Comment:

The title comes from the last song.

I broke two of my own mix tape rules with this one, and I broke them both twice - No two songs by one artist (3 by the Promise Ring)and no more than one song from a comp (The Seven Storey Mountain and Vitreous Humour songs are all from the "Don't Forget To Breathe" Comp. Despite that though, it's still pretty good.

This mix has one of the more elaborate packages I've ever made - the sleeve is a quad fold, printed on vellum and laid out on one of them computer thingies.

The cover pic, in theme with the title, is a vintage picture (circa 1940s) that I got at a junk store of a girl graduate in her cap and gown, posing on the front lawn with her diploma. The next 3 panels utilize photos that I took of 3 of the bands on the mix (the promise ring, lifetime and texas is the reason).

Rock and/or roll.
