AIRWAVES FROM TAN-----PSYCH2: SLEEP0VER

This mix is about teenagers. For me it evokes spending a bunch of nights in a row at your best friend's house and lying in bed all day eating pop tarts and watching the SciFi channel, getting phone calls on the landline from guys in your class and maybe trying to get permission to meet them at the movies. I remember once my 8th-grade bestie's chainsmoking parents asked me to please wear more clothes around their house and I felt really weird about it. But there were great parts too, like feeling so comfortable in someone else's home that you could sit and read Stephen King's The Moving Finger for the tenth time while your bff painted her toenails without feeling like you were being a rude guest. Not to mention getting to know another family's objects and smells and pets, and how to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night without stubbing your toes.

(All this sounds a little desperate in retrospect. I JUST REALLY WANTED A SISTER, YOU GUYS.)

In this mix is UB40; a long clip of Angela Chase, because she is forever The teenager; a moment of Bach's "Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor"; Cassie a few times; a clip of some chicks murmuring soothing nothings (probably somethings) from MRC051; Eroc; Mulder & Scully; Kurt Cobain on locating other Cobains the world over; Bartok's "Roman Kolinda Dallamok" (all those piano lessons our parents paid for); Jodie Foster seducing a lesbian couple in 1980's Carny; 2009's smash "Hyph Mngo" by electro-dub DJ Joy Orbison; and obviously Kate Bush on weird mom-daughter dynamics.
