Comment:

Inspired by a postmodern American poetry class, this is the third installment of the "Rock the House" series (see also: "Stadium Rock the House" and "Master Tape (Classic Rock the House)") for DJ Usurp. Don't know if this will just be a trilogy or if the series will continue. [Notes: "ROME" is actually written upside-down. Allen Ginsberg cameos on "Ghetto Defendant."]

I really like your picks from The Shins, Badly Drawn Boy... interesting choices from Pavement and Grandaddy... interesting to start off with a song that refers to an earlier song on the album from which it comes.

I'll finish this tape whenever I get my car back. So far I feel like it's a Sgt. Peppers-type thing: lots of pastiche, but with a lot of flow.
