Do you like music? Well this one is a call to action. A temporal mix that hopefully reads more timeless than momentary. A sort of “Music Now!” demand in line with the standout Frightened Rabbit track off their Sings The Greys debut. I always seem to end up with a bunch of late 60s tracks, and the ones on this mix seem to be especially central to the overall gesture. Almost as a challenge to myself after having an argument with a friend on the quality of 80s music, and realizing how few products of the 80s make their way onto my mixes; I managed to get two tracks on this one. And, especially considering the recent wave of 80s throwbacks in the hipster indie world, I think if you didn’t check the track tags, you’d never even know. They sound that current. Of a time. But timelessly relevant. The time for us is now.
