// i started this mix on 10.24.08. two months later i left home. spent the whole year living in a different state. came back home four months ago.

who knows, maybe if i'd finished the mix, it would have worked out there... //




when i finally leave home, i'll leave this mixtape to my family. with a letter, of course, explaining why and where and how.

well, it's a very short selection. but each one of this songs mean a lot to me.

something BIZARRE has just happend. i'm here, writing this description and watching a fine DVD one of my students lent me. big brother and the OLDING company. i swear it says olding on the cover. ¬¬ and then peter albin says, just before playing 'light is faster than sound', some stuff about runaways, and the scandals and the problems and the despair and blablabla. and i don't know why but the subtitles are in chinese ... anyway, i feel like he's talking to me.

and now, 'light is faster than sound'.

and there's a fucking car alarm pissing me off. at 1am.

MUSIC, PLEASE!

2 The Beatles : She's Leaving Home
that should be the first on the mix, maybe. i had decided, many years ago, to leave a cd containing only this track. but i feel like i owe them more than just one song to try to explain. well, they're not gonna understand it anyway.

Well, perhaps leaving your family a two song mix tape will throw them for a curious loop. A succinct mystery of sorts. Is that your intent? Will the letter be equally brief?
