Leave the Sleeper
This mix is about Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities.
Why It’s Pretentious: I adored Tale of Two Cities because I like really long drawn out stories with overindulgent characterizations and little, if any, distinguishable plot. And also moody misunderstood criminals who sacrifice themselves for the one they love. The title comes from the scene in which Carton tells Lucie that he’s hopelessly in love with her: “Since I knew you… I have had unformed ideas of striving afresh, beginning anew, shaking off sloth and sensuality, and fighting out the abandoned fight. A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing, and leaves the sleeper where he lay down, but I wish you to know that you inspired it.” I mean, SWOON.

This mix is about MERRY CHRISTMAS, ALSO, BABY JESUS, IT’S WARM OUTSIDE.
Why It’s Pretentious: In comparison to past Christmases, it is approximately ONE MILLION DEGREES OUTSIDE. From what I’ve heard, this statement would hold true even if my fams hadn’t moved from Ohio to Northwest Arkansas. I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, indeed. In honor of the hot temps, my annual X-mix is some parts surf rock, some parts twee, some parts Hilary Duff. Try as I might, I could not fit this on a regular-sized tape, so I am sorry for that. I am also sorry because I have a great post queued up about boys with Nazi haircuts, but I feel improper posting it during Hanukkah, so you will all have to wait. ALRIGHT BOYS N GIRLS N ELVES, LET’S GO SURFIN.
