If you can't read that, it says "Ben = Jesus." The other side is blank, but we don't come to the mixtapes for the packaging. (Packaging just makes it all better.) We come for the music.
Side A:
- Avail, "Tuesday"
- Lifetime, "Rodeo Clown"
- J. Church, "No Surprise"
- Blink, "Apple Shampoo"
- Clockwise, "She Was"
- Rocket from the Crypt, "Ball Lightning"
- Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Rascal King:
- The Suicide Machines, "So Long"
- Less Than Jake, "How's My Driving?"
- Plow United, "Plow II"
- Jawbreaker, "Bad Scene"
- Archers of Loaf, "Greatest of All Time"
- Frank Black, "Headache"
- Man or Astroman?, "Transmissions from Venus"
- NWA, "Automobile"
- Fall Victim, "3rd Movement"
- Willis, "Harvey Keitel"
Side B:
- Snapcase, "Caboose"
- By the Grace of God, "Fissures"
- Bad Brains, "Rock for Light"
- Snuff, "Martin"
- NOFX, "Last Caress"
- Ten Foot Pole, "My Wall"
- Downset, "Empower"
- 108, "Solitary"
- Silent Majority, "Polar Bear Club"
- Texas is the Reason, "Back and to the Left"
- Face to Face, "You Lied"
- Mephiskapheles, "Bad John"
- Public Enemy, "911 is a Joke"
- Orange 9mm, "Glistening"
- Christie Front Drive, "Field"
- Gorilla Biscuits, "Time Flies"
- Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Toxic Toast"
So there's a lot here that might sound familiar from other mixtapes, like Texas is the Reason's "Back and to the Left"; others that might sound familiar just because you're culturally aware, like Public Enemy and NWA; and at least one that you probably never heard of, unless you went to my high school--and even then, you might not remember Willis. Willis was a friend's band and whenever I want to hear Jay Travis growl "Harvey Keitel," I know where to find it.
(I can't remember exactly, but Willis was either the later name of, the later form of, or the replacement for their earlier band, Ketchup Enema.)
