An Atlas of Herb: Pt 1.

In some ways Herb Sundays was about escaping <late night dorm room voice> “the original algorithm, your own mind” as indeed, two decades of making ones own playlists in iTunes and streaming, not to mention the many mixtapes on CDs and cassettes and DJ mixes before that, and well, you sometimes run yourself into the ground with your own taste.

So for 150, we turn the camera back on the brave curators who shared their personal Herbs for us. I went through and grabbed a cut from each Herb (song # corresponds with the number of the Herb mixes). They definitely aren’t the best songs from each, more of an intuitive pick, and this mix is worse than any of the mixes they are pulled from but as a field manual, it’s a start.

Thanks to everyone who has read/listened/shared so far. Thanks as always to
