This is one of the first REAL mixtapes I made several years ago...(at least as far as how much time was spent selecting tracks and creating artwork, etc.) This is a fake soundtrack to a peculiar movie I thought up.

Synopsis:
Hailed by many critics as THE movie of the decade, The writer and director of "Life Without Pigment" and "Excrement Hunter" brings you "Oh, Mr. Porpoise," which is the brave tale of one man's journey into the unknown. Kaput Raucus (played by Penn Tacc) is an exiled gangster from Pittsburgh who decides to embark on a journey to Alaska to pursue his childhood dream of finding gold. As he arrives, Raucus meets Bull Lee (Tam Woodrowe), who also shares the fantasy of becoming rich. The two head out to the mountain streams, and after many months of hardship, the two finally come out on top and find what they've ventured out for. The two rush back to town to cash in at the local bank headed by Dr. Benway (Gippy Reynulds) who is more than happy to accomodate Raucus and Lee "after a few tests are run". Dr. Benway has other plans though, deciding to hire a Chinese Immigrant Assassin to rid him of his troubles. Soon Kaput and Bull find themselves on yet another journey, a journey to stay alive. What happens next is what makes this tale so life changing and profound.

FAKE REVIEW:
"We Recommend this for anyone who hates themselves." -Interzone Quarterly

This in my mind is still one of my strongest mixes to date. P.S. sorry for not including why I chose these songs....I really can't remember the reasons I had way back then...I've just included what I called the "chapter titles"

best idea ever. The synopsis reminds me of this one Lone Ranger episode called "Ezra Holten's Claim" except only a little.

I LOVE the concept. Just having the chapters as the descriptions allows room for interpretation. And Kaput Raucus is a rad name. I like the tracks I know, and will be inestigating further...
