Do Remember! The Golden Era of NYC Hip-Hop Mixtapes is the first comprehensive deep-dive oral and visual history of the golden era of hip-hop mixtape culture in New York City. From street corners to corner offices, mixtapes made a huge impact on the music industry and hip-hop culture in New York City during the late ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s. Mixtapes helped dictate what rap songs were hot in the clubs, on the radio, and in the streets, and they influenced which artists would get signed to record deals. Mixtapes also showcased which DJs had the most skills and creativity, and who had the juice to pull the illest exclusives. Do Remember! combines the best elements of oral and pictorial histories to explore the evolution of mixtapes as a crucial component of New York City hip-hop culture. Featuring a comprehensive collection of rare mixtape cover art, never-before-seen images, vintage tracklists, and exclusive interviews with Kid Capri, Brucie B, Mister Cee, Ron G, S&S, Doo Wop, Green Lantern, Lord Finesse, Clark Kent, Bobbito, Cipha Sounds, Havoc of Mobb Deep, the late, great DJ Kay Slay, and many more, including a special foreword by Fab 5 Freddy, Do Remember! captures an era in New York City that went on to inspire future hip-hop generations all over the world.

The Strange Mixtape by @deadcanons. MCU, 64k, casebound at quarto size. Two copies - one for me, one for the author! Plus a funky slipcase to keep it safe in the mail.
The bookcloth and endpapers I both found while on vacation last month. The cloth reminded me a lot of the Aaron Bachalo run of Strange comics, which the author mentioned in the notes as visual inspiration - and I just thought the endpapers looked funky and chaotic and magical in general. The cutouts on the front and the back have a magic circle and a spiderweb vellum underlay, respectively! I always like using this technique on covers, and it felts especially good here.
The slipcase - pulling it together was tricky enough that I only made one of them, and that one's going to the author. There's so much comics inspiration in this fic that I liked the idea of using comics collages to decorate them. I found some nice free wallpaper online for both Strange and Spidey, and I think it brings the whole thing together. There's a New York skyline on the top, a pair of dangling headphones down the spine, and a functional Spotify code for the overall fic playlist on the bottom.
Typeset in Georgia, with Dr.Charmed used for titles and chapter headers, and OCR A Extended for the song tabs. Every chapter has a corresponding song, which is named and cited at the start, with a QR code and a Spotify link so you can listen along while reading!
I was so delighted with this fic when I first read it that I immediately began typesetting it for binding. That was a few months ago, so pulling it together like this is unimaginably satisfying. It's delightful, punchy, and - most importantly to me - every song on the playlist is an absolute banger. Highly recommend checking it out, and please remember to give the author some love!

A square image of a wild west outlaw in silhouette in front of the moon, holding a pistol. To the right is the following text:

A square image of a wild west outlaw in silhouette against a bright sun. he's looking down at a crude cross headstone. to the left is the following text:

a week's worth of reading [jan. 13 - jan. 19]
here's what i read last week, in case you're feeling uninspired, overwhelmed by choice or just too tired to scroll through your marked for later/many opened tabs!
[❣️ marks a personal favourite, 💦 a particularly hot one, ⚡ is for when you want your heart kicked, and ☁️ for a soft and gentle hug]
a nice long meal (over 10k)
☁️ The 3000 things I hate about you by jalpari [mdzs, wangxian, M, 11k]
Lan Wangji is a fresher on campus from a reputed family. Wei Wuxian is a second year student with a reputation of his own.
⚡ never said that i didn't need you by @incogneat-oh [aftg, twinyards, T, 10k]
"Aaron, are you ready to go? The emergency room queue isn’t getting any shorter.” Aaron feels a thrill of nervousness pull unpleasantly in his belly. He doesn’t want to spend the night in a brightly-lit, overcrowded emergency room and have strangers prodding at him. He glances back at Andrew, who looks as disinterested as ever. He’s slouched over, hands in his lap and unmoving, face expressionless. He’s facing forward, but his eyes are on Aaron. And Aaron’s halfway out the door when he swivels. Blurts, “You’ll come with me?" -- Aaron and Andrew spend an evening hanging out in the emergency department.
tea and a handful of biscuits (over 1k)
💦 Against His Nature by @slytherco [cod, soapghost, E, 9k]
While two wrongs don’t necessarily make a right, Ghost is determined to show his Sergeant that two Alphas can make an excellent match, no matter how wrong it may seem. Attraction, tension, obsession — with all the components firmly in place, all he needs to extract is restraint.
❣️ And That’s an Order by @sillyunicorn [merlin, merthur, T, 1k]
When Arthur discovers how Merlin's been getting by, he takes matters into his own hands.
💦 late night, all i think about is you by @kie-kas [aftg, andreil, E, 3k]
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you,” Neil rasps, cheeks flushing as Andrew’s eyes roam over his body. His breath hitches when Andrew pushes onto his elbows, shifting until he’s up against Neil’s side. Andrew presses his thumb against Neil’s lower lip, a gentle pressure, but it still sends sparks shooting to the tips of Neil's toes. “Yes or no,” Andrew murmurs. “Yes,” Neil whispers, almost immediately, and sighs in relief when Andrew presses their lips together. * Neil is used to nightmares. But these dreams... these dreams are newer, different. Neil never used to have dreams like these.
❣️ i have all my fingers by @sturlsons [aftg, andreil, M, 4k]
‘I haven’t watched Fast and Furious.’ Andrew’s silent for so long that Neil cracks an eye open. He’s on his phone, sending a text. Thirty seconds later Neil’s own phone goes off. U HAVEN’T WATCHED F&F??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH U, Nicky demands, with some urgency. (After winning the championship, Neil and Andrew go on vacation.)
☁️ the five year plan by @greaseonmymouth [god's own country, gheorghe/johnny, G, 5k]
Johnny and Gheorge run the farm on their own terms. It's hard work, but it's their work.
❣️⚡️ over/under by @likearecordbb [aftg, andreil, E, 5k]
He’d thought Neil, with his smart mouth and his wild eyes, would be satisfied with what Andrew was offering. He guesses he’d thought Neil was used to living on scraps—and Andrew has never had anything meatier to give. He’d been wrong.

Dare I ask what movie beat Wicked for a Tony?
Avenue Q, there are a lot of songs in it I like (There's A Fine Fine Line is a personal favorite) and the puppeteering elements are really funny and (my dad got it for us to listen to in the car because it was by the people who did Frozen and then we had to skip the song "The Internet Is For Porn" every time it came on for years)
But if more people find out about the song "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist" and we have a discourse cycle around it I WILL in fact jump in a lake

[you and me are in a lot of trouble] - listen on spotify
made to be listened to in order, this playlist explores three arcs of a roman/mencken relationship, using only low-fi songs written between 1994-2003 by The Mountain Goats. the story is told primarily through roman's POV, with one song from someone else's perspective.
♡ the track order + the repeated song are intentional. if you listen, i'd love to know if you understand the story, if you see where the arcs start and stop, and your thoughts on the whole thing ♡
[TRACK 01] - QUETZALCOATL IS BORN [TRACK 02] - ALPHA INCIPIENS [TRACK 03] - GOING TO MAINE [TRACK 04] - GOLDEN BOY [TRACK 05] - GOING TO PORT WASHINGTON [TRACK 06] - BAD PRIESTESS [TRACK 07] - ORANGE BALL OF LOVE [TRACK 08] - GOING TO MAILBU [TRACK 09] - SENDERO LUMINOSO VERDADERO [TRACK 10] - FLASHING LIGHTS [TRACK 11] - STANDARD BITTER LOVE SONG #7 [TRACK 12] - ALPHA SUN HAT [TRACK 13] - FLIGHT 717: GOING TO DENMARK [TRACK 14] - ALPHA RATS NEST [TRACK 15] - GOING TO MAINE
[1] the mixtape art is a painting called "summer loving" by cecily brown, which i recently saw at the san diego musuem of art
[2] as i was (self)-constrained by only low-fi tmg songs, not every song is literal! some are though. which is which is for me to know and for you to find out.
