are the comedy stylings of Michael J. Fox, JB Smoove, and of course, the big "LD."

super bayside back II: the new challengers (a mixtape by ham salad)

Did you enjoy the first mixtape, Back II Bayside? The poorly executed, but well meaning mix with a heart of gold? Well, the wait is over! Re-balanced gameplay! New roster of characters! Now you and a friend can pick the same character in versus mode!! Experience Back II Bayside like you never have before with the latest mixtape, Super Bayside Back II: The New Challengers. I've always wanted to revisit the Back II Bayside playlist once my mixing skills improved. A couple of my favorite songs were wasted on the first one and I wanted to do them justice. I'm very excited about this one and I truly hope you enjoy it.

booty bass confusion (a cinquain about INOJ)

INOJ,

You proclaimed love.

But there was something odd.

All your songs bumped the booty bass.

Confused.

a haiku about Siamese cats.

I do not blame you.

Lady was asking for it.

Oh cats, I do please!

tom yum disco. (a mixtape by ham salad)

Greetings, friends and lovers! It has been awhile since our last rendezvous, has it not? I have been busy working for the man, but I'll tell you something, world. I'll never let that turkey get me down. I've gotta spread my wings and fly like an eagle. In this mixtape, you'll find your usual boogie-down entrée. However, along with that, are the voices of the culinary world. A slutty Nigella Lawson, a stuttering Martin Yan, and a giggly Gordon Ramsay have joined us on this voyage. All of this, plus the sweet, sour, and savory flavors of tom yum goong. It's a feast for the senses!

everyday situations (a mixtape by ham salad)

Have you ever wondered what everyday conversations were like between children in South Korea? More specifically, have you ever wondered what everyday conversations were like between children in South Korea as interpreted by a Canadian English teaching school? This week's mixtape is not only going to make you dance, but answer these very questions. Mixing game has definitely stepped up this week as I dub this one my best mixtape yet. Give it a listen, won't you?
