Quick Friday Post: My Favorite Tiny Mix Tapes News Headlines

One of my favorite music news/reviews sources is Tiny Mix Tapes, a site that also offers something called the Automated Mix Tapes Generator, a service to site users where you can enter in a theme or topic for a mix tape and they will produce for you the proper tracks. Some good titles of recent memory:

Songs to make my dad shut up about how Iggy Pop was the last great hard rocker

Songs robots listen to when they’re alone

Mixtape to Help my Painfully Reserved Boyfriend Learn How to Dance Alone in his Boxers

I thought I’d miss you, but I really don’t

But while these are frivolous and fun, the news headlines and informative, frivolous, and fun. Here are some of my favorite Tiny Mix Tapes news headlines:

Patti Smith documentary out this September, Me to note in a roundabout way that I (sort of) think Patti Smith is (sort of) the coolest, Me to figuratively mumble this, Wear backwards cap and drag my foot a little like a nervous elementary school kid that breathes heavily through their mouth, You to have to understand all that isn’t said, Patti Smith to inevitably accept my macaroni necklace

Dizzee Rascal adds more dates to tour, Grime beats to inevitably be appropriated by imitators, Me to later cover the tourdates of those imitators and probably say something underhandedly ironic, Me to probably end up alone in a series of transitory moments re-contextualizing personal and professional moments of underhanded irony
