Author's Notes for the "A Grand Sneer" soundtrack

I always listen to music while writing. While I was working on this project, whenever I heard something that resonated with what I was writing or even scenes I was playing with in my head, I made a note. The soundtrack is culled from that list of notes, with a couple of editorial decisions made to make most of the songs ones that Dean would be willing to listen to without throwing the tape out of the window. It wound up with quite a few psychedelic or psychedelic-influenced tunes, which I thought was fitting, considering that the whole story is a trip down the rabbit hole for Dean.
