the Quiet times, vol. 97

[thequiettimes]

We've got two more podcasts coming after this one (by now you've probably guessed the magical ending number), but for this one, we've gone ahead and embraced the inevitable end of our transmission. The initial idea of all break-up songs proved to be just too devastating, so we kept the best and filled the space with lots of deep instrumental tracks that we'd always hoped to use. The end result turned out pretty good, we think, with more peaks and valleys than a very flat and gentle rollercoaster. And, now that the difficult conversations about "us" are out of the way, we can gently see through you through the rest of the year with warmer and fuzzier sentiments. We'll be back in just a couple of weeks with those last 'casts, but for now, make some cocoa, wrap up in your favorite blanket, put on your headphones, and prepare to get bittersweet.
