Holy SFS y'all! It's hard to imagine how someone could be so deficient at posting to a blog, but I do have a knack for being terrible.
It occurs to me that I have no idea what exactly I'm trying to accomplish with this monthly mix tape thing. .. in other words, i have no criteria upon which I select songs, and no particular direction I'm attempting to guide my listener's(uhh s', hopefully) ear. I guess that my original intention was to post songs that people with similar musical tastes as my own might not have heard.. But then I got to thinking that it'd be pretty neat to be able to look back at a monthly mix that reflected what I was listening to at that point in my life.
The conundrum is that the folk with similar musical tastes as my own will be pretty GD bored by a mix tape whose content is comprised, in large part, of songs they're already familiar with. They would be stoked to learn of some additional PHAT tracks that are low on the radar, however. ON THE FLIP SIDE, the majority of people out there aren't really indie rockers, so pretty much anything is new to their ears...so really, the emphasis should be on quality songs rather than little-know tracks.
I don't have a solution for any of this yet and the reality is that very few people actually care or are impacted in the the the slightest.
