i turned 18 a little over a week ago and today, using the birthday money my grandmother gave me (can't wait til she asks what i bought with it), i got a tattoo. music geek that i am, i created a mixtape to celebrate my newfound badassery. Expect overuse of the word "badass."

| 1 | Lyle Workman : SuperWhat? |
|
From the Superbad soundtrack. "I'm superbad, baby" - relevant both because that is how I feel and because in all reality I'm about as "bad" as Seth and Evan were in the movie.

| 2 | Curtis Mayfield : Pusherman |
|
I acknowledge that I am in no way this badass. But it's something to aspire to. Besides, it's a totally awesome song.

| 6 | David Bowie : Rebel Rebel |
|
Yes, a little clichéd, but this seems to be playing during all of the semi-rebellious moments in my mostly sheltered life. Besides, he says "hot tramp, I love you so." How great is that?

| 7 | The Magnetic Fields : The Nun's Litany |
|
One of my favorite tracks off Stephin Merritt's latest, and about nothing but aspirations of badassery. I'd like to copy the lyrics to the whole song, but I'll just pick a few choice tidbits: "I want to be a topless waitress/I want my mother to shed one tear/I'd throw away this old sedate dress/slip into something a tad more sheer," "I want to be an artist's model/an odalisque, au naturel/I should be good at spin-the-bottle/while I've still got something/left to sell," and most importantly: "I want to be a tattooed lady/dedicated, as I am, to art/Characters bold, complex and shady/will write my memoirs/across my heart."

| 10 | The White Stripes : Offend in Every Way |
|
Yep, the prerequisite White Stripes track. It was pretty hard to choose just one because Jack White is a total badass (as I'm sure Jason Stollsteimer of the Von Bondies can attest). I chose this one for my mother's reaction when she inevitably finds out what I've done.

| 12 | Be Your Own PET : Becky |
|
I actually had a hard time picking which BYOP song to put on this mix, because Jemina Pearl is extremely badass for a little blonde girl. I settled on this one because it exemplifies girly badassery, which is more my style (my tattoo is of a cupcake after all).

| 17 | I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness : According to Plan |

This is a totally sweet track, but I just put it in here because it fits and because when my mom asks me how I could do such a thing, if I'm feeling bold enough I plan to say, "I love you, but I've chosen darkness."

That song by the Dandys is always inspiring. Truly, you have some badass selections, and that is a good thing.
