Guest Mix: White Mystery’s Punk Love Mixtape

GET BENT’s favorite pair of gingers, White Mystery, handcrafted a punk love mixtape, just for you guys on this special, uber lovey dovey day! Download it here and check out our other mixes here. Tracklist after the cut.

What is love, and why does it require commemoration? Valentine’s Day is a memorial since my best friend and band-mate Chris “Playboy” Saathoff was killed on February 14, 2004. This mix tape compiles songs I hear at the intersection of romance and sorrow.

Deep cuts include “Baby” from the last live concert Chris Playboy and I played on In the Red, an alternate version of “Girl U Want” by Devo, wisdom from legends like Richard Hell, Greg Cartwright, and old Detroit soul legend Nathaniel Mayer who I had the pleasure to play with on Valentine’s Day in Las Vegas many years ago. Check out White Mystery on tour this spring and hug your friends. Enjoy!
