Making My Way Back to Mixtapes

I have busy preparing for the San Francisco Mixtape Society event, even though it isn’t until next year. The theme will be Cities vs. Towns.

I have a few playlists in iTunes which are still in the song dump phase. This means that I add songs to them whenever I come across a tune that is relevant to the theme I’m hoping to create. These themes include: cats, songs prominently featuring stringed instruments, clothes, awkward years and New York City.

But it’s been a while since the last mixtape I made for fun and for myself, rather than for one of my clients: directors, producers, people who make ads, people who make films.

As you can see from the track listing below, my last mixtape didn’t really have a theme. If I don’t make another mixtape between now and the party in January, at least I know that my next one will.
