Comment:

A short punkish tribute to songs with the word 'heroin' in the title.

-noun -- A white, crystalline, narcotic powder, C21H23NO5, derived from morphine, formerly used as an analgesic and sedative. Manufacture and importation of heroin are now controlled by federal law in the U.S. because of the danger of addiction. It is also called diacetylmorphine, diamorphine. It's a substance extracted from a plant, the poppy flower to be exact. There are many ways to use/abuse heroin, including intravenously- with a needle, smoking- using foil; "chasing the dragon", and snorting the substance. Many users each year overdose and die, relapse, get arrested, or stay addicted.I read somewhere that the onset of a heroin "rush" from a needle is about 3-7 seconds, and lasts about 3 seconds. Hardly seems worth it, but it does make me curious to try something described to me by an actual user as an full body orgasm that starts in your tummy. Besides that it makes for some yummy tunes.

I kind of wanted to do a mix of songs about heroin related drug use that didn't necessarily have 'heroin' in the title, but ... it's been done, and would have taken a lot more time to compile. This is mostly punk/metal/brit pop tracks because that makes up the bulk of my library and the Dan Warren track is available for seperate download is case you don't want or need the whole zip. You should download at least that song. It is, partially, the inspiration for this mix, along with a friend linking me to this youtube clip this morning. This took a whopping 3 hours from conception to post (while I had other 'second-to-last-Friday-before-Christmas' afternoon activities to keep me distracted) so be gentle, and in case my html doesn't work, here's an alt download link.
