Comment:

This is a mix that I made to commemorate a fabulous evening spent with one of my dearest friends, the lovely miss Nico. Aside from being sexually harassed by carnie workers and hit on by sketchy dudes at Denny's, we agreed that our experiences that night were the literal equivalent of being inside of a really lame emo song. Two best friends at the beginning of summmer driving around with nowhere to go - windows down, Dashboard blaring - finding themselves on a poetic whirlwind adventure, even stumbling upon a carnival. It was lovely. Really. This tape is, in many ways, a watered-down reincarnation of "She Has Spring In Her Step..." the lost wonder of my mixtape collection.
