October mix
HERE
Didn't get around to finalizing this until just now (made it three weeks ago).
Been replaying a lot of mid- to late-nineties stuff - songs I didn't own but that were on the radio and part of one's general consciousness at the time. Trying to make a point about how various sounds are making a return IMO: in uncertain times one turns to Lauryn Hill, or something along those lines. I was reading The Beautiful Fall to cheer me up but all it did was give me anxiety dreams about being cut by Hank Paulson at a house party(!). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: high fashion is like one of those BL manga-verses where 95% of everyone is gay. Also, was that photo of Karl Lagerfeld in the one-piece swimsuit w/ plunging neckline really necessary? Really? FUGBACK TO THE FUTURE.
Currently watching this and frothing with rage because they keep cutting away from the good stuff (Robyn DJing BV3 and Erasure! Lindstrom backing Earth Wine and Fire!) to the inadvisable (terrible afterhours DJs, terrible tuneless indie, terribly dressed hipsters posing in front of the Diesel logo wall. When did this logo wall thing at parties start? It feels like it couldn't have been more than two years ago. I try not to be like "I hate contemporary pop culture" because it just comes off old and grumpy but sometimes I hate contemporary pop culture).
