I went to high school in the suburbs of salt lake city. Fortunately, my school had a radio station and my best friend and I had a radio show. We didn't have the best selection of music, but we made do.Now that I go to college in a different state, I don't get to see her as often as I would like so I made this mix to remember those good old radio shows.
tracklist
| 1 | Norman Greenbaum : Spirit in the Sky |
|
We opened every show with this song. In retrospect, I have no idea why except that we just loved it and did not care if anyone else did.

| 2 | Pixies : Where is my Mind? |
|
We did not have a huge variety of music to play because the administration had to approve music before it could be loaded into our database, and we were also a newer station, so it was a big deal that the pixies were in our database.

| 8 | Kate Bush : Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) |

| 9 | Pedro The Lion : Secret Of The Easy Yoke |
|
There were a few times when I was mad at my best friend and she was doing the radio show by herself. Every time this happened, she would play this song to say she was sorry because it is my favorite song off this Pedro album. I could never stay mad.

| 10 | Modest Mouse : Polar Opposites |
|
My best friend and I were polar opposites in a lot of regards, and though this song isn't really about that, we named our radio show after this song. It was "Polar Opposites with Danielle and Shanelle." Yes, our names rhymed.

| 11 | Outkast : Bombs Over Baghdad (B.O.B.) |
|
The radio station had a blanket ban on rap because most of it was too hard to edit but Outkast had slipped through the cracks. This is just a great song.

I lived in Germany for a summer and missed her so much. I went to a party and heard this song and it meant something to me that it never had before.This song is totally cliched, but it ended up becoming "our song" (one of many)and we ended every show with it.
