irreverence too. Contrary to what you may think, we don’t write for
money or fame. Tiny Mix Tapes is comprised of a bunch of
over-achievers, and our primary jobs range from studenting,
teaching, receptioning, cooking, and being full-time girlfriends of
past models, to curing cancer and supplying Merriam-Webster with new
words like "studenting" and "receptioning." It does help, of course,
that two of our core members have been diagnosed with mild-to-medium
cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder and schizophrenia. We like to
refer to these two writers as "troubled geniuses" in the vein of
Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf."

New Yorker of hipster blogs,” we blog about relevant artists of
the day, with no particular genre-specific focus. Newsweek
thinks we’re influential.” When we want to hear exceptional
new music–not just anything, but stuff selected by people with
respectable eardrums–we go to Gorilla vs. Bear…GvsB’s picks
are knowledgeable yet friendly; they want you to hear it because
they love it. And if another blogger found it first, they’re only
too happy to give credit where it’s due. –the
