Comment:

just a first mix for someone i should have been friends with a long time ago. drenched in nuggets-style pop music, lot of upbeat stuff. tried to mix it up with some of my own favorites and some stuff that even a more versed record nerd might not have heard already. put a lot of effort, especially, in to making sure that the tape keeps a steady forward rhythm. i'm really happy with it. the cover was originally hand-drawn in no. 2 pencil, shaded/inked with a thin-tipped sharpie, then scanned into my computer and colored in photoshop. the rest of the j-card (the tracklist, etc) is done by hand with aforementioned sharpie marker.
