An incomplete collection of imaginative rock song covers. It was the last actual mixtape I ever made. The dual tape deck on my stereo broke before I got a chance to finish it. I might try compiling it again as a mix CD.

Despite the fact that TEAM ROBOT was crushed like a Pabst can at a frat party by the might claws of TEAM MONSTER, you are still deserving of a badge... Loser.

Level 40
Great. I would like to hear Hayseed Dixie. There was a band in the 80s I think called Big Daddy. They did covers of contemporary hits in the style of fifties/early sixties bands. Their version of 'Dancing In The dark in the style of 'here Comes Summer' is particularly wonderful.

Mixtape Contest XVII -- Third Place
The age-old tradition of Three Kings Day is to fill the shoes of good children with candy, while they sleep. Bad children get shoes filled with scorpions and other venomous creatures.
Congrats on third place!
