talking of burned CDs, awhile back I found the track list (handwritten on the back of a collage) for the CD I burned for Mr. View in 2009 after knowing him for like two weeks

Somehow, via the twists of fate and/or the internet, I once stumbled across a recording of a This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb show where the drummer (I think, maybe the lead guitar?) had a broken arm so they were playing a glockenspiel with their good arm, and it’s awesome, frantically bing banging away.

bought that RJD2 record at some Rhymesayers showcase in 2002 in Ft Collins, then my friend and I got kicked out the venue five minutes into the opener for drinking Fat Tires in the bathroom/being underage

When I was an RA we would submit songs for a “residence hall staff mix CD” that my hall director would burn for us at the end of the year, I should find those playlists

All I know is that blasting Blind Melon in a 1995 Toyota Corolla with ok speakers and bad AC so the windows are rolled down and you’re just getting a face full of that mid-May South Dakota air is very good, actually

Don't know whether to be horrified or proud that I managed to seal the deal while putting this kind of energy out into the universe

That Specials version of Pressure Drop is so good and it's become Lost Media in the post-iTunes era

I listen to many of these bands and genres! Paulina is probably my favorite on the list although Brother and Five State Drive are high up there too

Hell yeah. They're custom wides, "ceramic suede" uppers, and took an ungodly amount of time to show up, but I was so thrilled with them when they did. In the right light, they match my hair almost perfectly!

flattered you picked my OC as hair color inspiration

Yeah, they do! The news that you can get custom Vans is also news I'm going to file away for future use.

Needs Dr Dog but I love putting Sexx Laws on a mix tape for a new someone, that's bold

Unfortunately I didn't discover Dr. Dog until I was Thirty Five Years Old

Also the Sexx Laws thing is indeed wild, I don't think I knew at the time how very very reserved Mr. View is. Might've been on thin ice!
