This mix started right after the last one went up around my birthday. It started as a summer mix, songs slowly creeping together on a playlist to eventually make some sort of order. As the summer went on, songs came, songs went. As of a few weeks ago, i came up with the idea of the mix being more of a transitional thing: the first half being more end of summer songs, leading in to a more fall-esque ending. In the end, a text file on my desktop named ‘shitty’ held the list of potential songs and multiple running orders, and from that came this mix. What started conceptually as a 17 song summer mix, three different running orders later, we came to the final 15 version. From the initial conception, 29 different songs came and went. The closest that I came to the summer one was about 15 or 16 songs, and of the songs to make the first running order, 3 songs made it. It finally came together last Thursday in a fury when the first song came to me, and I felt I finally had a mood for said mix set. And now that you’ve read this paragraph of my mumbling, you can download it now!
