I don't have the complete tracklisting, but I can give you a sampling.
Operation Ivy - Soundsystem
Young Disciples - Apparently Nothing (I totally forgot about this song and how freaking great it is!)
The Move - I'll Be Over Tonight
Beach Boys - Little Honda
Stereolab - (something from "Switched On Vol. 2")
Rancid - Radio
Breeders - Hellbound
Beatles - I've Got a Feeling

This is fun.
Haven't heard this stuff in 10 years and I am loving every minute of it.
I made some great mixes! :D

(I'll update this post as I remember more songs.)

same here.

i recently found a mix that i made when i was 'round 12 years old. i recorded the intro like it was a radio show. It has Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Krokus, etc. on it, all recorded from vinyl. Maiden's "Running Free" skips twice.

"Put your Metal fists in the air"! That's funny.

Used to have boxes of cheap cassettes of all my old college shows ('84-'92 or thereabouts) but the cellar backed up and ruined all of them a couple years ago.

Yeah, I've got some mix tapes at home still... one I distinctly remember making when I was around 16. I remember there being Echo and the Bunnymen, Dead Milkmen, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Vandals, Lazy Cowgirls and this weird cover version of Wipeout by someone called Herman ze German. I should look it up and post the listing for you. I'm sure you guys would have a field day with it.

I also have a couple of tapes when I was on the radio in college too. One was a Sunday special I did on Sinead O'Connor. Another was when I subbed for my husband (then-boyfriend) hosting his punk/hardcore show while he was home sick with chicken pox. Funny stuff.

Hell, I have 15 year old mix tapes. Not that they are anything worth listening to. Just a bunch of top 40 hits I recorded off the radio like Poison by BBD, Rub You the Right Way by Johnny Gill, It Must Have Been Love by Roxette, interspersed with a few more desirables like World in Motion by New Order, Strangelove by DM, etc.

I have yet to be able to find that radio mix of DM's Strangelove anywhere. I want it.

Was it on vinyl? I probably have it, but alas, all my vinyl is in my sister's closet in Atlanta.

If I found one of my old cassette mix tapes, I would only be able to look at it.
