description:

I decided to pick tracks that fit the theme in title, and secondly in lyrical content or overall mood of the track. It forays into a number of genres (even shitty screamo!) for the sake of the student.

tracklist

1	Biz Markie : Just A Friend
	Such a great way to open any mix. Exhibits the finest attributes of extra-curricular relations: absolute confusion. "You! You got what I neeee-eed!" and "She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra," are the highlights. SHOW MORE
	Track 1 from Greatest Hits Length: 00:04:03 Year: 2002
	Track Description: Such a great way to open any mix. Exhibits the finest attributes of extra-curricular relations: absolute confusion. "You! You got what I neeee-eed!" and "She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra," are the highlights. SHOW LESS
2	Handsome Boy Modeling School : Look At This Face (Oh My God They're Gorgeous)
	A nice segue from the previous as Biz cameos on this album, but seriously. This track is... great. The repeated "Oh my god, they're gorgeous!" is just fabulous. If you aspire to attend the Handsome Boy Modeling School, this clipped track is a must. Don't forget the orange mocha frappucinos! SHOW MORE
	Track 2 from So...How's Your Girl? Length: 00:01:59 Year: 1999
	Track Description: A nice segue from the previous as Biz cameos on this album, but seriously. This track is... great. The repeated "Oh my god, they're gorgeous!" is just fabulous.

3	The Avalanches : Little Journey
	A short little journey that at the beginning reminds me of walking to the first day of grade school with a giant, brightly colored backpack on my back, a headband in my hair, and cautiously approaching the school looming before me. SHOW MORE
	Track 3 from Since I Left You... Length: 00:01:36 Year: 2001
	Track Description: A short little journey that at the beginning reminds me of walking to the first day of grade school with a giant, brightly colored backpack on my back, a headband in my hair, and cautiously approaching the school looming before me. SHOW LESS
4	Blackalicious : Alphabet Aerobics
	If you can do this at school, you succeed at the game of life. An A-Z lyrical bombast. SHOW MORE
	Track 4 from A2G Length: 00:02:42 Year: 1999
	Track Description: If you can do this at school, you succeed at the game of life. An A-Z lyrical bombast. SHOW LESS
5	Boards of Canada : A Is To B As B Is To C
	Another alphabet lesson, but this one is much more subdued and mellow. A nice little break before classtime. SHOW MORE
	Track 5 from Geogaddi Length: 00:01:40 Year: 2002
	Track Description: Another alphabet lesson, but this one is much more subdued and mellow. A nice little break before classtime. SHOW LESS
6	Metric : Calculation Theme
	I HATED MATH CLASS. If this music was playing while I was trying to balance equations, it might have helped just a little. Perfect music for calculation, in my opinion. SHOW MORE
	Track 6 from Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? Length: 00:03:31 Year: 2003
	Track Description: I HATED MATH CLASS. If this music was playing while I was trying to balance equations, it might have helped just a little. Perfect music for calculation, in my opinion. SHOW LESS
7	The Perishers : Let's Write Something Down
	Ah, the drudgery of essay writing. Ususally on a topic you have no interest in whatsoever, such as a beaver fur trade of eastern Canada or the exports of Delaware, some teachers seemed to aspire to makie you hate the art of writing. "Would you care to know?" SHOW MORE
	Track 7 from From Nothing to One Length: 00:04:00 Year: 2002

8	I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness : According to Plan
	'The Plan' being a lesson plan of Depeche Mode/Joy Division awesome. Which it is certainly according to. SHOW MORE
	Track 8 from Fear is On Our Side Length: 00:04:37 Year: 2006
	Track Description: 'The Plan' being a lesson plan of Depeche Mode/Joy Division awesome. Which it is certainly according to. SHOW LESS
9	Boris : Parting
	Adolescents in high school are not particularly adept at enunciating what they're thinking or feeling. Hence why they use music and shitty song lyrics to try and convey that. Boris does one better by being lyrically unintelligible/in Japanese, but still getting the point across. I love love this album and this song, which is definitely more mellow than the rest of the thrashing rhapsody. SHOW MORE
	Track 9 from Pink (Import) Length: 00:07:33 Year: 2005

10	Deftones : When Girls Telephone Boys
	Anxiety felt on both sides of the equation. SHOW MORE
	Track 10 from Deftones Length: 00:04:36 Year: 2003
	Track Description: Anxiety felt on both sides of the equation. SHOW LESS
11	Atreyu : Lip Gloss and Black
	I don't particularly like this band, or its lyrics, or its fan base, but it's big with the high school set and for just cause. They take very familiar situations and over-emote in an epic fashion. I mean, shit, look at the album title. I think the song fits however, and would listen to it in the context of this mix. SHOW MORE
	Track 11 from Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses Length: 00:05:04 Year: 2002

SHOW LESS
12	The Distillers : Young Girl
	"We were young girls, in a small world." An uptempo, hoarse tribute to um... ringing doorbells? Being young? Eh, it works. I promise. SHOW MORE
	Track 12 from Sing Sing Death House Length: 00:02:42 Year: 2002
	Track Description: "We were young girls, in a small world." An uptempo, hoarse tribute to um... ringing doorbells? Being young? Eh, it works. I promise. SHOW LESS
13	Finch : New Beginnings
	Again with the screamo. Not only am I including this for the same reasons as the Atreyu song (adolescent appeal), but also because the title resonates with a back to school theme AND it reminds me of one of my more significant relationships in college and the frivolity of it all. Honestly, it's kind of a guilty pleasure. SHOW MORE
	Track 13 from What It Is To Burn Length: 00:04:39 Year: 2002
	Track Description: Again with the screamo.

14	Fugazi : Combination Lock
	A mellow, wordless track with a casually riffing guitar. I think I remembered my high school combination up until a year or two ago. SHOW MORE
	Track 14 from Red Medicine Length: 00:03:06 Year: 1995
	Track Description: A mellow, wordless track with a casually riffing guitar. I think I remembered my high school combination up until a year or two ago. SHOW LESS
15	The Go! Team : Friendship Update
	The Go! Team always reminded me of a campy cheerleading squad or a campy 70s movie. I think this song encapsulates both of these. SHOW MORE
	Track 15 from Thunder, Lightning, Strike Length: 00:04:00 Year: 2005
	Track Description: The Go! Team always reminded me of a campy cheerleading squad or a campy 70s movie. I think this song encapsulates both of these. SHOW LESS
16	Le Tigre : Slideshow At Free University
	Lovely study music that features quotes from some professor-sounding fellow and ends with a lot of breaking glass. SHOW MORE
	Track 16 from Le Tigre Length: 00:02:48 Year: 1999
	Track Description: Lovely study music that features quotes from some professor-sounding fellow and ends with a lot of breaking glass. SHOW LESS
17	M83 : Teen Angst
	Oh I love this song. This is like what Billy Corgan tried to do with his solo album, but failed at miserably. It crescendos wonderfully throughout. SHOW MORE
	Track 17 from Before the Dawn Heals Us Length: 00:04:13 Year: 2005
	Track Description: Oh I love this song. This is like what Billy Corgan tried to do with his solo album, but failed at miserably. It crescendos wonderfully throughout. SHOW LESS
18	The Presets : Black Background
	I originally chose this because the title reminded me of a blackboard, but upon listening to its minute and a half, it sounds almost like excerpts from the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Well, if it had been a little more upbeat. SHOW MORE
	Track 18 from Beams Length: 00:01:38 Year: 2005
	Track Description: I originally chose this because the title reminded me of a blackboard, but upon listening to its minute and a half, it sounds almost like excerpts from the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Well, if it had been a little more upbeat. SHOW LESS
19	Beastie Boys : The Sound of Science
	"Expanding the horizons and expanding the parameters Expanding the rhymes of sucker M.C. amateurs Naugels, Isaac Newton Scientific E.Z. Ben Franklin with the kite getting over with the key" SHOW MORE
	Track 19 from Paul's Boutique Length: 00:03:11 Year: 1989
	Track Description: "Expanding the horizons and expanding the parameters Expanding the rhymes of sucker M.C. amateurs Naugels, Isaac Newton Scientific E.Z. Ben Franklin with the kite getting over with the key" SHOW LESS
20	The Sex Pistols : Seventeen
	If there ever was a self-explanatory song, it'd be this one. Capturing the reckless confidence of youth rather well. SHOW MORE
	Track 20 from Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols Length: 00:02:02 Year: 1990
	Track Description: If there ever was a self-explanatory song, it'd be this one. Capturing the reckless confidence of youth rather well. SHOW LESS
21	The Appleseed Cast : Here We Are (Family In The Hall)
	I don't know about anyone else, but my little group of friends always had a designated spot that was more or less "ours" in the hallway that changed every year of high school. We really were like a little family, except much much more giggly and annoying. SHOW MORE
	Track 21 from Peregrine Length: 00:03:40
	Track Description: I don't know about anyone else, but my little group of friends always had a designated spot that was more or less "ours" in the hallway that changed every year of high school. We really were like a little family, except much much more giggly and annoying. SHOW LESS
22	Johnny Cash : A Satisfied Mind
	Hopefully this is how you end your scholastic career: with something of a satisfied mind. "Money can't buy back Your youth when you're old Or a friend when you're lonely Or a love that's grown cold The wealthiest person Is a pauper at times Compared to the man With a satisfied mind" SHOW MORE
	Track 22 from Kill Bill Volume 2 Length: 00:02:49 Year: 2004
	Track Description: Hopefully this is how you end your scholastic career: with something of a satisfied mind.
