I made this mix quite a while back. I was working as a sports bar DJ at the time and that influence bleeds through here.
Generally, I like to have a fitting reason to post a mix. Something in time, or at least the air, that seems to fit with the music. This one, however, is simply a good time with a little bit of aggression. So if nothing else, let this represent some hopeful anger at the recent republican victories in the American midterm elections.
Yeah. That works. The accompanying picture was taken of two attendees at Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s Rally for Sanity and/or Fear. Considering what it is and where it was taken, I think that actually ties the whole thing together fairly well.
So I dunno. Maybe the Mario Brothers can save us from all these corporatists. Maybe they will be listening to rap music when they do it. That’s ultimately what this mix is about.

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!
