“The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don’t wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules. Anyway…I’ve started to make a tape… in my head…”

           43 songs.  1 hour.  1 host.  1 show.  An army of loyal fans….okay well, maybe not an “army” but you guys are killer.  This mixtape took way longer than I thought it would to compile.  Mostly due to the fact that the sheer number of song-age (thanks Descendents!) I had to find.  This is my short songs mixtape.

…or even if you just have a great story from your days of Dr. Martens Boots and chain wallets jot it down in an email along with a song request and, who knows, I’ll probably play it.
