February 1, 2026·0 comments·zg
I said I’d get back on this in 2026 and I’m coming out the gate strong. Here it is on Apple Music and Spotify.
NEW 2026 JANUARY MIX-TAPE LINER NOTES
- Cool Schmool | Bratmobile: I mean, I got to interview Allison Wolfe this month so, everything (including my hair) is mid-90s again. I love the hopscotch riot grrrl intro.
- PUNK ROCKY | A$AP Rocky: He’s got so much style. More nerds, everywhere in everything.
- Ha Ha Ha Armageddon | The Julie Ruin: The Bikini Kill to Le Tigre bridge was incredible.
- Elitist G.O.A.T. | Sleaford Mods, Albion Harding: Aggro but not aggro, and raw but subtle. Sleaford Mods must be a good hang.
- Observer | Gary Numan: Here in our car, we go bananas when “Observer” comes on.
- Punk Rock Loser | Viagra Boys: Honestly, this is just for the transition - it popped into my head and told me how we were getting from synths to smyrks to IDK and Pusha T, and who was I to argue with that?
- Hot Bars | Felt: Probably my favorite Murs and Slug collaboration track since it came out. The punk kid braggadocio is the best feeling. Who steals rockstars girlfriends?! Murs and Slug do.
- LIFE 4 A LIFE | IDK, Pusha T: I still need to write my post on why I love cowboy novels and Pusha T songs for the same reasons.
- Bang Bien | Nightmares On Wax, Yasiin Bey, Mos Def: Caught this on a Skratch Bastid mix and I really need to catch up on Nightmares on Wax. This whole record is great.
- The Stars Above | The Bandulus: old souls doing old soul.
