Mix 36:
(26 min, melancholic)

Very good mix. I am pretty sure I made it around 2019.
Drivin’ on 9 is one of the most perfect songs to ever exist.
It’s one of the songs that make me really annoyed with myself and my stupid need to not repeat any songs on my mixes (for the most part). Because every mix would be better if Drivin’ on 9 were on it.

Mix 37:
(34 min, mostly upbeat and optimistic)

The first positive mix I made after a stretch of feeling dejected and hopeless and making only very depressing mixes full of songs about heartbreak. I remember feeling really good about finally getting out of that rut. I also felt quite proud because it’s full of bangers. Not a single mid song (imo)! Kim Smoltz is so perfect. Sadly it’s not available on streaming sites but you can still find it on YouTube.

Mix 38:
(35 min, starting off sad+dreamy but it’s less sad towards the end)

Wow, amazing mix. I hadn’t listened to some of the songs in years and am really glad I rediscovered them now while writing this post.
I stopped actively listening to Amanda Palmer and the Dresden Dolls because of her involvement with Neil Gaiman and the abuse allegations, which is really sad because many of her songs meant so much to me for such a long time. Drowning in the Sound is one of my favorites. It resonates deep inside of me and hits really hard.
