This Burned CD Could Be Yr Life w/ Kate Sweeney
2005, New Jersey
You're 15 & are in your BFF's Mom's Ford Explorer in the mall parking lot. You just went to Hot Topic but didn't buy anything because you can't get a job until you're 16.
Your BFF is a year older and is an avid British post-punk music forum reader. She plays her new burned CD and the music blows your mind. Her home internet is strong enough to get full albums from WinMX. In a year you'll get an iPod and better internet and your world will burst open.
The first half of this mix is everything I can recall of that burned CD, paired with what we already listening to. This was the time where you could see NJ ska legends (and MCR!) play your local VFW hall & head into the city to use your allowance to buy pink hair dye on St. Mark's place.
