Comment:

this is an alternating DJ mix i made with the only person i trust, music-wise, to collaborate with without having to worry about our tastes getting in the way of a cohesive & agreeable progression. i'm very obsessive about my music & my mixes, & pretty much everything in general, so this was a pleasant first experience for me. i handled the evens, she handled the odds. this was also an opportunity for me to have some artists on my mix who i don't normally use or listen to, without it feeling forced; for instance, simon & garfunkel, janis joplin & billie holiday. overall, i'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, & i think it actually flows very well. i had the legendary closer planned out for a while beforehand, & it feels epic & therefore very appropriate. the title is taken from the smiths song.
