Comment:

ok here's the theme of the mix. one song for every year of my life (based on release date of the album not necessarily the year of the single). i'm turning 30 in a few months and i've started to look back at a lot of things in my life and i decided to try to make a neat little musical package of it. it flows pretty well but i'm not really that happy with the eagles song, but otherwise i like this mix a lot. the joan jett song happens to be from 1980 but i would have used it anywhere necessary. since it was the theme for one of the best shows to come along in a long time, and now that freaks and geeks is gone, i wanted to honour it. the title breaks my normal tradition of using a song lyric as the title, but it describes my life to a tee and i'd imagine a lot of other peoples as well.
