mix cds from my musicology class

something about NeedToBreathe's name and the spelling of it screams xtian to me

IT IS XIAN

thats why i said "witnessing" comment
a couple of the other bands were too
one of the songs said "there is power in the name of jesus" throughout

the one w/ the asterisk

good call btw

also way to only like 3 bands

and one of these band is Scumford & Sons, nagl

CD LEFT BLANK

different versions of 4'33"

he’s singing about sex uuugh he just said “you can keep your socks on” I just actually died gross gross gross horrible die

are you that opposed to socks in bed?

in a word, yes

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.

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.

trayce i think you mean boyd rice

lol yeah damien rice is a slightly indier jack johnson imo

xpost or care a lot about shitty music imo

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.
