Mittwoch Mixes - Memento Mori 2026 - Part 1

Each year I celebrate my birthday with some now traditional Memento Mori mixes and this year will be no different...

I am starting this blast from the past off with I was an Angry Teenage Weirdo Vol. 2, picking up where the first volume left off, providing thirteen more tracks that were on repeat on my disc-man when I was 16-18. Feel ancient with me as you realize that all of these songs are over a quarter century old...
