by osmosis

This mixtape is about two months old, and since music now moves at the speed of light - these songs are almost classic rock by now.  For some reason it never felt quite ready, but it's now or never so I'm calling this The Lost Mixtape.  It was originally going to be called "Schizophrenia is taking me home" after a great Sonic Youth song, because it felt really scattered, but we'll stick with the new title.

Same deal - go here to download the mix.  I also have it up at Sound Cloud, which allows you to repost the recording and stream directly from there (if anyone is so inclined).

tracklist after the jump…
