Indefinitely
This mix is about a relationship, from the chase to the wedding.
Why It’s Pretentious: It starts with some latin jazz-inspired pop, hits some garage rock and Smiths/Coldplay covers, and then ends with some big band. What about that is not pretentious? Actually, it technically starts off with a drunken ramble by Frank Sinatra because… I’m not sure. Also, the title makes no sense whatsoever. I’ll love you… indefinitely? You know, for the foreseeable future, but who knows what’ll happen? Real romantic, high school self… Happy Valentine’s weekend from 2005.

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.

Hot Pink Delorean
This mix is about literally nothing.
Why It’s Pretentious: Basically, I just liked the DJ trio Hot Pink Delorean and wanted to make a mix inspired by their name… Okay, mostly I wanted to steal their name for something and make a mix I could groove to. In true pretentious fashion, I thought about the songs’ colors and none of them are hot pink. (In order, they are lime green/purple/black, orange, red-orange, green, lime green/blue, orange/lime green, light blue/white.) Oh, the irony that you don’t understand.

Thornton in My Side
This mix is about god I hate you why are you so annoying.
Why It’s Pretentious: So in high school, there was this girl whose name rhymed with Shmate Smornton who I hated more than anything in the world because she was antagonistic for no apparent reason. Also, she kept undermining my authority as Sophomore Class President. It’s like, you’re a senior, get over yourself. AMIRITE? (Yes.) If you hated anyone in 2006 but also knew you were way cooler than them, these were your jams. Shmate Smornton, you done been PUNished.
