Memory Leak: S+V Season 2

1. Beginning

"Talking Sense" was made a long time ago (as evidenced by the old geometric artwork) when I wasn't feeling very good, so having something talking sense was nice to me.  With those times coming around again I took to editing this to finally upload something again.  The mixing on the latter half is kind of shit, but I think I'm starting to learn how to clean transitions up a bit better without just generic fade in/fade out.  We'll see how that goes.  Here's the version 2 of "Talking Sense":

1. Our Prayer - The Beach Boys
2. Paris 1919 - John Cale
3. Neat Little Domestic Life - of Montreal
4. Something for the Weekend - The Divine Comedy
5. The Words That Maketh Murder - PJ Harvey
6. Tuesday Afternoon - Moody Blues
7. Sunday Morning - Velvet Underground
8. Cybele's Reverie - Stereolab
9. Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken - Camera Obscura
10. European Oils - Destroyer
11. No Surprises - Radiohead
12. GROT - St. Vincent
13. Ladytron - Foxy Music
14. New Age - The Velvet Underground
15. Sons of the Silent Age - David Bowie

Overall it's a baroque pop piece with some darker undertones later on.  "GROT" was the foundation for that weird bridge, and the saxophones on earlier tracks help backup the one-two denouement of "New Age" and "Sons."  "European Oils" is the clunkiest one after some editing, but I like it too much to drop it.  It fits in the grand scheme of things anyway.  Apologies for double tVU.
