yes, you already know (how this will end)
i know i'm kind of post-happy tonight, but blame the sauza, if anything.
mi hermano, jefe, made an exemplary mix during his time away from school, and i simply cannot get enough of it. so here, immortalized in his absolute glory, is my brother, guest DJ on volume 2 of KPRS, posters of rock stars radio:
highlights:
1. headlights - i love, you laugh. a song i initially wrote off as too emo for my hometown heroes to claim as their own; however, lately, it's been eating at me like some sort of radioactive, heart-devouring monster.
2. roy - the power, not the perception. i've loved this band ever since nick said i should. fact, a lot of the music i love today would never have been mine to hear, had nick not introduced us. i admit, i often consider the boy helplessly insane, but then i realize he's simply another step ahead of the game than i. ROY is fucking incredible, and their album, big city sin & small town redemption took a year or two to find its way into my top five, but now that it's there, it's not going anywhere. their follow-up, who killed john train? is slowly catching up.
3. my bloody valentine - sometimes. from the lost in translation soundtrack. why the fuck have i never heard this song? bravo, little brother -- bravo!! i downloaded their album, loveless, tonight. i'm two steps from downloading that movie, too. fuck me.
NEXT DAY EDIT: i forgot to say that, like our best mixes, jeff's tells a whole story, beginning to end. our hero, this skinny, black sheep boy, journeys across jeff's three-act opus to meet his ultimate end... the beautiful thing that draws us to songs that tell a story (any story, really), is how we can project ourselves into its given circumstances, and blur the lines between the world of the song and the world of our own. with a mix like this, for me, it's really like sitting down to watch a movie -- but you don't have to sit, you're free to move, you're free to live, because your life, your day, is the movie and this is its soundtrack. "using someone else's poetry to say what you want to say..." is an art in itself. put yourself in the world jeff's created, be the hero, cuz i wanna know... where does it take you?
i know it sounds crazy but, fuck off, i am.
love, brov!
