mix: unexplainable stories

Nov 13, 2010 17:16

OKAY. SO. BASICALLY. This has been a long, long time coming; I'm usually pretty regular with the mix updates, but my last one was probably a few months ago, so I knew I'd have to come up with something extra fancy this time.

This, then, is that something fancy - definitely the longest mixtape I have ever attempted compiling at twenty-four songs... and as of this moment, totally my baby because I spent waaay too long figuring out the tracklist (which I'd highly, highly recommend you listen to in order at least once just because I tried so freaking hard to make it flow), and then waaay too long working on the coding.

The original inspiration for this mix was actually Nanowrimo - I told myself that since it was November and therefore Nano time, a lot of writers would be in need for some musical inspiration! Sadly, because I decided to procrastinate terribly when it came to actually putting this together, half of November is already behind us. I'd like to think, however, that the theme of the mix (unexplainable stories) still mostly fits: this started off a mix for storytellers and ended up weaving itself into a story of its own, but I'll let you figure out that one for yourself ;)

Without further ado, then (because I have spent long enough babbling), the actual mix!
