Tonight is forecasted as our coldest so far. Bundle up. Hold a loved one. Grab a pet.
I’ve finished another mix. This one is unexpectedly seasonal, or perhaps just thematically chilled out. I really intended it to be pretty up-tempo, good for driving and what not. But what started as another attempt at audible caffeine turned into … well … what it is. As such, I’m calling it my official winter mix CD for 2004. (Huzzah! Cue trumpets or dancers or something.) A name? Let’s go with a made-up portmanteau of a phrase like “Winter.Noise.Affective” — this plays off the season, an immediate surprise in the first track and that general malaise that comes with sleet and snow.
So how do you get it? Well, if I run into you in the next week or so, I might give you one. If your name is Reggie and you were one of my groomsmen (that should certainly narrow the field …), you can expect one of these in the mail coming by UPS. Otherwise, you can always politely request one — though I have a horrible history of procrastinating when confronted with a stack of submitted blank CDs. Failing that, you can expect this mix to replace the current tracks in the radio.blog before the first of the year.
