High School Evolution

This documents my High School journey from pop punk to a brief stint in guitar blues/john mayer (sorry), to the day I bought an Iron & Wine CD on a whim while vacationing in Destin, FL, to my Nick Drake stage (which led me to college).

I tried to be as honest as possible about my high school tastes while still making this mix listenable. Because a straight up mix from my 17-year-old self would NOT have been listenable.

let's get those NEEERRRDDDS

THIS WEEK:

Songs for your nerdy, pimply, high-school self. Songs you rambled around in your shitty car listening to, probably smoking crappy weed and eating chili dogs.

nobody reads this but me and r. helly.

my grandma used to always sing me the shortnin' bread song when i was a kid. she still hums it all the time. i wonder if she does that only when i'm around as some pavlovian response?

FUD

After undergrad, I gave up on living the dude's life of a thousand sweaty dude roommates and instead decided to branch out on to my own. Sharing a crappy townhouse on 14th street in Bloomington with 5 other dudes may be fun for while, but it can get kind of horrible. Like when all of your food is constantly eaten or your roommate who never cleans his room or anything else gets brown recluse spiders in his room and almost has an arm amputated.

So anyway, living on my own taught me a lot about self-sufficiency. Sharing household resources amongst a bunch of people limits the amount of time you want to spend in the kitchen, so you tend to eat simple things that can be microwaved. Once I was out on my own, with my own kitchen, I learned that I have a deep and abiding curiosity for cooking.

So after that long, rambling set up, THIS WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT: Songs about food, eating, tasting, etc.*

*Plz limit 2 Cibo Matto songs per mix.
