After a bit of urging by Josh, I’ve decided to make the first Monday of every month “Mixtape Monday.”

I love mixtapes. I loved creating CD mixes to listen to in my car. Sadest day of my music life when my car was broken into, and all of my CD’s were stolen–including the mixes.

This month’s theme is “Memories,” as I copy Josh in all things awesome, and we decided we’d do themed mixes, so that we have a focus when putting one together, and so a listener has a way to step into our heads for the hour or so that they’re listening to what we put together.

Every song in this playlist is from a CD that I physically own. My memories are tied to these CDs and these songs. Originally I had planned on only doing 10 songs, but how could I say no to the other three? Also, all of these are from high school or earlier–which is the apex of my memories, hense why I seem to only write high school fiction these days.

Throughout the month, I’ll post the memories they pertain to, so as not to make this post four pages long, and to give each memory its due.

And as I write the posts, I’ll link them back up to the song title. So if it’s a link now, it’s an already written memory.
