this, that: the other

so i really have no idea what i’m doing, but i have been listening to a lot of music lately due to my internship at the weekly and my worryingly acute insomnia. while my mental state may be kinda like a tom hanks/meg ryan movie, i’m happy to collect some songs that i’ve recently acquired (almost 24 hours of [discriminately downloaded] new music in the last three days, yikes). it runs the gambit from ethiojazz to gems offa underground hip-hop blog mixtapes to sassy indie-electro pop hipsterish shit to dope people to betty davis. and some other shit too.

i made it a very intentional playlist but of course, i haven’t figured out the technology that would enable me to let you download it in that order. hell, i just uploaded my first zip file yesterday. these are sixteen songs that you want, though. enjoy please.
