liner notes

I like to read, ride bikes, drink PBR, and be lazy. I have a cat named Henceforth.

Forgive me if my mixes are a bit redundant. I only have about 8 albums on itunes. I deleted my music library on a whim and I've been pretty slow redeveloping it.

The only thing better better than a third-rate breakdown in front of millions of Americans is your crazy-ass mix. Congrats on third!

Wow, one of your mixes is doing swell in the ratings! But remember, Bob Dole did 'swell' in the primaries...

fuck valentines day
1807 points (Level 4) · 2/11/08 9:50pm
i was making a list of songs for my radio show tomorrow. the theme is 'fuck valentines day'. i also haven't made any mixes in a while, so i figured i'd use this as an opportunity to say hi, i'm alive.


also my show streams online if you want to hear this shit LIVE. www.wpts.org for the live stream. my show is tuesdays from 2-4 (eastern). OK LATER.

i passed astronomy

i have been dead to the world due to finals. i had to study extremely hard for a intro level astronomy class that i failed last semester. this seriously is the least difficult class in the world (or UNIVERSE! har, har) and i am celebrating the fact that i passed on the second time around. go me!

let's trip balls and play ball

On June 12, 1970, Dock Ellis, former pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, pitched a no hitter against the Padres while he was tripping on LSD. An excerpt from the Wikipedia article on Ellis:

"Ellis had been visiting friends in Los Angeles and was still high when his girlfriend told him he had to pitch a game against the San Diego Padres that night. Ellis boarded a shuttle flight to the ballpark, took some amphetamines to mitigate the effects of the acid, and then threw a no-hitter despite not being able to feel the ball or clearly see the batter or catcher."

Is that crazy enough for this contest?

In honor of his feat, I present my mix for him. First a song about baseball, then a song about acid, then a song about baseball, then a song about acid, etc, etc.

i like winter, but only because it's not winter yet

Am i the only person who has an extremely romanticised view of winter? You know, right now i'm excited for snowball fights, hot cocoa, cuddling to keep warm. But ask me in two months when I have to trudge around in that shit. I will not like winter.



So here's a mix that celebrates all that I think is good about winter, but only because it's not winter yet.

i told the guy that i've been flirting with for a year that i have a really huge crush on him. it's pretty awkward right now.

this is the mix for him. i'm not going to give it to him. too awkward.

kinda bad, kinda good.

I'm sorry. I've been on here for a year + and haven't created anything. I have been lurking, and enjoying all of your mixes. As an apology, I wanted to created something that we could all dance too. If you guys bring your party hats, I'll buy the booze.

I've only watched the one with Drew Barrymore, then. It was a really cheesy picture, as far as my memory stretches... :)
