This Is Not A Democracy

So @GHowell on Twitter wanted me to make him a mixtape which was based on the theme of high school, so I made him one featuring some of the bands and songs I was into from the age of around 16-18. The latest track on this was first released in 2000.

Download.

I even made a cover, look (it's in the zip folder)!



( Fullsize cover + playlist )

Making this really made me quite nostalgic for when returntosender and I were about 17 and she made me a couple of mixtapes. Hefner would have made it onto this if I had a CD copy...

It feels like a lifetime ago, seriously.

Aww. K!TV is showing 'Total Fall Out Boy' - which is a bunch of their videos for half an hour, basically, and it played Sixteen Candles and now it's on GTA and I haven't watched either in months, so it's all nostalgic and... I miss this so bad.

Look at their stupid little faces...

Joe with short hair... Andy with brushed hair... Patrick with facial hair... Pete with man's hair.


Ouch. Epic contrast: Beat It just came on.

MTV|2 is doing a Best of British thing today, and for the first time in ages, I saw the Director's Cut of Doves' Black & White Towns.

It reminded me how the video disturbed me when I first saw it; it's a scarily accurate portrayal of what it's like to grow up in the Nowhere Towns in the UK.

It's pretty depressing, you have been warned.
