Comment:

When I left Philadelphia, I made my friends a 6 CD mix collection. The songs that comprise those discs were taken from some of the 1,000 CDs I've had to sell since getting laid off to be able to afford a move to Chicago.

While not all of the songs are about leaving town, a big majority of the tracks here are. If you're ever making a Goodbye or breakup tape, consult some of these sources.

Here's some info about some of the tracks and why they're included:
- Last words on this mix, from Dinosaur Jr: "Sorry I fucked it all up... again...."
- The segue from Cat Power's Stones cover into the actual Stones works great.
- The transition from Poochie's Rap into the Ultramagnetic MC's is PERFECT... same exact saxophone sound.
- Lots of dead folks on these mixes... This CD in particular brings back Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, Lennon and Harrison, Joe Strummer, Linda McCartney...
- "Look Down Darkly", if you've never heard the Waxwings, is insanely brilliant. The Beach Boys meet Built to Spill.
