Mix #6: Bad Traffic, Slow Jams

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Walking up a hill in the snow. Streets blocked, even to through-traffic. More than an hour for the bus to see Sondre Lerche 1.4 miles away. JBM was great. Came home, left, had some drinks. Passed out guy on a couch. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. I’m going to think about video games, but I’m not going to play them. Slow jam time.

Mix #4: Hi-Fi Is Like Lo-Fi Too

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Boil water, put tea in the teapot, put the water in the teapot. Sit on the chair, play this music. Wait three minutes, pour the tea. Wait ten minutes for the tea to cool down enough that it does not burn anything. Drink the tea. If there is no chair, sit on a carpet. I realize that some people do not like tea. For example, I do not like tea. I think it’s for hippies. If this is the case, do something else while listening to the music.

  2. Helado Negro – Playas
