Tiny Update

As suggested by a friend, I’ve copied all my tapes to Dropbox. I don’t own any of the tracks in them so, might be, they’ll be putting them down just as Mediafire has, any moment now. Of course I’m one step ahead of them, working on Rapidshare copies now.

Dropbox works pretty fine at the moment so I’ve fixed all of the download links and clickthroughs HERE.

Below’s a more compact version of the links, arranged chronologically.

Hi, Cy! I think the particular number you said you wanted earlier’s at 7.

Every year and a half, I clean up my music drive to make room for the appreciation of new songs but there’s a select few songs and artists that somehow make their way back by the end of every year. I’ve grown tired of having to download them back one by one each year so I cramped them into a handy zipped file to save me time in the future. This is a very self indulgent compilation but I’d thought I’d slap a cover on it and post it on here anyway. Disclaimer, real quick: This is a self indulgent compilation so I went ahead and put in 30+ songs. You’ll find a lot of them - for lack of better word - a little gasgas for your taste but I figure only people old enough to have fallen in love or or or had their periods (?) in the late 90’s and early 2000’s can appreciate how totally ridiculous these songs could make people. 01 Gin blossoms - Follow You Down02 Toad the Wet Sprocket - All I Want03 Deep Blue Something_- Breakfast At Tiffany’s04 Eagle Eyed Cherry - Save Tonight05 Foo Fighters - Times Like These (Acoustic)06 Aqualung - Brighter Than Sunshine07 Better Than Ezra - Good08 Audioslave - Be Yourself09 Nine Days - If I Am10 Paula Cole - I Don’t Want To Wait11 Alanis Morisette - No Pressure Over Cappuccino12 Garbage - You Look So Fine13 Goo Goo Dolls - Here Is Gone14 Dashboard Confessional - Rapid Hope Loss15 Remy Zero - Save Me17 Matchbox Twenty - If You’re Gone18 Gin Blossoms - Til I hear It From You19 Lifehouse - Breathing20 Oasis - Wonderwall21 Jars of Clay - Tea and Sympathy22 The Youth Group - Forever Young23 Smashing Pumpkins - 197924 No Doubt - Running25 Donna Lewis - I Love You Always Forever26 Caedmon’s Call - Love Alone27 Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats28 Collective Soul - Run29 Strays Don’t Sleep - For Blue Skies30 Alice In Chains - Nutshell (Acoustic)31 Switchfoot - You32 Sara Bareilles -Breathe Again Download I really wish I put in some Duncan Sheik and The Cardigans and Weezer and 311 and The Cure and horrehshet what possessed me to forget Paul Mccrane’s Is It Okay If I Call You Mine?

An Ignorance of Three Parts: the first brings fancy’s first tingle. Like the split second silence of disbelief before an exhilaration sweeps across the crowd at the tell-tale first few notes of a song that unmistakably, could not be another of the front act’s. The second, a wandering - through thoughts and daft possibilities with the healthy consciousness that everything just looks without flaw from far enough away. You keep safe distance - certain knowledge can dampen the joy - and make room for scripts that will never be acted out or read or heard. It’s got you unawares all the same. The third, the sudden anticlimax of realizing you’ll never find out. Bittersweet. Some call it a happy crush, I think of it as the odd joy in not knowing.

Dear Old Love (the mixtape), is a mix inspired by this book I read. I made this mix four years ago (of course I didn’t call it Dear Old Love then) but I tweaked it up a bit, made a little coverart and tracklist and added some new songs. So I think it’s a slightly less depressing version of my old mix now. Listen, these are some of my sappiest songs so I hope you enjoy. Oh and sorry in advance if this stirs up some uh… inappropriate feelings of some of yous. I guess that’s exactly what I had in mind when making this.
