Comment:

This is a tape I made for a girl on the Indiepop list who was feeling down after a boy broke her heart. Side A is the "Loss" side, as most of the songs are about break ups and the sadness and anger that comes along with them. side B is mainly crushy songs, showing the nature of these things is cyclical--you get over it, get smitten with someone else and then wait to put the tape back on the other side.
