This mixtape is called Halloween 2021

Some context...

The picture up there is my second favorite halloween costume I ever did (first place is when I was a tree in 1989). At the time of this photo I was working in a bar. My favorite part of working at the bar was playing music. I would lug a bulky messenger bag to work with 30-40 cds. Depending on the night there would be just me or 1-2 other people behind the bar. Some co-workers would hand the reigns over to me while other times we would take turns at the 5 disc cd changer in the back. Sometimes people loved what we did and other times people let us know how much they hated our hard work. My favorite thing to do was shift genres just as people were feeling comfortable. It's still my favorite kind of mix.

...neat but what is this page for.

To be honest I'm not really sure. I don't feel any attachment to streaming service playlists. Technology is cool but sometimes I miss the struggle. The difficulty of finding an album, the hassle of stringing songs together and the anxiety of putting something out there that maybe you want someone else to like. At the end of the day I'm making this for myself but it might be neat if someone else wanted to check it out.

I thought I might write some stuff about the songs I've chosen here but I think I'll let the mystery be. Feel free to slide in my DMs if you want to talk nerdy music stuff.

Fuck around and find out. Still friend if you don't.
