God help me if the next two weeks are anything like today was at work. I’m going to be such a miserable piece of shit. I’m trying to think positively about my temporary schedule change, but it’s so depressing. I might as well be one of those cult goons standing on a street corner near the “Dream Center,” handing out lemonade to passing cars. That’s how useless I feel. When I took a short 15-minute break today, I found myself walking across the street for a soda, and I had a vision of myself five hours later crying over a meatball sub and repeating the “$5 footlong” Subway jingle.

RULES for uninitiated noobs: With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week attempts to resume where last week left off with sparse ambient pieces and cool minimalist songwriters and two calypso tunes. The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
