Hi. Given everything that's going on in the world right now, you may find it increasingly difficult to function as normal. That's completely understandable: we live in unprecedented times. The importance of self-care is often downplayed in our culture and in the world at large, but nevertheless, it remains important to take some time for yourself, to help you process current events or to simply recharge, as the news cycles are never-ending and exhausting.
Episode forty of the ongoing RandoMax Radio podcast-slash-mix show isn't going to solve any of our current issues, but it may help bring you back down to Earth when the anxiety causes you to get lost amid your progressively darker thoughts. My hope is that it brings a small moment of peace or clarity for you, which seems silly to ask of a project where I throw sixteen random songs from various musical genres at the wall just to see what sticks. but if even one person is able to successfully leave behind outside stimuli while listening, I count it as a win. The tracklist will be made available at a later date, which may make it easier to slip away into the sonic journey I've put together for you.
