Hope everyone had a good and safe Labor Day. To start off, I would like to recognize an error I made in last week’s mixtape – Jeff Buckley’s track on the B-Side is listed as “Grace” but should really be “So Real.”
This week, we have the oldest song so far on the mixtape by a band that was really ahead of their time. The rest is our usual mix of hits/classics and hidden gems spanning five decades, including tracks from The Police, R.E.M., Beastie Boys, and Nirvana.
