Sitcon Sounds 80’s Japanese City Pop Mix by Iron Mike

NEW MIX ALERT! Sitcon Sounds Vol. 2 for Situation Control. This is a compilation of Japanese City Pop Hits from the 80’s and I recorded this live in San Francisco March 28th, 2020 during the “shelter in place” quarantine.

I hope this mix will put a smile on your face and get you up off of the couch to dance a little while making a sandwich, doing laundry or provide a nice soundtrack while you’re “working from home”

Look out for more mixes in the coming weeks and thank you for listening and all of your support. Stay safe and be well.

Major shout out to Yuki Irons for the sweet cover art! “Be Danced!”

We got this Situation Controlled… – Iron Mike

Donegal Tweed

Donegal Tweed is a woven tweed manufactured in County Donegal, Ireland. Originally all handwoven, it is now mostly machine woven and has been since the introduction of mechanised looms in the 1950s/1960s. Donegal has for centuries been producing tweed from local materials in the making of caps, suits and vests. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, The Royal Linen Manufacturers of Ulster distributed approximately six thousand flax spinning wheels and sixty looms for weaving to various Donegal homesteads. These machines helped establish the homespun tweed industry in nineteenth-century Donegal.

Donegal Tweed fabric – with the characteristic small pieces of yarn in different colours
While the weavers in County Donegal produce a number of different tweed fabrics, including herringbone and check patterns, the area is best known for a plain-weave cloth of differently-coloured warp and weft, with small pieces of yarn in various colours woven in at irregular intervals to produce a heathered effect. Such fabric is often labelled as “donegal” (with a lowercase “d”) regardless of its provenance.
Along with Harris Tweed manufactured in the Scottish Highlands, Donegal is the most famous tweed in the world.
