Comment:

the second installment in what is turning out to be a series of mixes for the same boy. we're trying really hard to remain best friends, with all sorts of complications. the biggest stumbling block perhaps being the fact that we've both admitted to still being in love with each other & wanting to give things another go, but being prevented from doing so because of his hesitations about it not being "in our best interests". so instead i make mixtapes in an attempt to explain things to him ninety minutes at a time (even though he always hated most of my music anyway).

i'm not sure someone who hates this music is worth pursuing, but what do i know -- this is chock full of terrific stuff that's poignant, heartbreaking & comforting

seeing as i never have the opportunity to make these kinds of mixes, i appreciate when someone else can do them and do them well. both sad and fantastic, and kudos for the go sailor track. don't see that too much these days.

What's going on wingy? :D nice mix.. seems like the older I get the more out of touch I get with newer music. I still do some mixes now and then..
