Comment:

An offshoot from another mix I was working on. I tried slipping that ridiculously catchy Boris & the Saltlicks song on the other mix, in spite of the fact that it had absolutely no business on there according to the (rather vague) parameters I had set for myself - making it segue wasn't a problem, but it messed with the mood of the rest of the mix, so it had to go. I felt bad about kicking it, though, so I built this modest little home for it. The general plan was to make a more straightforward indie kind of stuff mix once again, since it's been a while, but mostly to just swing myself from one track to the next quite sponataneously (with the occasional interruption in order to write a sentence or two for the methodology section of the term paper I was supposedly writing while compiling this mix - miraculously, I got it finished in the end). I'm not sure what exactly I was thinking when I decided to put Taku Sugimoto on there (something to do with the challenge of trying to get the mix off the ground again, perhaps?), but I'm actually very fond of that part, very soothing. Also, if I had decided to kick it, I would have felt compelled to make a new mix featuring that track and who knows where that would have led to...
