Thank you for making the time to listen to my selections.
A simple relaxing mix. Lots of electronic ambient and simple fuzzy pop music. The little set ends with a more organic epic rock sound from This Will Destroy You.
Click to Stream: I love you, but you’re terrible at…
My wife Coral is reading a book called “Eating Animals” by a gentleman named Jonathan Safran Foer. He was talking about about the joy of the birth of his first child and how it was a second. The quote is so beautiful and poignant.
” We could retell our stories and make them better, more representative or aspirational. Or we could choose to tell different stories. The world itself had another chance.”
Seeing as I tell stories for a living, the quote resonated with me and has rattled around in my brain for days now. I came across a series of great songs in such a short amount of time that i wanted to get a second mix upon here for you and when i play these songs at home, i think about this quote.
As for the title of the mix… it began as a conversation i had with Coral last night on the couch. She said, “I love you, but you’re terrible at frying an egg.” i guess I make bad fried eggs. they don’t look like the pictures in the Jamie Oliver cookbook!
It’ll be a mute point soon… as Jonathan’s book is turning Coral into a vegetarian.
