"Mood swing I can't let you win/ You bring me up, you bring me down..."

Feeling schizophrenic? This mix is for you. There are more ups and downs on it than a game of Chutes and Ladders. Bonus points to Suzanne for not putting something obvious (and dare I say shitty?) like "No Rain" on her May-weather-themed mix.

1. Here Comes the Sun - Richie Havens
2. Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa - Hot Chip & Peter Gabriel

Tapes 'n Tapes!

I'm just gonna warn you now. This post is about to get hella nerdy. There's nothing cool to read here, please move along.






Still reading? OMG, LOOK AT THESE FUCKING AWESOME THINGS! They're beautiful! Remember cassettes? Remember how they would get eaten up in the player, and you'd have to gently fish out the tape? Remember the feeling of satisfaction you'd get from winding the tape back onto the spool with a ballpoint pen (Bics worked the best, only losers used pencils)?

One time, my cassette copy of "Protection" got all cracked and stopped working, so I transplanted the reels into the case of a blank cassette. I felt like a genius.

How many of these cassettes did you have? I had these, these, these, & these. Check out tapedeck.org for more!

New Kids on the Glock

They also do tinkly covers of "Private Eyes", Lily Allen's "The Fear", and "In My Room" by the Beach Boys.

No glocked up versions of "Hangin' Tough" or "Please don't go Girl" yet though. Anyways, enjoy.
