This is what played on my trip down to camp on Friday. That's a photo of the sunset as I drove. I realize these mixes are not for everybody, they're probably for nobody, but sometimes in my quests I come across a random mix that defies genre bounds, tracks that could never find any any correlation, a playlist no human could compile, all part of my neverending quest to stockpile my library with only the greatest tunes, and sometimes, on the rarest occasion you get a gem like this one. No stars, no #1 hit singles, just quality brimming with cohesion. Space in time perfectly soundtracked like a Paul Thomas Anderson film, taking you back to a moment or pushing you over another, with surprises round every corner...

Go about your day.
