"A mix from an imaginary horror movie"
Wow! That's how Beth Ragland describes her newest mixtape for the Psychic Tuesday airwaves ... Sounds exciting! Sounds thrilling, actually!
Perplexed and hungry to know more, I asked Beth what was meant by this mysterious description.
Here's what she told me:
I started to make an Autumn mix in late August when I was in the middle of moving. I noticed that most of the songs were kind of dark then you had asked me to make it more Halloweenish which worked perfectly with how the mix was going anyway. After I had chosen a few songs I noticed that they were all either brand new or had come out in the past year or so. So I decided to keep the whole mix that way.

Then I started to play with the song
order. I started to feel like I was putting together a Soundtrack of
sorts. I started to notice that the order of the tracks started to
create imaginary plot lines for horror/thriller movies in my mind.
The mix starts out with a content kind of mood with a bit of anxiety peeking through, which grows after a few songs. Then there is some point of acceptance of whatever spooky/strange fate that the imaginary character has. This carries on and the anxiety levels of the imaginary character rises and falls. There are moments of relaxation and peace that are shattered by the next track of startling/eerie melodies. The mix ends with a panicked kind of feeling. That feeling that you get when you think the movie is over and then you see that the killer really didn't die and the credits start coming up. I guess that means I'll have to make a sequel next year.

In a dash of random news, Black Marble made an incredible "Ad Hoc Mix" ...
"The mix--which includes tunes from artists like The Flowers and Cabaret Voltaire--should provide a nice, mind-bending boost to the middle of your week."
Dig it!
