Mixtape Monday

This week’s mix is a little bit on the mellow side. I discovered, listening to it last night, that it’s an equally good soundtrack for smoking cigarettes and driving around trying to figure out how to make your life less depressing. I didn’t come up with any answers, but the music helped. This particular mix has a couple of my all-time favorite songs ever, as well as a Guided By Voices motif (GBV, plus a cover by an all-girl GBV tribute band) and a couple of songs inspired by the Twin Peaks-a-thon that my boyfriend and I have been having lately. Oh, and the song that this blog url (and my online persona) is named after. 20 tracks in 60 minutes and 11 seconds. By the way, the Nico song is something of a downer, so if you have any special moves you want to pull out, that would probably be the time.

(If you like the music, you should by the albums. Preferably at a store that could use your money. And, as usual, the songs are only up for seven days until next week’s mix goes up.)
