So I just joined and saw this contest about what we used to listen to and I racked my brain and then decided upon searching out one of my old mixtapes. I, like I still do, started my meager CD collection a mere 9-10 years ago with the goal of keeping my collection not in alphabetical order but in chronological order and keeping a mixtape was helpful in putting a song from each album - in order, mind you - on the tape. So here it is. Enjoy!
tracklist
| 1 | Beck : tropicalia |
|
Not to injure the pride of the person who added the track, but I tried to remedy the lowercase setting and was denied, I shall not argue with it. This was the track that inspired my first CD purchase ever. I liked the calypso-esque beat. I don't recall any other tracks from this album.

| 2 | Violent Femmes : Blister in the Sun |
|
Back in the day, the local "cool" radio station would play this every Friday at 5 during the drive time and I would dance around my bedroom before heading out with friends. Dancing like Angela Chase, I might add.

| 3 | Fiona Apple : ACROSS THE UNIVERSE |

One of the best cover songs ever. My best friend and I spent several hours trying to figure out the meaning of J'ai guru de va om - or something like that - with the limited resources we had.

| 7 | Beastie Boys : Unite |

In junior year of high school, I went through a weird obsession with the Beastie Boys. I think it was a little crush on Ad-Rock plus a big media push for this particular album that did it.

I love it. Except the Santana part -- he's been playing the same riff for like 4 decades now ;)

I think it's my least fave on the mix, it's the only one I wouldn't want to listen to now.
I figured out the artwork. Yay for me!
