Channeling Proust

We’ve been doing our best to channel the spirit of Proust this week. As this wretched thrashing of the spirit continues, we spend much contemplative time in bed, writing notes and letters into our laptop, to be printed at a later date when we’re all well enough to ask someone to go to the post office and buy stamps for us, for our supply has run quite dry. In between bouts of coughing and sips of medicinal bourbon, we have found time to craft 3—THREE!—new music mixes. In lieu of our usual repartee, we offer up the track listing on this song cycle, and if you scroll all the way down, perhaps a little surprise. [Private note to Abs: Forget the Pet Shop Boys! They obviously have a lock on their “Spanish.” Observe a subtle change to #2.]
