A Quarter-life Crisis from Minnesota – Volume 1 • From the people who brought you the ‘Drunk By Yourself’ series

Jump to Comments

Some days are great. Others aren’t. This mix is for the latter.

You’re in your mid-twenties. You graduated college in four years. You’ve made the right decisions in life, yet you watch people less qualified than you find jobs with salaries five times yours. In fact, you don’t even have a “salary.” You make an hourly wage (that has been frozen for much longer than the lakes outside.) Meanwhile, douche bags continue to meet gorgeous women, while you fail to even meet anyone without a ring, two kids, a newsstand of issues, or all of the above.

Or maybe you’ve been toiling away unnoticed at the same thankless job for 15 years. Maybe you’ve realized life isn’t what you planned.

Whether it’s the car that won’t start, the job you didn’t get, or the empty bed you sleep in; the winter is cold as hell, regardless of the temperature. Instead of listening to some asshole tell you “how great you still have it,” put this in your car and zone out.

This record is for you.

I’ve supplied a link, including front and back cover art. (Those ones are hi-resolution, sized perfectly for a CD jewel case. The pics displayed on the site are small, low-resolution versions. Winzip is needed to unzip the folder.)

Enjoy. (password: winter)
