Actually that reminds me... I found an old mix cassette tape the other day from when I was 16... maybe that will be my mix exchange item!

Ha, the Mission UK... a friend and I were talking about them recently, and when you go back and listen to them, they really weren't all that good.

Ha ha. I made quite a few mixes from that time period with a Blues Traveler track included too. For a brief moment they promised to be something better than they were - or maybe it just sounded that way in relief of all that grunge overkill.

Oh boy that brings back some great memories.

The Blue Aeroplanes, loved them.

We could've hung out with very few problems.

I have a bin bag of old tapes in the cupboard maybe I should have a rummage around.

Yeah, I would agree... some of these songs are totally what I was listening to during those times. I used to be a huge Sinead O'Connor fan.

Graduation 1990-- from college, I hope? I was spring of 93.

I put on a poi dog pondering cd recently that I bought like five or six years ago, and I couldn't quite see what I liked about it back then...

Yeah, I had lots of those kinds of songs on mixes. Still do, even.
