~sometime in August '99~
i just got back from my lovely trip to utah...i'll do a page on that in a few...and, well, i've missed all my music SOOOOSOSOSOSOOSOOOO much (yes that much). while we were in the backcountry we'd sing while we worked...cuz we didn't have a radio...but we could only remember certain words to certain songs and it was driving us nuts (you try singing a smashmouth chorus fifty times consecutively and tell me that doesn't make you insane). and when we got down from the mountains, we drove around in this old suburban that received three radio stations, one of which was called The Hawk. it was this funky classic rock station, and i think i was the only one in my crew who really didn't know all the songs...or practically any, for that matter....
so anyway, now that i'm back, i'm re-listening to all of my cds and making lots of mixed tapes for my car. ^_^ it's so fun! except i sorta tend to forget that i am recording....and screw up my tapes...but that's okay. either way...i suppose this is going to be about my favorite music stuff...i'll try to make mp3s available or whatever...err, when i learn how...but either way, just in case i know you and you like anything i have and want to borrow it...well, here's your chance (although, i do draw some lines as to what i'll lend and what i won't lend....i get somewhat attached to my cds..)
March 2001.
Update...Actually I'm not really going to do much...just maybe add a few albums in my foreign section. I'm a poor college student now, and Napster is the way to go. Not that I ever download anything anymore, since I don't listen to the radio anymore (bad reception in the dorms).

(mishmash of stuff, maybe some's not alt, i don't know. mostly it's just non-soundtrack english stuff.)
