William Basinski - Cascade
Growing up, Dakota often spent a lot of time alone. There weren't a whole lot of opportunities for him to meet other kids around his age out in the woods of Washington state. It was hard finding just one track from William Basinski, but Cascade captures that feeling of solitude and quiet reflection.
Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra
A classic, dorky ass anthem that encapsulates Dakota's attitude. Before the cease and desist, he would use this at the start of his magic shows. -
The Kills - U.R.A. Fever
A song that drips with a certain brand of sleaze that you have to put in some real effort to achieve. A bit of a reminder of who Dakota can be below his cheerful exterior.
Phoebe Bridgers - I Know The End
This track is about facing the end of the world with a smile. Dakota has learned to make the best of bad situations for himself. But also, come on, it's Phoebe.
The Black Dahlia Murder - Conspiring With the Damned
Messing with powers beyond your comprehension very rarely goes well. Dakota has learned this the hard way.
