The act of being forthcoming. A mix of songs I planned to make into other mixes more specific to their genre, but ended up pulling together like this. These are mostly reflective of times in the last several years (I made this in 2016) and was looking ahead in my life as to what would come next. I remember first hearing Mojave Three on the Shaving the Pavement tour with Scheer and Lush, having no clue it was the guy from Slowdive. Noir Desir is a great French band I wouldn't have come across without the CDr swapping with a former Coil email list member that I befriended - this is nowhere close to what I imagined a Coil fan would be into, but it hit home with me and my minor understanding of the French language. I came across the Abner Jay track via a spotify playlist from Marissa Nadler. That Icelandic operatic cover of Bjork is breathtaking - trust me its worth seeking out the rest of the album this is from. I'm elated to hear Sunny Day Real Estate is reunited for tours this year, I may just have to drag my old shoegaze/emo self out for that one. Of course, ending this with some more oddities, such as Fall of Saigon which is a fantastic one off project from Pascal Comelade, and of course a Nancy Sinatra cover by Coil. That is always a classic.
