Part eighteen of an array of CD mixes I made for my wife over a long number of years! Read more about it here!
Cover photo? A fucking mess of a dress mannequin that someone slapped a dead star on and that we stumbled upon while in Austin, TX.
I quite like this cover. I find it engaging and well-structured, however it definitely gives off SILENT HILL vibes.
Could use a better font, but I grouse about that every time. Also? Probably should have actually included spaces. Too late now.
Anyway! Highlights! BLACK BOX RECORDER’s The School Song! The severely underheard LACROSSE and I See A Brightness! The delight of CRYSTAL FIGHTERS’ I Love London! Motherfucking PATTI SMITH’s Land which has been such a formative work for me. I cannot impart how much this song means to me! Seeing her perform it at Chicago’s The Vic? Mindblowing. I rocked the fuck out in that piss-smelling venue.
