The rapture is supposed to happen tomorrow, so say some fringe Christians who have managed to bring this idea to mainstream America (and possibly beyond). If it actually does happen, and 144,000 of God’s closest friends and lovers get a free ride to heaven, then I think this would be a fitting soundtrack. For them in their ascent, of course, but also those of us who may be left behind…until we start killing each other for drugs or whatever.
This was actually something of a commissioned mix. Aaron Shugart-Brown had asked me to make a mix of instrumental, easy going music for his shop, Unarmed Merchants, in Knoxville. It’s not totally instrumental, but I feel all vocals here are light and well served enough to not get in the way.
If nothing else, you might be able to meditate or something.

I was on my way to being on my way to New York City and beyond, but had to come back home for things forgotten. Seeing as how I am only one of a somewhat large number of people making travels here at the end of May, I would not feel right about not sharing this mix before I go. This mix was recently submitted for the Tapeworms April theme, “Geography.”
Take it with you for your travels or take it in while wishing you were traveling.
I take the order of the songs as though beginning a journey in Tennessee, trekking the USA, then down to South America. From there, taking a boat up to Florida and then flying over to Europe and heading East.
On a simple side note, while in NYC, I’ll be meeting up with writer/musician/ photographer/former resident of El Studio, Matt Zingg. Without knowing him, Smart Went Crazy may have never been on this mix. All the more fitting.
Happy trails!
