Comment:

I Made this mix my junior year of high school. It was intended to be a faster paced mix for driving around with my firends, but I guess the mood I was in was more brooding than I thought and this mix was the result. My friend, Mike, renamed the mix "The Non-Depressing Depressing Mix," and the name stuck better than "Driving Mix '96." Anyway, once I got to college, my use of tapes was waning and once my sophomore year roommate broke my stereo, I just carried my tapes with me to my next residence hoping they would oneday find a new deck in which to be played (I was carless). At the end of my junior year in college, I went downtown to meetup with an old crush to see a Dali exhibit and I had this playing in my walkman as I Metro'ed into twon. She asked if she could listen to it on her trip home (she was leaving for home for the summer) and I never got it back; she said she lost it. Fast-forward about three and a half years to this past fall: I was cleaning out some old papers and I found a piece of scrap paper with the tape cover I had made for the mix way back in '96. I had even looked for the old listing of tracks on my parents old computer, but with no luck. I was finally able to re-create the mix after all of those years. Damn you, TK, and your mix-losing ways!
