It’s been a while since I last posted something here, but let me explain before you’re going to hunt me down with pitchforks and torches. You see, I’m currently doing an internship which at the end (hopefully) will bring me a bachelor degree. And one of the things you’re not supposed to do there is writing wannabe memoirs for your personal blog, so there.

Anyway, to make it up to you guys I decided to share something special: a mix tape. Now you might say: ‘Well, what in the blazes is so special about a mix tape, good sir?’ Well first I’d note that you’re talking like you’re from a 1950’s British detective film, and second: I don’t really share my music. Mostly because I usually listen to it when I’m alone, and because I’m occasionally a selfish jerk, especially when it comes to this. So you should be very pleased right now while I’m doing this. You’re welcome.

So, what’s on the mix tape? Well it’s mostly electronic/acoustic alternative music from bands nobody has ever heard of. You have to be into this kind of stuff to like it, so if you’re into upbeat pop music, some R&B Hip Hop ‘thang’ or anything from Glee, don’t bother listening to this. Of course, I can’t just give you a tape here (older people: yes I do know what a tape cassette is, and a vinyl record, I’m not stupid. I used both myself) so I decided to make a playlist here, but make it a legal one by putting it on Spotify (sorry America, for once not available in your area! Take that with your Pandora and Hulu crap. Muha!). And if you really like it, you can also get it on the iTunes store on my Ping profile. And yes, I’m actually using Ping but just for this. I know it’s hopeless for anything else, thank you.

So here it is. I hope you’ll at least tolerate it for what it’s worth…
