That’s my pal and former housemate, Michi from the Typejockeys, in that photo.
Sometimes, when I feel like I’m not being a good friend, I make mixtapes as a token of my appreciation. This is one is for you all. The ridiculously long-awaited Episode 4 of the Nervous Acid Mixcast — now free of my chatter! (But mostly because I don’t have the time to sit down with a microphone.) And now with a presumptuous written introduction!
The tracklist:
- Bombay Bicycle Club “Rinse Me Down”
- School of Seven Bells “ILU” (Phantogram Remix)
- Tired Pony “Dead American Writers”
- Gold Panda “You”
- Built To Spill “I Dim Our Angst in Agony” (The Electronic Anthology Project)
- Underworld “Diamond Jigsaw”
- Stars “Wasted Daylight”
- The Submarines “Brighter Discontent” (Styrofoam Remix)
- Active Child “I’m In Your Church At Night”
- Unai “Blissful Burden”
Total Running Time: 43:43
Everything about this mix feels pretty personal to me — mostly in ways that I can’t quite articulate right now. But I’ve kinda been hammering these ten songs a lot on my commute back and forth to the Upper East Side over the last month, and that’s gotta mean something. Also, the cover photo was taken by my super good friend Sparky, who was just in New York visiting from London. It looks the way I want to feel.
So go listen to or download the entire mixcast from Soundcloud now or just download the mix directly. Enjoy!
