Comment:

I made this mx at the end of May, the inaugural mix of the summer. Its made up mostly of stuff I've uncovered lately, plus songs from last year's college radio playlist. I'm particularly proud of side one, which seems to flow as well as anything I've ever mixed. The title is in regards to a new "independent radio" station in this area, which plays as much Blink-182 and rap-metal as its corporate counterparts.
