In the Mix: Digging up some old cassettes

ever since jason started his “in the mix” posts, which revive old cassette compilations, i’ve been meaning to dig deep and find one of my own. he’s pulled from his high school years, during the height of our 7″ craze and even a post-college post rock-ish mix. this weekend i was cleaning out some closets and came across a box that had one of my favorite compilations i put created. it’s definitely from my indie rock days and about half the songs come from 7″s. like most of the mixes i made, it didn’t stick completely with one genre of music and has some ebbs and flows. anyway, without further ado here’s my contribution to “in the mix.”
