I am acutely aware of the lack of activity here on Donut Age of late, but I’m not prepared to resume even my decidedly irregular posting frequency yet. So in lieu of real content, I will just share some music mixes I’ve created in the past few months.

Power animal

A long playlist (63 tracks) of barn-burners and blood-pumpers. Field tested during hours 11 and 12 of what was supposed to be a 10-hour drive and proven effective at combatting road madness and/or somnolence.

Testing the tensile strength of metaphors

It has become something of a tradition for me to make a Valentine’s Day mix. The 2015 edition explores some of the unlikely and/or tortured metaphors for love, lust and heartbreak.

Fimbulwinter

While Midlantis has not suffered as much as some other regions, this winter’s tenacity has been such as to put one in an apocalyptic frame of mind.

Happy listening.
