You'll need a 90 minute tape for this mix. Can't find one? Go to your local dollar store, find where they keep their cassettes. Root through the box of 60 minute tapes until you find a few 90 minute ones. Trust me on this, it's the same for every dollar store around the country.

"But Jerk, why a mixtape instead of a burned CD?"
Because burned CDs are impersonal and no fun. To make a mixtape you have to sit there and listen to every song as you're creating it, making it much more personal in my opinion. With a CD you just drag and drop to make a list - no fun! It takes like 10 minutes to make a CD it takes at least the length of the tape to make a mixtape. You put time in it, you listen to every song, it makes it quite personal.

Hype-Hop

I'm coining a new musical term: Hype-Hop. This is a female fronted form of hip-hop that sounds like it should be played at a sports event, preferrably a high school game.
Two genre defining songs:
"Keep It Up" -Fannypack
"Hollaback Girl" -Gwen Stefani

This is the kinda jams you get down to in order to bring yourself to a crazed level of party-ness before Friday night pops off.

Young Girl

I'm two-thirds into Pharrell's new album "In My Mind."
I think it might be the future of pop music...
My proof? Download track nine on the "Young Girl\I Really Like You." Jay-Z is on the track too. Track eight "Angel" works just as well, plus it's kinda funny.

And if you wanna find Hell with me...

I would kill my three best friends to hear Morrissey cover Danzig's "Mother."
This would be absurdly amazing...

Goodwill Industries

First off I have a new phone (her name is Ariana Advinteous) and I am currently writing this post from her. This means lots of on the fly posts, no links some of the time and more spelling errors. Hooray!

The only reason to still have a cassette player is Goodwill. Tapes are only seventy-five cents! And everytime you're in there your bound to find at least one good album. Last time I was in there I bought the Pretty In Pink soundtrack and the Genesis album "Invisible Touch." Am I happy about this? Hell yeah!
More on the Gensis song Invisible Touch next time. Just trust me on this one...
