Bringing back the tape in mixtape. I didn't do a great job this year at keeping a steady supply of these going. To make up for it, here's a whole bunch of those things before the year ends. One with your usual standardized 12XU fare. One full of warm and cozy power pop. And as an antidote to the latter, a kinda gruff one, leaning towards the hardcore side of things. So at least i can say i made four mixes this year.
In case you wonder what verspannungskassette means… Keep wondering because it's a pretty much untranslatable play on words.
