"A soundtrack for wandering the sun-scorched wastelands of fallen civilizations"
Subtitled: "A fantasy of deindustrialization"
I've been away in Germany, busy as hell, but now I'm in Israel with nothing but time. So here's a belated mix-tape.
The title is stolen from this Cat and Girl, and this mix tape is dedicated as a tape to take along with you for just that kind of journey. Track listing below, link to playable version here.
Chapter 1:
* Tramway - Maritime City (3:15)
* Ivy - Get Out of the City (3:10)
Chapter 2:
* Pixies - Wave of Mutilations (2:05)
* R.E.M. - Find the River (3:50)
Chapter 3:
* Camper Van Beethoven - Flowers (3:00)
* Talking Heads - (Nothing But) Flowers (5:36)
* XTC - River of Orchids (5:53)
I guess the loose plot line I was going for here is a protagonist having enough of the city (Chapter 1), leaving it and going into the wild (Chapter 2), and then drifting into some sort of psychedelic fantasy of a deindustrialized world where flowers are growing out of the toppled remnants of fallen civilizations (Chapter 3).
P.S.: Cat and Girl has its own muxtape up of songs mentioned or referenced in the comic: http://catandgirl.muxtape.com/
