Cheat To Win

There is a time in your life sometimes where you feel completely spent: you’re sick of the city you live in, maybe you need something new. You start to look for an adventure to wake you up again. My friend Maggie and I have been super frustrated lately, and have both started to consider a Big Move. I don’t hide the fact that Boston has been a disappointment to me, and I think moving to somewhere like New Orleans or Los Angeles might help. These songs are a promise I made to Maggie to help with the transition that comes with a Big Move - the frustration, the listlessness, the melancholy…but also the excitement and the elation. Some of these songs are usual suspects for my mixes, and some are completely out of left field, but all of them tie to the theme for me. I hope you enjoy them.
