Hump day mixtape

Top-down gauzy reverb sunburst eternal present... a couple of q. blurry guiding ideas behind this one: 1) Considering the speed and durability of eg. the International Shoegaze revival, it's weird that it took nearly another decade before people started making Paisley Underground records again; and 2) Why is it always California or Scotland? That does not compute, except it clearly is. I could probably have stuck a Glasvegas track in there in lieu of "Just Like Honey" - or removed that bit altogether, seeing as how Dum Dum Girls make pretty good Mazzy Star albums these days - but it is nice to hear something familiar come up in the rotation. By which I mean every Pains of Being Pure at Heart song ever. Girls is officially no longer chillwave, thank goodness. Honestly pleasantly surprised that the dude did not disappear down a drug-fuelled rabbit hole. On some subconscious level I expect ridic high Pitchfork scores for first albums to be cursed - but they're not.

Have I really posted a mixtape a month for three months? Madness.
