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.

I have no big urge to hear the soup dragons, but yes the blues traveler song makes me cringe much more.

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.
