Hopefully this mix captures a lot of the feelings I've had this holiday season; I recently moved into my own apartment, so I'm alone most of the time, and trying to cut costs by not running my heat very often; it's quite chilly in my place, so when I'm drinking alone there's a certain feeling I tried to capture. Also been feeling quite lonely, as I'm still somewhat a stranger in a strange land.
There's a certain comfort in listening to sad music; it can help you realize that you're not alone in your feelings, and in fact, some great music can come from it.
For this mix, I took some of my favorites and asked my friends on Facebook for suggestions. I took them all, drank a bunch of bourbon, and decided which ones to use. The first "take" of this mix was much longer and much sadder, but I cut out most of the sad songs, since the goal of this mix is not make you more sad, but to help you feel not so alone on those lonely drinkin' nights. This mix was recorded live with Ableton.
