Mixtape: Loneliness Mania Blues

Today you can get quick streaming access to like, every single song ever recorded, just by typing its name into Spotify! It’s a horrible deal for everybody but that’s how it is now, haha.

In an era of Total Entertainment Forever, we know that all this abundant ‘content’ comes to lose its appeal; what matters instead is stuff like the curation of content, the sequencing of it (“the digging of unostentatious holes to bury the stuff in”, as Joseph Conrad once put it). So, that just means I’m getting back into mixtapes now!

I’ve made one such mixtape called “Loneliness Mania Blues”, & it has two sides (a ‘Loneliness Side’ and a ‘Mania Side’). I’m gonna hawk it now like I’ve got something to sell, just for fun, I guess on Spotify’s behalf! COME GET THIS MIXTAPE for some reason. It’s got:

  • 20 tracks per side (the same 20 artists on each)
  • People whose guitars want to kill your one parent, & burn your other parent
  • Wolves at the door
  • Shoes
  • A heart-shaped hole where where the hope runs out

The ‘L’ side is for when you’re going down the hole, and the ‘M’ side is for when you’re crawling up the hole. Plz use responsibly!
