Mixtape Monday (Barely. Okay, not even. Well, maybe if you’re on the west coast…)

Hi folks.

I started compiling my favorite songs of the year list (an annual tradition that generally takes me at least a week), and between that and the last Jock Jams installment I almost didn’t get to post today’s mix. But it’s still Monday (11:47 PM, but still Monday.) It’s freezing in my apartment and I haven’t had any dinner, hence this mix being a little bit edgy and bleak. Still, the guy you’re nailing is sure to like it. And, if you like any of the songs, you should go out and buy the albums. Except the YACHT album, which is dreadful except for that one song.
