Global shut in. Whatever continent you read this on, run through a translation application, or not, you are shut in. How many people get global events in their lifetime? Truly global. Hard to know, hard to say anything. The idea of reissue culture wrecking the somehow idealized perfect state of music seems like an arrogant joke at this juncture. I originally wrote out a year end list and made this mix as a companion. Things got delayed, for pandemic and non pandemic reasons. I figured it would be fun to look at the much more innocent time of four months. Here’s the year end list for 2019 with a slightly altered intro. All the lives shows seem much more precious now. Excited to see live music again, that shit is hard.
