SUPER SWEET
Charismatic Megafauna - a yvynyl mixtape
Back in college, this was the name of my hypothetical band. Never came to pass. But I love the concept behind these two words together: in environmental issues, it’s easier to point out the dying polar bears than to make a case for the disappearing but probably more important tiny bugs n’ stuff. Everyone loves a poster child. The cuter the better. Reminds me not to forget that while folks don’t often follow the less glamorous, the ‘little guys’ are just as important to the ecosystem at large. </metaphor>
This mix seemed to come together more quickly than others, but looking back, I haven’t actually posted in the same interval as previously. I did already play this mix at a party, and I think it went over well - hope it does for you too, friend.
