We won't be back until Spring


Another month, another mixtape, another set of silly love songs.

I've been running my mp3 player on random shuffle the past few weeks and I ended up jotting down the songs I really liked, and they were mostly the ones in this mix, although not in this order. It's another strange slow pace to this one - a whole novel rather than a short story, or maybe a film, but it's all there. The setting feels East-coast American and quite early 1970s.

One day I should write this, but for now you can listen to the soundtrack.

As usual, there's a few choice mp3s, and
you can download the whole piece below
if you'd like to do that.

Interesting selection. I love that Tim Buckley track- i used to play that LP it came from to death when i first bought it. Happy Sad?
