Baffling selection on that last one. Isnt Damien Rice some kind of Crowleyian Temple of Golden Dawn satanist? Or am I confusing him with someone else.
― Concubine Tree (Trayce), Wednesday, 6 April 2011 01:15 (thirteen years ago) link
think that one is the worst of all since it makes so plain how insipid the person who made it is — the other bad mixes are just made by people who don't really care much about music.

I'm bumping this thread because I remembered it and this whole stupid class and experience while thinking about Ethan, who made this mix. Taking this class together put us on each other's radar. Later, his band started playing shows at my house, and "tall grindcore guy" turned into "Ethan." He moved to DC a few years ago——we'd always run into him at Deathfest, and crash with him when we played in town or went to a show up there. I found out a few days ago that he was very sick with an aggressive brain tumor; before anyone could process even that news, he died. He was honestly SO like this mix: hilarious and surprising. A relentlessly uplifting and interesting person to be around. So missed.
