Brand new mixes hot of the desk of Din. Says he: “This song has been speaking to me lately, and I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the earlier mixes, SO! I went in and did ’em fresh and here’s the 2024 rebottle.”

Latest single and EP from our very own me.
I jumped out of a plane
And then I changed my mind
So I jumped back in the plane
And now we’re fly-y-in’ fine
I jumped off of a bridge
And then I changed my mind
So I jumped back on that bridge
Just singin’ my oh my
I changed my mind
Oh yes I changed my mind
I didn’t like my mind
Cos it was bringing me down
And giving me bad thoughts
That I didn’t like
So I sent them all packin’
Because I changed my mind
You know I changed my mind
Because I changed my mind
That’s why I changed my mind
Oh yes I changed my mind
Oh I changed my mind
Hey, I went to fight a tiger
But then I changed my mind
Not messin’ with no bears, neither
It doesn’t seem wise
And I’ve chosen to abandon
Some things I don’t like
Yes, I’m raising up my standards
Because I changed my mind
That’s right I changed my mind
I simply changed my mind
Oh yes I changed my mind

Hits the streaming services on March 16.
Rocking the actual nightlife in actual Berkeley et environs in these wild recent years, The Recyclists have made two (TWO!) (that’s 2) albums since I last checked in with ‘em. On the streaming services you may find their latest plus all their lovely organic jams at your recycling leisure. Is there a more Berkeley name than The Recyclists? No. The correct answer is No. And no need to crow, but crow I will, I really like their latest sunny blast o’ fun, No Need To Crow from their new One More Sunny Day album. As an unrepentant morning person I love a good morning song, and in the Recyclists’ musical world, it somehow always feels like a brisk and hopeful new day.
Here they are on Pandora, and Spotify, and Apple Music, and by gosh, I bet you can catch ‘em live at an East Bay venue soon. Let’s look it up.. Ah! Like magic, an Oakland gig in one week, Elbo Room on Broadway, Caturday Feb. 24.
Recyclist-guitarist Stace Wright also continues to operate the fantastic Bandworks program, for which for a time I also worked as a band coach. This was during the end of The UpTones (apparently) final run, and after the big horrible fires hit NorCal in 2017, The Recyclists stepped up and joined us for a benefit concert to help those impacted by the disasters. Skank Bank and Matt Jaffe were also on that show, and indeed, these artists also have a history with Bandworks, as young students and as coaches. So there’s a lot of mutual Berkeley love flying about between these entities, and of course Ashkenaz, which hosted said benefit AND many Bandworks concert events over the years.
