Comment:

The title and insert was "borrowed" from an article on how to introduce non-scenester girls into the scene (and get them to love you) from a Muddle zine. This tape was made in the summer of '99 and was given to Aimee who liked a previous mix tape I had given her. This tape however she found to be TOO hardcore, but I appreciate her honesty. I was going to give this tape to introduce people to "the scene" as I feel it has a descent sampling of various styles but have just made new tapes instead. This one has lasted many drives from home in North Carolina to school in York, PA. Oh yeah--and the beginning of Side B is a fake commercial done by my friend Ian on me and my roommate's (Scott) old radio show CHICKEN FOR BREAKFAST.

i think this would only be too hardcore if there were more than five slayer songs on it. you've kept a very safe distance from *too* hardcore.
