Aren’t you ungrateful motherfuckers lucky. You whine and you whine about how I don’t devote enough time or energy to sharing more music, and then you get a music-heavy Top Ten and a Sunday Mix Tape in the span of two days. It’s almost as if I care enough about you to slake your thirst for good music. Or maybe I just like being popular, and I know MP3s are the way to keep you parasites clinging to my virtual host body.
Who knows, some of you idiots who call me “soft lad” are actually going to hear some experimental or electronic pieces as part of tonight’s mix. Isn’t that exciting? The rest of you can hear some classic rock, pop, jazz and soul. Soft lad, huh?
RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks.No theme tonight. This is all very last minute. If you guess what it is — use the comments section — you’ll win a prize. I won’t tell you what the prize is, but I’ll need your mailing address. And you’ll want to invest in some kind of water-based lubricant. The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
