Comment:

Spring of 1999 -- I'm selling some records on ebay so that I can eat...some kid buys a few off of me and I send him a really crappy mixtape as a "bonus". Looking back on it now, it was probably the worst mixtape I've ever made.
--------------
Spring of 2005 -- One day I randomly get a myspace message from some guy who claims I sent him a mixtape in 1999. We get to talking and to make a long story really short and leave you completely in the dark, I end up driving 13 hours from Chicago to Atlanta to hang out with him for the weekend. Mixtapes bringing people together 6 years later, who knew?

--------------Anyway, this is a mix I just made for him to make up for the really horrible one 6 years prior. I painted the case and hand drew the insert. Basically it's just a mix of good songs. No underlying theme or hidden messages here--just good music.

That's the kind of story always at the back of my mind. Six years? Amazing. It's just a pity I don't think I've heard any of the songs.

great story! great cover!

I don't know any of the songs on the mix, so I can only assume they're great too.

Some lovely tunes here. What I don't know I'm sure would interest me based on the company they're in. Do you trade CDs too? If so, let me know. Fab cover art.

Aw, sweet story. The songs and the art both look amazing. Doesn't it feel good to give someone a mix you're really proud of?

'Tis true, mixes bring people together. This looks lovely, and I like the Bill Fay especially.
