My roommate is scared of 'screamy' music. Usually, I'm quite accepting of the requests of my roomates (ie.. keep your music down after 11pm), but the "ummm... can you play that allot softer?" in response to an Amanda Woodward lp at 1pm on a fairly low volume is a bit much. So, I decided to make an ultimate mix tape to play only when he is passed out on the couch asleep in the middle of the day. (Have I mentioned that he sleeps on our couch for days on end and a friend even made a short film/biography starring him about an insomnia that has hallucinations?).

Anyways, back to the mixtape. It makes his eyes go wide, his speech slow to an inaudible speed, and usually makes him leave the house. Horrible, yes I know, but at the same time... oh so entertaining! And all of these are songs I like, so all the better for me.

The cover art is the wonderful view I have out my bedroom window. I was even nice enough to let the roommate have the room that doesn't look into a brick wall and I'm still getting shafted and forced to play my music quietly.
