Comment:

One of my best friends at work is leaving for another job in another city. We shared musical tastes (hard to imagine there could be another person like me out there!) and many of the mixes I have submitted to AoTM were inspired by our joint musical explorations.
So, now she is leaving and I am making a "see ya later" CD -- NOT a "goodbye" CD. Well, my first attempt resulted in the dreariest, most maudlin collection of "mope rock" you can imagine. Our CD trading couldn't go out like that!
Once I scrapped those original plans, I put together this little mix. Maybe the catchy hooks will disguise my tears.

Bravo erik! I'm sure she'll be gladdened by the change to the upbeat an' happy..,an impression you'll be thankful for as well....no brooding. (Isn't there enough of that..? These "vicodin rockers"...who the &^%$ is THAT depressed, and while I recognize it's a serious issue---why would you listen to music which only perpetuated the mood?) Hail Mental As Anything! Lively up yourself...

#7 & 8 are a couple of the catchiest songs ever and, of course Big Star...THE catchiest song ever! Excellent!
