NEW LINK (2025) - I Don't Want Any Flowers - Compiled & mixed by The Cowboys From Sweden (2021)


Finally, after many years in the works, I'm very pleased to present the latest mix tape by The Cowboys From Sweden. It almost feels silly now to admit that I started working on this mix many years ago (probably around 2013 or so), and for various reasons, I kept letting it sit, not allowing myself to finish it.  Why would anybody work on a mixtape for nearly ten years? Years ago I had the realization that making mixtapes was my only true form of keeping a diary.  I've never been one to document my life in any meaningful way.  So in a sense, my mixes have become autobiographical in an abstract kind of way, using other's art to paint a mood or atmosphere of my general experience at any given time in my life (which is really what music is so good at doing after all).  All that said, the past 7 or 8 years have brought a lot of change in my life, bad and good, which is another reason this mix went on and on.  The message kept changing.  I Don't Want Any Flowers (the title taken from a Luboš Fišer track from his 1972 soundtrack "Morgiana & The Cremator") in the end became about reflecting on life and its many complexities. Living, dreaming, loving, losing, joy, regret, longing, acceptance, contentment, friendships, solitude, nostalgia, reflection, frustration, etc... It's meant to be a deep introspective listen, a dream-like trip through self reflection. Or you can just enjoy these pretty songs and ignore the hidden messages.  Either way, I hope you enjoy it.

Headphones recommended. A long walk is also recommended.  Thanks to everybody who's been listening all these years, I appreciate you and your kind comments.

- Eric (The Cowboys From Sweden)

    Así es, la música, como cualquier otra faceta artística, lo que hace es exponer públicamente sentimientos, sensaciones, estados de ánimo en parte subjetivos pero que suelen empatizar con quién se deja llevar.
    Ocho años no es nada si el resultado es lo que uno busca.

    i really wish i could master the ability to click
    the correct link on Zippyshare, so that it
    doesn't open to 25 other pages
    telling me i need to upgrade FLASH
    etc......it's a tricky process, but
    i'm not giving up yet!

    Hi AgnosticClown i DID finally get it to work...
    it took awhile, and i don't even know which link
    finally did it......what i found worked best
    was to make sure my browser (Safari)
    is set to open links in new TABS, instead
    of opening a new window from each link-
    that way they don't start all randomly opening
    up to the spam pages....

    Hi, Eric, hope you are well! I was so excited to find there was a new compilation by by legendary TCFS. I must have checked the blog a couple of times without seeing it otherwise I can't believe I haven't done it in more than 2 years! Unfortunately I am in the UK and can't use those links. Any chance you can provide a new link? (Not sure if they are obsolete or just blocked here in dystopian Brexitland though!) Thanks a lot and all the best for you! Manu*
