Recently, I've been thinking a lot about the role that music plays in our lives, and how it can cure the worst heartbreak, or hurt like hell, or evoke a myriad of emotions, or diminish/amplify a particular experience, or provide sanctuary for when it feels like the world is out to get you, or be the catalyst for a revolution.

Music can be a lot of different things to a group of likeminded people, or be the bond between people that couldn't be more different. Music also goes the distance of bringing the world closer together, does the work to remove barriers; need they be political, social, personal, or cultural, and generally seems to be something that all humans agree-on. A good song is a good song, and (pun intended) resonates with us, on a level that is fundamental, raw, and unbridled.

For me, when I'm looking through my music library, I often associate people with certain songs, as if to say , this song has "so-and-so's" personality, charisma, and/or charm, and I find that it's often a static association, meaning, over time, "so-and-so" will always have a place in my mind, body, and soul when I hear *that* song. I'm curious if you share in the same experience? What are the ways that you associate music to people, or places, and/or things in your life?

I now understand why there's a song called "music is the answer"... because, for me, in this place, right here, right now, it really is. I hope you enjoy this set, it was fun to make it.

Happy Holidays everyone!

SoundCloud doesn't use what is called "keydown or keyup events" to save what you're typing into the description field, or any other field for that matter. While this is old school web tech, it's actually quite cool, because it's not capturing your inner most thoughts while you're bold enough to type them into the field in the first place.

However, this is also a bad thing, simply for the fact that when you really want *stuff* to be saved, well, it isn't... like when it's a really eloquent diatribe about getting out into the brave new world after months of captivity... I digress...

Whatevs, you be the judge... what do you like?

{a] keydown/keyup events that save every keystroke you type to the mother ship?

[b] old school "it's not safe until I click "Submit"?

[c] What's this thing you call a "keyboard", and "key-up/-down", what? Read a book!

[d] Dude, stop running your mouth and get back to the beats!

[e] Let's take a moment to pontificate on the rationalization of the hypothizoid.

[f] why does the title have (summer) watermelon in it? I'm at a loss.

Much love and thank you so much for listening to this mix, and for reading my nonsense above, if you even got to this point to read *this* now. If you did, send me a comment... If you didn't, send me a comment! Do you see where this is going? Good! Repost it then! Cheers, to your health!
