The College Chronicles, Part One

Creator of the Mix: Captain Derk

Notes about the Mix: These tapes are essentially an aural time capsule. All of these songs link to events, people and encounters I've made during my first semester at college, hence the name. Part Two will be completed in May 2006.

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.
