Wow. And just like that, we have almost reached the 300th mix tape in the history of Swan Fungus. How fitting that it should occur just a handful of days after the 8th anniversary of my first blog post. I’ll try to make next Sunday a big, special installment for you. No, it won’t contain 300 tracks. Maybe it’ll include 50? I guess it depends on my work schedule that day and whether or not I’ve got time/energy enough to forage for that much music. We’ll see.
Of course, Tuesday is Swan Fungus’ 8th birthday party, so I guess I’ll have to drink to mark the occasion. Maybe this year’s State Of The Blog Address will be an audio oration you can listen to rather than a rambling jumble of words that are difficult to read. I feel like this is an important week for the blog. 8 years. 300 mix tapes. What have I got to show for it? Nothing. Nothing at all.
Here’s your mix tape. Your 299th. You’re welcome.
