Comment:

1:19:10, for anthony lombardi like the title says. i was waiting to post this until i got word that he had received it in the mail. my goal here was to try and use songs that i love but haven't really used on mixes. it worked out well enough; track 2 and track 20 have definitely appeared on mixes of mine years and years ago but not recently. i'd have to check through my older ones to see about at least track 10 but who knows. a nice mish-mash of upbeat, self-loathing, and beauty here, i hope. we'll see how well it goes over!
title from the fountains of wayne song, which is a gem from their first record. cover art is from a graphic novel called "blankets" by craig thompson.

Indie to the hilt...methinks it'll get Doowad's gander up :). Always a pleasure to see the Haywains feature.

i listened to this last night, & it fulfilled all of my expectations, honestly, & then some. absolutely fantastic, really - i'm a sucker for a short, sweet pop song, & this is loaded with them. lots of old favorites, plenty of new ones, & utterly, addictingly listenable all over. it'd be impossible to name highlights - as the whole thing really works well together - however, old favorites from the mag fields & beat happening could not have made me smile more. thanks a bunch for this, can't wait until you receive yours.
