today i made you a mixed tape, and i decorated it with lots of stars

so the newest facebook fad is the 25 albums thing. and much like everything music related, i'm putting a considerable amount of thought into it (call me rob fleming, or if you preferred the movie, rob gordon) i dug out my giant 400 cd holder to scan over some old stuff that i haven't listened to in a while but still wanted to include. this binder never made it to ny and i dunno if it even made it to al of my drexel apartments. so really, this is untouched stuff from about 4, 5, 6 years ago.

and of COURSE, i get sucked in...

i found a cd labeled "jen y100 11-12-05" i was really worried that it was going to be a disc of my airchecks (i hate listening to my own voice work, it makes me really self conscious) but it was a bunch of songs that i guess i wanted to play on my show that week. i am the avalance, the mescaleros, midtown... really my own playlists haven't changed at all in three years. i dunno if that's good or bad.

another cd labeled "some fun some serious" not in my handwriting. the shit on this cd ranged from vitamin c's the graduation song to a bunch of unidentified country to the blossum theme song. must have been my college roommates.

another was a cd labeled “feb 02” with a heart sticker on it which i almost passed over. thankfully i didnt because i found some fucking JEMS. the piano song by the starting line, a b side i have been looking for for literally years. a cover of just like heaven by the benjamins. the benjamins! does anyone even remember them besides me and bon??? they did one underrated album for drive thru around 2000/2001 and faded into obscurity. an old demo of i'm a loner dottie that i don't even remember... and a TON of sappy shit. it was valentines and i was in a high school relationship, soooo i think i get a pass. but, serious dashboard alert.

so really this little facebook note project has gotten me sucked into old stuff big time. i never even got to that facebook thing.  i have a ton of unlabeled burned cds to go thru. a nice little insomnia project i suppose. istay tuned.
