description:
this mix started as an assembly of songs with strong buildups and explosions at the end. then it was a mix that was supposed to be one big buildup...start sadly, build up, explode, and descend from the first track to the last. i wanted to represent a coming of age, so to speak - learning something important and continuing on the wiser.
then i started taking out songs and throwing in new ones, so now it's a bit of all three. it's tightened to 10 tracks as it's supposed to be a sudden realization type of event, which it only kind of is now.
despite the scattered description i think this is one of my favorite mixes i've made so far, so i'm interested in seeing how people respond.

Track Description:
opening completely devastated, and at a seemingly new low. this song expresses that numb feeling that follows a devastating event. it then builds up to distorted jabs which evoke a kind of angry release. SHOW LESS

Track 5 from They Might Be Giants

Track Description:
this is a slight detour, but to me it fits. it still depicts a personal quarrel, but from external/administrative forces - the man keeping you down, in other words. it sort of takes us from sad to sad and paranoid. SHOW LESS

Track 12 from Analog Vs. Digital
Length: 00:07:47 Year: 2001 |

|
Track Description:
a different more subtle kind of buildup. the texture of the song gets richer and stronger from beginning to end. part of it is due to the way the horns repeat over and over slowly, almost creating a drone. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
descending into madness, the music grows more chaotic. this was supposed to represent the loss of meaning. it makes me think of falling asleep into a bad dream. i think this track carries the mix forward very nicely. SHOW LESS

Track 6 from Spiderland
Length: 00:07:39 Year: 1991 |
|
|
Track Description:
the opening of this song is like waking up from an exhausting dream, realizing that it's not as cataclysmic as you felt, but it's still not quite right as the guitars create an ominous mood through the body of the song. as you take responsibility for your own feelings, you gain a sense of independence. it's almost like a rebirth. you're still you, but with a new understanding of where you stand. the end of this song is where the music peaks. it represents, for this mix, gaining self control.

Track Description:
more reflective and composed than the slint song. there's something about tmv's slower acoustic tracks that i really enjoy. i think this song is a great counterpoint to the rest of de-loused. for the same reason it makes a nice closing statement for the mixtape. SHOW LESS
