The Most Widely Practiced American Art Form


In my almost accidental acquaintance with mixtape culture
and it's underground bevy of zealous enthusiasts,
I've come to post another crowded,
homesick, chummy, pensive mixtape track-listing.

With this one,
my focus was to create a soundtrack to
the inevitable bodily plunge into the
dreamscape of deep-sleep.

The mystically unsettling, mind-bendingly beatific,
tumultuously tantalizing and sometimes petrifying habitat
of our rapid-eye-movement penumbra
waterslide to the sub- consciousness.


Here I have experimented with hodge-poding
film scores and arrangements with
gloomy studio gems and other assorted eargasms
to birth a nightmarish odyssey
through circuitous audio astral planes
by a protagonist we can refer to affectionately as
"wildly under-cooked lil mr. angsty pants."


What the hell was I thinking...
Good luck with the torrents, fight the good fight!
