With that in mind, for a while I've wanted to invite one of my musically-inclined friends to curate a guest mixtape. The catch is that I wanted to use my (current) mux rules: 12 tracks, no repeated bands, a TRT somewhere around 45 minutes, and, most importantly, some killer music in a great sequence.
Wait no more, dear reader(s). My Minneapolis-based friend, JET - who clearly possesses better initials than everyone and who is an excellent sparring partner vis a vis music - decided to tackle this challenge. The result is Tapes by JET, which I hope to make a regular feature; she picks the tracks and sequence, and I just mix it together for a very JDK-free experience. It's a nice counterpoint to my own far-flung musical tastes. Case in point, JET has no fear to include a Taylor Swift song on this first mix, whereas I pre-emptively apologize anytime I feature a song sung by a girl.
Enough from me. Download Tapes by JET Vol. 001: Goldfinch. She also makes bitchin' album art. (Did I just say "bitchin'"?)
