DOWNLOAD | THE NERVOUS ACID MIXCAST Volume 1, Episode 2, February 2010
I was recording the voiceovers this morning when it hit me: Episode 2 is always better than Episode 1 because this means you’re on a roll. Like, the Nervous Acid Mixcast is actually a “thing.” This month’s episode is pretty Eurocentric in retrospect, and I’m not sure if that means Americans bored me in February or if I just miss traveling and I’m acting out through music. Whatever the case, there are at least a few songs on this mix that I suspect may reappear during a year-end wrap-up. It was a really great month for music.
So download the entire show here; the tracklist follows. You can catch up with previous episodes here. Spread the word and enjoy!
