Mixtape Monday

I compiled the 59 minutes and 59 seconds of this week’s mix differently than I normally do. With the exception of the one Duffy track I’ve been playing all week, almost all of the songs are on the oldish side, and many of them date to the way outre millennial era. I was in a hurry leaving the house today and only had time to grab a wallet full of old mix CDs I made seven or eight years ago. There’s actually four songs on here from a CD-R I made called ‘The Best of 2001 (Jan-March)’.

This week, a song about how it’s the middle of the nineties, my favorite ever Aretha Franklin song, something folky and Welsh, a song from the soundtrack to the most depressing movie ever, and a song by the Eels, the kooky and underrated nineties hitmakers who just put out a best-of a couple of weeks ago.

If you like the songs, buy them properly with some of your hard-earned hooking money.
