This album is so badass, if you haven’t given it at least 5 listens, you’re blowing it. And if you get it, you’ve definitely given it more than that. Underoath took their band to the next level creatively with Disambiguation—harder, darker, yet more soothing, and even taking the pace down at times. I get completely immersed in this one every time—definitely best with headphones too. I can also work like a beast to this album. AHHH! Pure amazingness.

This is was one of my favorite transitions that I created in my old CD mixtapes from high school. I always had fun playing with transitions (back then I was sorely limited to only transitioning based on time and not actually mixing levels), which later became handy when I began to create mixes for my dance teams.
Edit: soundcloud doesn’t seem to be working with this tumblr theme, so I just uploaded the full file. Should work better anyway, but it’ll limit the size of my future mini mixtapes.
Also, I’m going to refrain from listing the songs included in these mixes, so just push the play button and enjoy :)

Saddest day in my music life on Monday.
Thrice is not breaking up. If nothing has broken us up by now, I doubt anything ever could.

(yes, that’s me getting pulled on stage by Jordan)
Unfortunately, there’s no video on YouTube from when Johnna and I saw them at the Oakland Metro last year! But needless to say, these guys are one of the craziest bands I’ve ever witnessed live (only second to The Dillinger Escape Plan), and I just realized that I’ve seen them live more than any other band.
