Comment:

This is a reworking of the Lost Summer mix from my "Box Set" collection, I figured the revamp deserved a full entry. The biggest change is that of pacing---thanks to the wonders of sound editors, and the fact that my distribution method is that of giving the mixes off to my friends as one gigantic mp3 or ogg file---the mix has no silence. Everything either fades from one to the next, or just has a crash start. In some cases the crashes were a bit too harsh, hence the interludes. Each interlude is an instrumental or sound-effect based piece that goes for anywhere from 10 to 50 seconds, mostly from other songs, a few written myself (under the UVoMC moniker, including one that didn't make it to the final tape, a piano and bass duet with a side of distortion.)

The reason why this is the Lost Summer is that the majority of the songs, unlike my previous summer mix, leans very heavily on nostalgia, almost to the point of distraction. Nearly all the songs hit that particular chord in the back of my brain that sends me back over the years. Also to note, the two versions of the Smashing Pumpkins song that bookend the mix are very different, the first being a droning rock number from a bootleg tape circulated about the same time as the Machina I album, the latter being a differently-worded "new wave" (their words) cut of the tune with alternate lyrics.

I tried as best I could to find websites for the independent artists in the mix, but in a couple cases, Google failed me, and for that I apologize. To hear more of Dave Tieff, look up his band Laughing Colors (now disbanded, but the website's still around), and Lorna has a website but it was down and glitchy at the time of this writing. No, I don't have a website for my music. Anymore.

The band Tangerine is the one native to the Pittsburgh region.
