Before algorithms decided what everyone should listen to, some of us made mix CDs.
These are mine.
Some were made for people. Some were made for places. Some were made because a particular stretch of life needed a soundtrack and apparently I had opinions about the sequencing.
They’re artifacts now — burned discs, playlists, questionable transitions, and little snapshots of whatever was rattling around in my head at the time.
Listen in order. Shuffle is an act of vandalism.
UNDER THE COVERS
Everybody loves a cover song until someone takes a perfectly respectable pop song, drags it into a dark alley, gives it an industrial beat, and sends it home with new piercings.
This one lives somewhere between goth club, industrial basement, synthpop nostalgia and the occasional moment where you stop and think, wait, that’s THAT song?
