Mixtape: Where Was My Mind, Pts. 1-4

For a couple years now, I’ve been saying that I’m going to make some mixes of everything I really loved in the ’90s. I came of age in that decade: discovered classic rock with my dad, went to my first show, fell in love with my first radio station, and became punk rock’s underage love child. This is a four part mix, featuring songs and bands that helped define my formative listening years. Naturally there’s a bunch of stuff I listened to that isn’t here – I’m focusing on the dirty, gritty, pre-emo and loud this time. I cheat just a bit with a couple of softer tunes, but they belong here. Shoe-gazing depression mix comes next. Follow the jump for the rest of the discs.
