Comment:

my attempt at an autobiographical tape. this spans grade 7 to my final year of high school. truth be known it all started with corey hart's 'boy in the box'. the following summer my ear was glued to my handheld radio for 'sledgehammer' and 'invisible touch'(obviously not everything was permitted on the tape). duran duran is the starting point cuz it was my love of synth pop that got me headed down the road that we're all on. luckily my baptist upbringing spared me from the likes of twisted sister and motley crue but did not spare me from randy travis and ricky scaggs. it was the keyboard that lead me to nine inch nails' 'pretty hate machine' and their liner note mention of jane's addiction. they played the soundtrack to most of my high school life and opened the door to so many great bands. this is a great trip down memory lane for me and most of these bands would be on some my first mixes that i would unsuccessfully try to get played at house parties instead of steve miller or the tragically hip. anyhow, these are the bands that took me step by step down that great path of musical discovery. thanks for indulging me, i swear i won't do this again for a couple of days...

Geez... Doesn't this take me back. Do you know that nostalgia used to be diagnosed as a mental disorder?? If there were anything to that, they'd have to lock me up after hearing your mix. Good job!!
