Saturday Night Seances

I apologize for the extended absence. I let life get in the way of the mixtape. Unacceptable. Anyway-

A few months ago I asked Facebook friends if they would give me ideas for themes for the blog. The last post "Solar System" was one of those suggestions.


This time its Saturday Night Seances. Thanks Morgan!

What is a Saturday Night Seance you might ask?

sat·ur·day/ˈsatərˌdā/

Adverb: On Saturday: "he made his first appearance Saturday".
Noun: The day of the week before Sunday and following Friday, and (together with Sunday) forming part of the weekend.

(IE The best day)

night/nīt/Noun

1. The period of darkness in each twenty-four hours; the time from sunset to sunrise.

(AKA The best night.)

se·ance/ˈsāˌäns/

Noun: A meeting at which people attempt to make contact with the dead, esp. through the agency of a medium.

(Witchy shit)




This mix is both low, and high. Scary and sexy. Frightening and funny. 2 parts kitsch, 1 part seduction, and 1 part spooky. 

To dance is to commune with the dead, which are all around us. This mix is an invocation to your fondest and most frightening memories: when you dance with the Universe you get it all. 

Try not to get carried away.
