There’s a storm coming, but you aren’t afraid. Your body is a fortress of flesh, and while it may leak water from the ceilings, the physical world cannot touch your spiritual temple. Corrupt souls surround us, poisoned by their pride and confined by their cowardice. But we feel content in knowing that this outcome is unavoidable, that we deserve whatever comes next be it good or bad. So we sip our drinks and calmly await the violent clouds approaching. Acceptance. Rest easy knowing the seeds of hope we planted deep in the earth are safe, preserving the promise of reconstruction once this all has passed.

Get in touch with your inner child. Play in the dirt and giggle at clowns. Throw a tantrum and scream at your parents. Revel in angst and jive in pop appeal. All the colors of the rainbow taste delicious as shit and if you are too fussy to appreciate a single flavor on our Earth’s eclectic platter you are only cheating yourself. Open your damn mind by any means necessary and you will realize the answers to all of life’s biggest questions are right in front of you.

If you’re like me, you are probably starting to feel the fatigue of all this global chaos. If the doom and gloom has got you feeling down, I got just the solution for you: Bend over and take this fistful of metal right up your sorry arse! Feel the power and the glory rush through your system like a boiling enema until it spikes your heart and explodes out of your ears like the guy on the cover of Doomsday News II. Flush your body of the negativity and behold the shining strength that remains within. Pull yourself up from your bootstraps and proceed to stomp the volatile excrement that has evacuated your system. You are a proud motherfucker and shall triumph over all!

You are rejuvenated, and you can thank me later.

Banish the darkness in your heart with a case of lite beer and some fuckin grooves. Squeeze into your tightest pants and hump the couch while you blast this party, which careens from punk to dirty metal to sleazy AoR. Finishes of with some of the most uplifting shit.

A day with nothing to do, so you go to a vacant lot to watch grass grow through cracks in the asphalt. You get that feeling of wondering about all the cool or uncool stuff that maybe went on or still goes on in this little-visited, crumbling ruin. People sleeping rough, or doing drugs, maybe teenagers partying. No one's here now, but it feels like just maybe life could be as cool and mysterious as the movies.

A weird, meandering trip to some strange places. You're excited to start out, but things get fouled up fast and by the end of Side A you're terribly confused to have ended up on popular radio circa 2009. Side B lets you know that the problem was that the handful of mushrooms you choked down 40 minutes ago was maybe a little too much, and now you're in a kind-of-pretty-kind-of-frightening woodland trip, like that freaky scene in The Bear and you're the baby bear.

Another bright sunshine, positive mood tape. Unselfconscious corniness as you drive around and eat hot dogs and ice cream. Your shorts are real short, and it is all hanging out.

A weird party that moves from drinking in the graveyard to smoking random shit in a dark basement with people who you don’t know too well, but you want to impress because they're extremely cool and give off Bowie-in-The-Hunger vibes.

It's the best day of your fucking life - it's sunny, and you're with your very best friends doing fun shit all day long. You've got serotonin and dopamine pouring out of your butthole.

This tape is about that feeling of enjoying being sad. Like, maybe you're thinking about the past and romanticizing it, or imagining how other people are probably doing really fun shit and you're by yourself. But you're enjoying the feeling also, so you're not really sad, It's kinda more like wistful and you feel a little superior because enjoying darker moods seems like some shit only smart cool motherfuckers can do.

Sounds like slowly sobering up over the course of a long walk home in the dark. Brain fuzz, emotional ups and downs, and being alone with your thoughts. Big brain mix of genres too, not for casuals.
