Comment:

This is the sixth mix in a projected series of 12 (The other mixes so far: 01-01-01, 02-02-02, 03-03-03, 04-04-04, 05-05-05). Each is made on the date in the title. I'd planned to make all 12 cassette mixes, but my tape deck broke (!!! end of an era )-: ).

The obvious thing to do for this particular date would be to make a devil themed mix (and I'm sure plenty of other people had the same idea - I'm going to check the archives when I'm done posting this one. It's been a while since I've had the chance to check the site). On the other hand, a devil mix was kind of too obvious. Also, the 6th of June was 2 days before my 30th birthday, and I kind of wanted to make a birthday mix. Added to that was the general theme of these date mixes, which is basically to be able to listen to whatever I was listening to every 13 months. A specific theme mix doesn't go along with that.

In the end, I decided to incorporate all three ideas. The mix is primarily a devil-themed mix, with some songs specifically about the devil or hell or something and some just titled in a relevant way. There are also some birthday songs ("Unhappy Birthday" is my favorite birthday song of all time). Finally, there are some songs I couldn't get out of my head ("Justified & Ancient"). It all has a surprising unity, so yay and such.

The cover (and it's been a while since I've actually made covers for my mixes, so yay and such again) is from a tract I got from this woman who was handing them out about a year or so ago. I purposely kept it to use the artwork for this mix. The gold guy's supposed to be the Antichrist.
