Remember the summer you turned 16 and gas prices were low? All day you'd just drive around with your friends and listen to music. You'd laugh and complain about how boring your little town was and wait for the sun to go down so you could sneak into the woods or onto the golf course with a 12 pack and a dime bag. We wanted to get out so bad, but I would give anything to be back in that little piece of shit car (we called it "the bucket") with no worries about getting older and having nothing to show for it. What I wanted to capture in this mix was that feeling you get when you and your three best friends are ambling down some mountain road and the trees are blocking out the sun and there is a cool breeze and a really really great song comes on and everyone gets quiet and just listens.
The summer is coming. Its almost here. It was 82 degrees today. This is for slow driving down all those winding country roads of my youth, with the windows down and my best friend in the passenger seat.

Track Description:
OK, talk about memories. Modest Mouse IS high school for me. I had the good fortune (although I didn't really think so at the time) of growing up in the most beautiful little town in the Hudson Valley in NY State. The landscape of that town probably had just as much to do with shaping the person I've become as songs like this one did. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
OK, this song obviously wasn't around when I was in high school, but this band certainly was and boy did I love them. This song is the turning point for the mix. It picks up the pace and sets the tone for the songs to follow. It also fits pretty well with the way I've been feeling lately, and I love the line.. "I'll change, love, change I'll change for you When I am ready to" SHOW LESS

+ infinity for the field mice.
I had a 73 Plymouth Satellite, a true four-door nightmare. Here's to all those magical nights, the 3 AM basketball games, the conversations with Johnny Law, and of course, those fights over DJ privileges.
A great piece of nostalgia. Cheers.

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!
