Down With The Russians! EP

This mix is about how I’m breaking up with you.

Why It’s Pretentious: I CALLED IT AN EP, YOU GUYS. Also, my friends and I referred to people as countries because we thought it was cool. (Wasn’t.) (I have nothing against real Russians.) (I like their hats.) I know this mix was a pretty jerk move. I knew that back then and I kind of regret it now. But he decided “Feel Good, Inc.” was our song, my high school self howls, grabbing present me by the collar. And he wanted to be a wrestler.

Well played, high school me. Well played.

Bonus confession: “Music When The Lights Go Out” was definitely my AIM away message for like, the week before our break-up. Take a second to think about all the ways that this is totally embarrassing. Here, let me suggest some:

REMEMBER AIM AWAY MESSAGES? REMEMBER AIM? REMEMBER HOW YOU PUT ALL YOUR SECRET EMOTIONS INTO YOUR PROFILE VIA SONG LYRICS BUT LIKE… LOLZ YOU JUST LIKE THAT SONG IT’S NOT THERE FOR ANY SPECIFIC REASON ESPECIALLY NOT BECAUSE I LOVE YOU HAHAHAHA THAT WOULD BE SILLY please love me back

You do. Don’t deny it.

The songs of your youth.

Correction: the songs of your youth that you weren't cool enough to know about.
