I blame society for this one, but I should just blame myself. It's just a fuckin' track list for a podcast, right? Slap some songs together, try to tell some jokes, forget correct details, done. Go stare at the sky some more. I hate dancing in public when punk or old soul's not being played. I feel like a traitor. To myself—to my thirteen-year-old self; to my forty-one-year-old self—if I feign excitement when I don't have it. (Sliding scales change depending on booze and the, “Okay, she's my wife. One dance. Don't be a doosh” clause I imaginarily signed with my wedding vows.) I'm merely on a DIY punk guard post over the sea of digital shit that's lapping into our brains, attention, and wallets. But, in my mind, these songs have to “fit.” Not “fit” like anything's for sale. Not like there are any points to gain, credibility to build or lose. They all have to buckle together in my mystery of a brain, like an exciting professional wrestling match, like chapters to a good novel, like ingredients of a burrito, like the set list you want to hear when you're on your way to see your favorite band… -Todd Taylor To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."
