finished the mix tape for the mixtape community this morning...it's directed to this person...i don't know her though, this trade system's all random or something...though i had emailed her for a list of bands she's into to as i'm a perfectionist and don't like giving ppl a bunch of stuff they already have (as well as having a model for what they would like...not that i won't subject anyone to some of the same certain "essentials" of my own facist tastes...) and we were supposed to have the tapes sent yesterday...but i emailed her yesterday letting her know it'd be a day late...but then, after scrounging around for change for a while to get enough to buy an envelope thingie, i went to buy one and mail it...but i got there at 4:30 and the stupid post office has its last pickup at 4 on saturdays...bollocks to the lazy government! oh well...i'm bad...(hopefully she won't be mad at me upon revealing this information of how sucky i am...) but anyhoo...here's the track listing...(oh...and sorry i haven't been able to finish your tape yet...but the semester's just about done for and i should have the time really soon...this one just had a deadline so i had to finish it first...not that i quite made the deadline...)
