#The Dusk Of Summer
If you don’t already know, yewknee has been running The 2nd Annual Summer Mix Series over at his site. Since I love making stellar mixes of other people’s music, Casey and I decided to make one ourselves. This here, The Dusk Of Summer, is the product of at least two late nights and much file transferring. And boy, is it worth the wait.
The theme is, obviously, the end of summer. School is starting back (for the less-employed of us), girlfriends are leaving town, and your usually peaceful downtown entertainment district home is about to be flooded with unruly youngins. So burn this to a disc (or, if you are hardcore, record it onto an actual magnetic tape), sit back, and listen. Preferably in your car, in the evening, driving to somewhere you wish you were but know you will from now on only be visiting. But you can make your own applications. This might be the best baby-making music you ever heard. Whatever you do with it, enjoy it.
