# of Tracks: about 30
Length: 90 minutes
Themes: wispy, barely there recordings ~ many of which are quite short ~ four from my label Brassland ~ three composed by David Lang ~ overall, an almost equal mix of instrumental sound and music with vocals ~ loose, not-always-in-sync choral voices ~ two versions of a great Johnny Thunders song about memory
This is a more-casual-than-usual post,1 and the playlist itself is brief by the standards of this mixtape delivery service, a collection of barely-there songs inspired by the busy-but-nothing-really-happens period between the winter solstice and New Year’s Day. It’s a time which always feels like an interval, not the end of something so much as an interregnum between a year that’s already ended and a fresh one that has stubbornly refused to kick in.
This playlist is just for you paid subscribers. Thanks for the extra level of support you give to this communitarian and curatorial venture of mine.
