So...obviously I never finished my Christmas memories.
Oops.
Blogging doesn't seem to be my strength these days.
So I thought I would stick with something I am good at - making mixes :)
I've been cleaning out the nooks and crannies of my house and basically have been trying to generally declutter every aspect of my life for the past two years. In the process I have come across many many mix CDs. Most are badly scratched and some aren't even playable. But I do not want to lose these mixes - they are each a part of my past and hold precious memories.
So...I'm documenting them here on my blog and share them with you because really, it's great music.
These Mother Mixes are the mothers of all mixes. These are college to me! Back in the day of Napster and illegal music downloading and burning CDs was awesome. I would find and download (for free!) every song by my favorite artists, which back then were mostly Guster, Dispatch, OAR, Dashboard Confessional, and Dave Matthews. I also loved finding acoustic versions and covers of my favorite tunes. My computer had a playlist of over 500 songs (probably more actually) that would play of shuffle all day long. Each one of these songs are on the soundtrack of my college life.
Feels like studying for the next mid-term, writing a paper, eating vending machine food, and waiting for my boyfriend to call while lounging in high school soccer sweats on my bed up on cement blocks in my poster-walled dorm room.
Seems like a lifetime ago, but when I put on this music I feel like I'm right there again.
