one day i broke up with my girlfriend. three days later, we were back into it (snafu). this is the mix i made for her, trying to explain why i am the way i am, and why i do the things i do. i concede it's not technically a good mixtape...repeat artists, clumpiness, and so on. but as a part of the collective, i think it's only right that i put my real life mixes out there. stay tuned for a blisteringly cold iceheap of a mixtape, though. for serial.
tracklist
| 1 | Cunninlynguists : Interlude, Pt. 2 |
|
this is just a thought-provoking opener. slightly muffled standard beat with a retrospective melody, and some singing sample in another language that just sounds beautiful and sad. (check out the cunninlynguists)

tom waits and bright eyes should never be on the same tape. other than that, it's pretty okay.

Not that I don't think this mixtape conveyed the things you were feeling, and not that this is any of my business, but you did follow that up with some sort of verbal communication right? Made sure that your point had gotten across?
