LINES : a flamgirlant mixtape

Ever notice how something as simple and innocuous as a line influences our behavior?  Lines are drawn, toed, and crossed.  You get in line, hold the line, and put yourself out on the line.  You either stay within the lines or color outside of them.  Sometimes you got someone on the line; sometimes you take yourself off the line.

Here’s a dandy little mix all about making lines or reacting to them (and one tasty instrumental jam for good measure).  Plus it’s spring and time for a new mix, no?

What are you running from? : a flamgirlant mixtape

Recently I posted a track here on my blog saying how it was the perfect October song - creepy and full of lurking darkness.  A follower suggest I make a new themed mixtape and I agreed it was a good idea!

What are you running from? is my latest mixtape full of creepily wonderful tunes just in time for Halloween.  Songs about ghosts and boneyards, devils and death, shadows and terror fill this mix, but you won’t find even a hint of “Monster Mash”.  Now sure, I may have taken a little liberty with this “theme”, but I’m a big fan of coloring outside the lines.  Still rocks as hard as it should.

As always people, show these artists some love.  Buy a record, go see a show, get a Tshirt.  How are they gonna feel the love if you don’t show it?

Hope you hear something new you dig!  Download or head over to 8tracks to give it a listen.  Enjoy!!
