Monday Mixtape: Petra Cortright
Chief Keef, Too $hort, Raffi, Blink-182, and a lot of 501Bryze
Monday Mixtape is another path towards music discovery, featuring people whose taste I admire answering a series of questions and prompts with songs (which might change from time to time).
Petra Cortright is an extraordinarily talented interdisciplinary artist, a brilliant thinker, a classic beauty, and also my old neighbor. We met at our old weight lifting gym and I am continuously inspired by her art, her mind, her strength, and her incredible hair. She has exquisite and off-the-wall taste so I am thrilled to have her contribute a Monday Mixtape:
