You Will Know Us By The Trail of Receipts We Leave Behind

The sky makes no promises this morning. The ground is wet. I'd hoped to get a ride in this morning. The first of this year. The first ride outdoors, I should say. We're on the 13th straight day of rain in the Bay Area. Indoor cycling, unlike the treadmill, is endurance boredom.

So we make lists instead.

Resolve 0208
1) Beyond the Raging Waves, DJ Krush feat. Shin'ichi Kinoshita
2) Fergalicious, Fergie

7) Ruff-Neck Jam, DJ Krush
8) Sacred Channel, Tabla Beat Science
9) Big Bamboo, Dub Champions
10) Leaving, Slouch

Monthly 0208
The monthly mixes are a bit different. First, they're intended to be portable, or burned to disc. And since audio on a regular disc is 80 minutes, that's about the total playing time. Second, the song order is important. The mix, relating one song to the next, can be as important as the songs themselves. Third, there's no theme behind the song choice other being recent faves. Lastly, it's been a while since I did one of these, so there's catching up to do. ... Okay, I'll ease off the High-Fidelity/Love-Is-A-Mixtape trip now.
