Popcorn Noises

Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year

This is another mix tape I made for you. If you caught the last one, you can maybe see the habits I’ve developed over the years with these things. I like to keep them around a dozen songs each—long enough to try out some different things but not so long that it loses a sense of cohesion (I like when mix tapes feel like albums and I try to sequence them as such)—as much for the sake of attention spans as anything else. I like to emphasize bookends, too. First and last songs are important because they tell you what kind of journey you’re going / have been on. Like a joke with a well-timed punchline or a catchy melody, there should be a lyrical sense to the way songs feel in a certain order. That’s my goal, anyway—you listen / think of it however you want.
