Me, 5 Years Ago

Posted over 5 years ago
I think you can tell a lot about someone's personality based on their musical preferences. If that's so, then I'd like to introduce you to me, May 26, 2001.This is a momentous day since that was the day I burned my first mix cd. I was in grade 11 and fairly musically obsessive if new to it. This is around the time I started to learn about music that you wouldn't hear on the radio, the internet was proving to be very useful. I was really excited about my new cd burner and took forever putting together what at the time was the perfect mix.Anyway, here is the track listing:1. (Hed) PE - Hey Bartender2. Gob - Paint It Black3. Garbage - Hammering In My Head4. BTK - Peppyrock5. Goldfinger - Here In Your Bedroom6. Weezer - Say It Ain't So7. I Mother Earth - Used To Be Alright8. Wide Mouth Mason - Midnight Rain9. Green Day - When I Come Around10. Scratching Post - Sleepwalking11. Lostprophets - Kobrakai12. Bran Van 3000 - Drinking In LA13. The Romantics - What I Like About You14. Hi Standard - Pink Panther Theme15. Stone Temple Pilots - Vasoline16. Sugar Ray - RPM17. Bif Naked - I Died18. Gandharvas - The First Day Of Spring19. Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons20. 311 - DownAnalysis: I have to say while some of these songs aren't favourites, I do like every track on here. I was smart enough to stay away from the popular music fads of the moment because, after all, a first mix cd should have some longevity. It shows the happy pop side of youth mixed with that wonderful teenage angst that only hard rock can properly express. My only regret- why did I put on two Goldfinger songs? That's like, totally illegal when it comes to good mixes.I think my current self would totally get along with my former self.

I do know that as time went on I didnt go nuts with adding whatever songs happened to be in my head at the time. This was obviously an attempt to get a cd with songs from the tv/radio.
