Mix CD Gems.

So I made a lot of mix cds as a young middle school kiddo to listen to as I walked my paper route. I have discovered many of these CDs while cleaning out my room these past two days and let me tell you, middle school me had some interesting combinations on these cds. Some of the favorites are as follows

Titled: MiA’s TuNeS 

1. Ocean Breathes Salty- Modest Mouse
2. Float On- Modest Mouse
3. 100 Years- Five For Fighting
4. Tessie- Dropkick Murphys
5. Set You Free- The Black Keys
6. Love You So- The Black Keys

10. American Idiot- Green Day

Good God that is quiet the mix. I can see my 7th grade self walking down the street throwing papers at houses, jamming out to Ashlee Simpson because she understood my adolescent woes.

Also no fucking clue why funkytown is on there. Everything else: hilarious. 

Anyone got any guilty pleasures from back in the day? Did anyone watch the Ashlee Simpson show too and then get hooked on her music?

Can we just take in this gem I found while cleaning out my closet?

Yes that is an N’sync: Popodessey Live tour DVD.

and yes I plan on watching it this evening.
