The College Chronicles, Part One

Creator of the Mix: Captain Derk

Notes about the Mix: This tape, along with the second part of the series, is essentially an aural time capsule. All of these song link to events, people and encounters I've made between June 2005 and now, so since I've left home for college, hence the name.

So, im my mind, this is a prime example of using the tape as much more than something you jam into a boombox and listen to. It's a snapshot of a specific point in time, something that's fun to me now and will serve as a nostalgia piece a few years down the road.
