Mixtape: June MMX

[hack in one of the stairwells at MIT]

I have to warn you...my taste in mixtapes has always been a little odd. As in, really odd.

I'm not one of those cool music geeks who knows his stuff like the back of his hand, nor one of those great curators of legit music that actually kind of goes together, unlike mine, which can be likened to oxidized guacamole that is that lovely brown color on top. Gross looking in a superficial sense (Jim Hensen? And wait...is that part of an opera in Mandarin? And then there's Royksopp? You've gotta be kidding me!) but if stick with them...they make some sort of sense. Or something. Or they only make sense to me.

Regardless, they're made with lots of love.
