Here’s a mixed cassette tape (psych!) that I made, all on computer for you to give a listen. This is what I’ve been into lately. I think it’s a good mix.
I renumbered the tracks, so hopefully they will show up in your playlist in the correct order.
I just now named it Material Sensations. It’s hard to get a theme-read out of this. A few songs seem to be about the physical appearances, and the inaccessibility, of ladies. As a summer mix, it’s mostly upbeat-ish. My favorite type of upbeat song, though, are ones with minor chord melancholishness running with the beats (featured prominently in Sabali and Both Ends Burning). And I ended things with some coming down songs. One is actually called Coming Down. I like when mixes end in this fashion.

McGriddle Defense is complete! It’s a fanzine I put together. It’s basically fan fiction and other fun stuff, all to some degree revolving around the McGriddle breakfast sandwich. A bunch of friends contributed to it. It has stuff like poetry, a comic, fiction (sci-fi, slash, choose your own adventure, etc), tips, and more! It’s 40 pages.
The Portland Zine Symposium is this weekend at the Smith Memorial Building at PSU. McGriddle Defense will be at a table – the table with Miami, You’ve Got Style, Degrassi Digest, and such. It is FREE. I will also be cruising around with copies, trying to get people to trade me things for it.
I made buttons, too.
If you can’t make it to the Zine Symposium, but want a copy, send me a message with your address, and I will send you one.
For further information, plus a sample of what’s inside, take a look at the McGriddle Defense website.
