Fifty-Eight (Side One: Gaileo, Gaileo!)
This mix is about how it’s sunny outside and I don’t want to be in school anymore.
Why It’s Pretentious: Pretty fitting for the first day of spring break, eh? This mix is classic me: upbeat indie rock mix with a title that DOESN’T MAKE SENSE AT ALL. Takes me back to the days when Vampire Weekend was God’s gift to music blogs and I was trying to decide whether Owen Pallett or Patrick Wolf should be my gay boyfriend. (Owen Pallett.) Put on your Ray-Bans and pop it in your car if you’re driving away from the dirty Nash. If you’re sticking around, I’ll be at The End tonight for Freakin’ Weekend. Come say hello.

Untitled (or, Mischief Managed)
This mix is about Harry Potter, the greatest seven-book trilogy ever written.
Why It’s Pretentious: I know, big shock, the girl who named her house Hogwarts is obsessed with Harry Potter and made a mix about the series. I lovingly crafted this in preparation for the seventh book— though, at 7 songs and 25 minutes, it wasn’t even close to being long enough to soundtrack my 12-6 am rapid-fire absorption of Deathly Hallows. Obviously, being high school, I chose remember the saddest and most angsty moments possible so get ready to cry your eyeballs out like those credits are already rolling. (I also worked in Morrissey because do you not know me at all?)
TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT. RAISE YER WANDS UP, WIZARDS. MISCHIEF MANAGED.
