Comment:

I made this just this weekend for one of my best friends from high school, who like me, is beginning grad school in about 2 weeks. It leans pretty mellow, mostly acoustic, and with a few exceptions, decidedly optimistic. The title, for the record, comes from the Big Star track on Side A. Gotta love that tune. I dig this tape.
