As part of my apparent nostalgia kick (this website update being part of that) I’ve been listening to a bunch of my old mix CDs. You know those shiney circular things that held music after cassettes but before iPods and digital stuff took off? \u00a0At the time, I did make some pretty cd labels and gave up with cringe-worthy album titles, but I never wrote down the songs. \u00a0So I’ve been listening to them, writing down the track list and trying to convert them into a playlist that I can share publicly. \u00a0I tried Spotify at first, but found it lacked some of my more esoteric song choices, so I switched to YouTube playlists and it’s been pretty easy. \u00a0As I get closer to done, I’ll start posting them for people to enjoy or laugh at. My bet is on the latter, but hey I liked them at the time and from what I’ve heard, they seem to stand up alright given time. \u00a0Once that is all done, I might have to start making some mixes of current stuff, but one step at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
