viktor sjöberg drinking a vertical epic ale and playing around with a few songs, december 2008.

drank this great beer yesterday and recorded a live mix just for fun.
the mix is about 40 minutes long and it's very random at times. i went into it with a few slightly ambitious ideas and those are in there just kind of sliced between other songs that i like. it's a bit sloppy at times and i like that. all live except the intro addition of my favorite philadelphian men's choir, the silver ages, performing a swedish drinking song. also the daryl hall song at the end was faded in later.
it would be great and timely if this mix included a lot of great music from the past 12 months, but it doesn't. as far as i know only the byrne/eno-song and the moodymann track was released this year. oh well. it's what i felt like listening to on a cold december night in 2008.

i'd rather that you'd listen to the mix before reading a tracklist but at the same time i rarely download a mix if i can't browse a tracklist so... it went something like this;
