Comment:
Last night I was in a really foul mood. In fact, I was just plain pissy. The only thing I wanted to do was be depressed, and so I did, by way of the above mix-tape. I know the Ani DiFranco cover isn't all that sad, but there was a moment last night I was feeling a tad peppy, and obviously, it was when I played that. Good news: the mix tape helped, and I feel better. That's the point of a mix, right?Feedback:
I really think, with that title...you should add Nirvana's "I Hate Myself and Want to Die." It only seems fitting.
Otherwise, very up-and-down mix. NIN and the Smiths next to one another is either a travesty or a daring success!

I actually almost included it, but thought it took the cheese factor up a notch I didn't want to goto. Smiths near a NIN song is rather odd, but somehow after hearing the final product, it doesn't really detract from the flow of the mix. Thanks for the comment.
