so i feel like i went up a level in indie-rockness1 this weekend, because i finally2 finished my first true mixtape3.
i feel so proud. seriously. i had made the tape a few days previously4, but i got all nervous about making an insert for it, because alice's was so good. eventually i managed to dig out some crafts materials and some stuff to decorate it with, and i think i did a fairly good job, for a first attempt at least :) i'm sending it off today, so alice, i hope you enjoy it.
later on i'm going to a friend's sister's wedding reception, so that should be fun. i'll be wearing the shirt, so that should turn a few heads. i got more good comments when i was out last night, so i'm going with the consensus that it's a great shirt, rather than the consensus that it belongs on someone's wall.
1 last night i went out with some friends and was busy explaining how indie rock credibility is won and lost in clubs. things like not dancing unless there's only 2 or 3 people on the dancefloor, and then only to songs that are from the first album by a particular band, or are at least 7 years old, you can't like any song that rhymes "beat" with "feet", how enjoying music is the new disliking music; you have to act like you enjoy the songs you hate because everyone knows you don't, and so on. we're all post-post-modern these days, darling.
2 sorry it took so long.
3 discounting burned cds and a tape i made for tycho that wasn't really a mixtape in the emo sense.
4 and listened to it a heck of a lot.
