Comment:

...and 22 days later, it comes. Mix #42, a demolition. Inspired in part by Douglas Adams', you guessed it, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But just in part...there some other unrelated themes I mixed in to form a semi-cohesive storyline. Also, it's not nearly as funny as the book. Or even the movie. But I had the mix it in, y'know, cuz it's my 42nd mix and whatnot. The basic idea: boy meets girl, boy immediately loses girl, supposedly lesser life forms repeatedly try to warn boy and his fellow humans of impending doom, said doom occurs, load of alienation and angst plays out, an odd sort of salvation comes about, alienation and angst continue nonetheless, boy realizes the joys of being sullen and unlikable, boy drops these joys when told of a plan to reverse the aforementioned doom, boy finds out to his dismay that the plan has been trashed, boy is named 6 billionth customer and receives a complimentary lobotomy. That sort of thing. Like the English Patient with more dolphins.

Cool mix full of great choices (and with a great inspiration)! Love the Wilco, Bjork, Secret Machines, Radiohead, Belle & Sebastian, Pixies, and especially Dismemberment Plan and solo Travis Morrison. Most tradeworthy.
