This is internet and THIS is our monthly mixtape. With Dirty Gold, The Drums, Cant and more, “Dayummm” is what we hope you’ll be saying about this one. And in case you were wondering…. yes, it’s Chuck Norris approved. [animated GIFs via IHeartChaos]

What’s your favorite part of October? Indian summers, costumes, pumpkins, decorative gourds? Please just don’t say tell us the new Bieber single that’s out today. This month’s mix has Real Estate, Mayer Hawthorne, Hodgy Beats, Jonathan Wilson and something totally unexpected to close. Just go ahead now.

Our friends over at Turntable Kitchen have cooked up something delicious — and it’s not just food. They’ve recently introduced a monthly Pairings Box subscription, a “curated food and music discovery experience.” I’m not talking about some random recipes thrown together — this is truly a labor of love. Kasey and Matt spend hours pouring over recipes and artists to come up with the perfect pairings, and then send you their hand-selected choices. You get a vinyl (yes, they are old school and we love it), recipes, special ingredients… you know what? Just check it out here for yourself, and hurry because there might already be a waiting list for next month!

With autumn officially days away, it’s time to throw Summer 2011 a going away party, so make sure you’re enjoying those rooftops, patios and stoops to the fullest.  This month’s got some tracks to help you make the transition including music from Girls, Feist, Youth Lagoon, Cuckoo Chaos and more!

August has been mighty fine as far as mixtapes go. We had our Outside Lands mix a couple weeks back and now’s it time for the regular monthly release. We’ve got comedy by Ricky Gervais and music by M83, Neon Indian, Sondre Lerche and more. Share and like it if ya dig. Better yet, support these artists!

Who’s going to Outside Lands this weekend? With half of the HM crew in the Bay this weekend to get our summer music festival fix, we thought we’d drop a quick mix of some of the artists we’re looking forward to seeing. While there’s always some choices and compromises to be made (it’s killing me that Toro Y Moi and Foster The People are playing 10 minutes apart on a 3-day festival) this is still going to be a great time. Hit us up if you’ll be there. We’ll hang!

Back in October, I wrote about this awesome video that portrayed a trip overseas. When my brother, who’s currently living in London (I’m trying maintain my levels of jealousy…), sent me to Rick Mereki’s Vimeo page this morning, I was flooded with the same feeling I had in October: the yearning to travel, explore, and taste the world. Well, right now I’ll just have to live vicariously through Rick’s gorgeous videos of his time spent with friends abroad.
