Here's a mix I've done to coincide with it being Friday the 13th. Although it has less to do with the date and more to do with the films. From the tracklisting you might be wondering how that works. The idea is of Jason Vorhees as pure drive. His compulsion to kill, as well as (or mainly) his compulsion to live, makes him the perfect ethical character - paying no heed to reality, to real life, to the everyday, he sticks straight on, never wavering from his need to kill (which is why I have a slight problem with a couple of the Friday The 13th films - he compromises on his desire). So the mix is formed by the idea of this ethic. Not the killing, but the ethic of living, of carrying on despite the everyday, of going beyond the everyday, of no compromise, of changing the situation rather than accepting it, of not compromising on one's desire. And it also contains a few samples from the films for good measure.
When I was putting it together I wasn't sure how successful it was, but having listened to it through I think it works pretty well.
