Mix Tape Mania 2019

It's NANOWRIMO time which is extra crazy. Took a break to make this. I made sure all of the songs from this edition came out this year. No old stuff, only new. These were songs that were my fall soudtrack so kinda of music to the moods of the past 3 months. In nor particular order I am however OCD so the first song has to be the first song from it's respective album, the second song the second song from it's respective album you can see where this is going without me going through all ten songs. Listening back to some of these songs and then hunting down the lyrics to say the HEALTH song , it's like woah, that what he is saying, or the Bon Iver song which I took to mean something totally different than the odd political undertones, since I normally hate political music. I mean politics are fake and boring as it is let me hear about your mental break downs, if they are because of politics then you need to get a grip . I prefer to hear emotional expressions since it's easiest for me to process my emotions through music since it provides a very safe and controlled environment to do so. Anyways here you go some of the best songs from 2019.     




Benjamin Tod - "Sorry For the Things"




Bon Iver -"we"



 Lana Del Ray- "Fuck it I Love You"




 Taylor Swift - "the Archer"

Chelsea Wolfe _ " a Preface to Dream Play"

Gothtober - Mix Tape Mania

Time for me Mix Tape Mania. There more mania here than mix tapes , since I do not have a tape present.  Though since this is Gothober I am inclined to make play lists that are darker than the norm. I was asked for song that were both dark and sexy . Sexy is subjective since different things turn people on. There might be more of a sleazy element to how these songs come across. To me that kind of sultry feel is sexy. Lyrically there seems to be some element of deviance in the songs too, much if you no me in real life is expected. There is a great deal of this play list coming from the 90s . The 90s were without a doubt a sexier decade and that is without the internet.



My Dying Bride - " Sear Me" 






Amigo the Devil - "If I'm Crazy"





Christian Death - "the Loving Face"






Dead and Gone" - "Blood From a Ghost" 






Jane's Addiction- "Ted Just Admit It" 






Billy Idol - "Flesh For Fantasy" 






Kayo Dot - "Midnight Mystic Rise and Fall" 






HEALTH - "Strange Days" 






PJ Harvey - "The Garden" 






Mr.Bungle - "Love is a Fist" 

Mix Tape Mania : "Con Drop Edition"

Con drop was held at bay by throwing myself into writing, now I feel it beginning to creep in. The most obvious thing of course to in order to keep it at bay is make a mix. The bulk of these are from albums that came out this year that I am digging which fall into the more quirky darkness of the depressive style of indie rock I like. Hope you enjoy and maybe find a new band or three.  


Crooked Ghost - "Sinew in Red "





  The Pleasure Leftists-_ "the Conversation" 






  Xiu Xiu - " Chocolate Makes You Happy"





Low Dose _ "For Sure"



  Gold "Why Aren't You Laughing"



  Brutus - "Techno"




  Bon Iver - "Hey Mom"








The Faint - "Young & Realistic"




  Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats _ "Exodus"





  The Foreign Resort - "Outnumbered"
