I recently made some nicely priced additions to the piles of musical wax in my room. Lots of early to mid nineties grunge/punk bands, some girl groups of the 60's, and even some folk music. So I listened to this stuff and had a 60 minute blank cassette handy so I pretended CD burning and mp3's were some science fiction pipe dream and went ahead with making an actual mixtape.
Some of this stuff I'd never heard or heard of before, so with headphones on at 3AM, I put this thing together. It turned pretty well except for the volume is a little too low on the $100 Jayhawks song and I had to include a song twice since it was cut off prematurely at the end of side A, but honestly these were the only things I'd change, aside from maybe using a longer cassette so I could wrap it up with a Tom Waits song.

Track Description:
This Husker Du single from 1981 is kind of rare and I think it's worth lots more than the 3 dollars I paid for it, but who cares about that when this song rocks a bunch and calls out all the poseurs at parties who know all the right people, wear all the right clothes, and have no personal ideas about anything.

Track 8 from The Pool Shark
Length: 00:02:53 Year: 1970 |
|
|
Track Description:
Never heard of this guy, I just liked the cover art showing a pool shark at work. This song is sort of a mellow country crossover song. It's a lonely heartbroken traveler's song. And it helps continues this little love-loss-dealing-with-it story arc I started with "Give Him a Great Big Kiss". SHOW LESS

The title is a phrase I cut off of a Walmart receipt I found. There's no real importance other than it looked good as a caption under the photos of monkeys and toucans that I cut out of some magazines I used for the cover of the tape.
