This mix is something I might blast while driving to Portland later this week. I made this mix because I was compelled to make it.

The cover art is by Basquiat and it's a hodgepodge like this mixtape.

I uploaded it for any curious enough to give it a listen:

Track 0 from Suicide
Length: 00:03:49
Year: 1977
Track Description:
It was 3AM in a Chicago neighborhood. I was staying in a friend's apartment and I was jetlagged and depressed. Angie suggested I check out this band she found out about the other day. So, I heard Suicide's first album that night and just sat there taking in my new surroundings and this surreal music.. An interesting avenue of post punk or no wave or whatever.

Year: 1994
Track Description:
Slowdive is probably my favorite dreampop or shoegaze band. I admit that I have a couple of their albums framed. There's power in the pedals, power to wash my tears clean. OK, that's a bit much, but I do love the hell out of that short-lived band.

I like this song because it's so tender and it evokes memories of early-morning efforts of trying to remember where you live in relation to where you are and trying to sort out just what exactly that the previous night meant.

Track 0 from Colossal Youth
Length: 00:03:31
Year: 1979
Track Description:
I finished reading Simon Reynold's great book on post punk, Rip It Up and Start Again, and sought out this band's album. It's quiet, lacks drums, is very simple, and is extraordinarily atmospheric. It just feels precious, like a love letter from some long lost and highly confused emotional past.
