Mix I2: During the Drive, We Were Both Getting Hooked

It has been a while since I've posted a mix at Barrytown. Yeah. This post is inspired by an article at Glorious Noise, just about the best online music rag there is. Doesn't hurt that it was started, is run, in part by a friend. Heh. Anyway, the article is about iTunes' new feature, Genius. Interesting stuff. Here's a Genius created mix, edited for the 90 minutes a tape would take. The truly questionable "Possum Kingdom" was the jump point.

Mix XI: "Just Something I Want You to Know" (Obsessive ADHD Mix)

It has been a while since I've posted a mix at Barrytown, so I thought I would start back slowly, with one that I'd been kicking around my head for a bit.

A concept, an idea, a conceit: The least you can do and still show the most that you have. Zen, but with a generous helping of stupid.

You'll forgive the hubris, no? Sure you will, you always have in the past. Hopefully, I can illustrate the very personal nature mixes can have with this one. But if not, with mix tapes, a lesson in abject failure is always just. Around. The. Corner...
