All the songs on PLEASE LOVE ME: A Volume of Polite Desires were collected in February 2012 during a heavy spell of heartache, when I traversed the entire Internet to find track names containing the word “please.” Please love me. Please please me. Please release me. It was finally made into a mix for L.A. Zine Fest’s Mixtape Swap last week. I hope you will enjoy it, even for all its sadness.
