Comment:

120 minutes. yes, i know, it's long. title from the rolling stones track, obviously. i've been having a rough time with money lately, and some of my friends chipped in to donate some funds to keep me from getting evicted. i promised to make them something pretty as thanks. this is the tape i made for one of those lovely, lovely people, just random songs i thought she might enjoy.

Good Joy Division, Stones, Nick Cave, and Spoon picks. I haven't heard that Patti Smith cut; must go check it out right now.<3 Sara
