Comment:
the concept, songs from the years that the girl that i'm making this for and i were in HS, but she's 2yrs younger, so it was to be songs from '92-'98, but i pulled that in to give it a HS/year book packaging theme (that i don't currently have done)... most of this i was listening to at the time, very little of it i was not at the time... some of these bands have tasted success and then broke up, some became household names, some never had that much luck & just broke up, some still toil at making music in obscurity, and other dissapear w/o any of us knowing what really happened to the band or any of the members... if you know the where abouts of the Mysteries of Life, Pale Saints, Flemming & John, the Pooh Sticks or Sleeper please let me know...WHERE ARE THEY SINCE THEY RECORDED THESE SONGS?

DOLLFACE - Josh & Scott started the Heatersons, after that Scott had the Legionaires, and Matt leads the New Mutes

Feedback:
rad mix, and the BF5 title makes it even radder. Robert's new band is called International Orange, btw.
check louisewener.com for sleeper stuff, louise is currently writing books and hanging around waterstones stores signing stuff, jon's in a band called chimp, dunno about the rest, i think one's in america.
