Well, I suppose since I only have one friend on the MTC, Ezra, I should make him a mix. I have a few stacked up for him, ready to be mailed out, but have yet to do so.

I don't see Ezra very often, but talk to him on the occasion and have allot in common in regards to our musical taste. He's my un-official 'show buddy' and one of the only people I know who will break into an abandoned building with me and hide from bums.

For this mix, I decided to stick to genres that we both like (mostly post rock instrumentalish stuff, with a bit of idm/electronic) and either things that he introduced me to or I introduced him to.

Ezra, I will mail you those mixes eventually.. I have to make a huge post office run one of these days. And we're going to both the EITS shows.

The cover art fits because we both draw trees. His are much better than mine though.

tracklist

1 Architect : monshine live version
Ezra introduced me to allot of idm/electronic music and made me a copy of this cd, it's a dubbed out, remixed, almost undistinguishable version of "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven, which happens to be my favorite piano piece.

5 Red Sparowes : The Great Leap Forward Poured Down Upon Us One Day Like A Mighty Storm Suddenly And Furiously Blinding Our Senses
Only a truly talented band can have a 20 word title to an instrumental song. My favorite band that I've noticed has jumped up quite a few notches on Ezra's last.fm page. Another band we're going to go see!
