the times when i have no time to waste are the times when i waste time the most.
so today, in the midst of writing my past-due dissertation, i made a mix. because apparently every time i have a stupid idea in the shower, i just run with it.
and here it is: all of the songs start with numbers, and none of the numbers can be spelled out (they actually have to be numerals). i think it turned out reasonably well, considering.
you can click here to listen (it’s an 8tracks link so all of the stuff is gonna be out of order after the first listen…but it’s better than nothing; and you can download using the link below if it doesn’t disappear too soon).

…and remember: 20 dollar bills will never change your life.
lately, i’ve been up late.
lately, i’ve been out late.
lately, i’ve been hazy and half-awake.
this might maybe be what that sounds like in my head.
this is definitely what it sounds like in my headphones.

i woke up yesterday with lfo’s “summertime girls” stuck in my head. and before you do anything else in life, you should probably go watch that video…it’s full of interesting facts like “there was a good man named paul revere” and ”billy shakespeare wrote a whole buncha sonnets.”
anyway, i made this springtime mix as an apology to myself and the universe. at first i just wanted it to be sugar ray’s “fly” 12 times in a row, but i’m saving that for my summer mix.

oh, and that’s a picture i took of my little sister’s dog. what a goob.
I made a mix for Mixtape Mountain. They provided the beautifully disgusting cover art. I hope you like it.
Mixtape Mountain - For Thumper (Coma Cinema Mix)
A great mix from our friend Mat Cothran of Coma Cinema. You will be served a platter of songs steeped in stillness with a side order of dredged out and demonic witch house. A stranger combination has never been concocted. Coma Cinema is also offering their entire discography for free on their website which is in my opinion, too cool for school.
turns out this is awesome.
