Comment:

This mix appeared, in a slightly expurgated form, as "Normal Is A Dryer Setting," a gift for my friend who moved to Sacramento last week. This mix also broke my mix block in a most remarkable way. Since I was creating a mix for a friend, I didn't have any of my regular hangups about repeating my favorite songs on the same tapes over and over again. I could literally mix the tape live, running back and forth to my records to pick out new stuff as other stuff rolled. Later, I could then take the playlist, pare it down to the "new" tracks I picked out, then supplement it with more. It worked better than how I'm describing it, but the point is that it helped me break out of a paradigm; since I already had an established "blueprint" of track listings, it became a simple process of elimination. I'm thinking of taking it a step further and remixing this mix and creating a new "evolution", which could then lead to another mix and another, all based on the same plan. Potentially, this is how all mixes come about, from the inspiration of one arrangement of tracks to another. The change and growth could potentially go on forever...=]'
