This mix serves two purposes.
These songs came to me from various people when I was at that age when you suddenly realize how much more there is than what is being played on the radio. I know some of these bands have become fairly popular now and are played on the radio, but when they were given to me they were strange and new and different.
I listened to these songs on almost every road trip I went on as a teenager and I listen to them now whenever I want to recapture that feeling.

TEAM 97 -- Third Place
Long before being knocked up with Eddie Murphy's illegitimate child, Scary Spice was on top of the world. Now, she's nothing but washed up. It's kind of sad, really. Just by scoring third place in this contest, you've got infinitely more street cred than Scary. Congrats!

The Halloween 2007 Badge
Happy Halloween 2007! In celebration of this event, here is a recipe to make your very own candy corn:
Combine 1 cup of razor blades, 2 cups of clown tears and 3/4 tablespoon spider eggs in a pan and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and add 2 cups hemlock and 3 ounces of fish oil. Stir until cool enough to handle. Shape and distribute.
Trick or treat!
