The Art of the Mix Tape - 1/30/04
Or in this case, CD. While in a goodwill
store recently, I was flipping through the CD rack trying to find something
Heather and I could listen to while running errands for a while. Although it was
tough to find anything I'd even heard of, I managed to spot what appeared to be
a "Lynyrd Skynyrd - All Time Greatest Hits" disc. That would have been fun to
crank up in the wagon for a while.
But upon closer inspection, the disc was in fact
someone's homemade mix in a different
case.I HAD to spend 99ยข on
it.We
check out and I eagerly put the CD in. The player spits it back out.
Uh-oh.Heather tries cleaning it and we
manage to get track two playing. Not
bad.Track three was something
completely different, as were some of the other tracks. It turned to be a mix of
light music and songs/tracks about
penises.I'm not
joking.The disc lasted the day right
up until I sat for extra minute in the car in our driveway to hear the end of
the last song. Perfect and well worth the
buck.So, here's the track listing from
someone's random mix from late January,
2004.01. Weezer - Holiday (Most of the
track won't play since the disc is too
scratched)02. Cat Stevens -
