Comment:

This, fact fans, is the first tape I've made since discovering ArtoftheMix. Great.
The title comes from the fact that whilst revising for the summer exams of this, yes! the last year of university, I've sat in the downstairs cafe in the Trevithick library listening to innumerable amounts of US indie, and watching the sun go down (and up) from the corner of my eye as I learn the intricate details of Alzheimers Disease and why I can't spell properly. The Parade and West Grove are the names of two roads I have to walk down to get to the cafe from my house.
You may also like to note that the Alkaline Trio and Peaches and Gonzales' piano based electro filth stick out not unlike a sore thumb given how indie or alt. country the rest is. Who cares?
