This is a re-worked version of a tape I made for a friend who was moving away. Most of the songs are about moving/ leaving, some are just about the open roads, some are about cities and how exciting they are. Half the songs are meant to guilt-trip my friend, and half are meant to show the excitement of going somewhere new. Moving is a double-edged sword, and so is this mix.

| 12 | The Faint : Tandem- City To City |

This is oooold faint, back when they were straight-up indie rock. This song is about relationships and settling down, but the "city" title and the expression of confusion/ moving on definitely fits the tape.

| 17 | Dragonforce : Dawn Over A New World |

Knowing that I depressed the hell out of the listener so far with this tape, I decided to end on a more upbeat note. This is a posi ballad from the kings of power metal about not turning back, and looking forward to a new day.

damnit, damnit, i was planning a lowkey mix that ended with fury of the storm. +5 for teaching me that the early bird gets the DRAGONFORCE.

Scout Niblett is a crazy person and I totally love her for that, but if you don't get it/ appreciate that kind of insanity, I can see why you'd not like her. I also agree that HHH, Postal Service, and The Faint generally suck, BUT these songs of theirs are pretty awesome.

The Level 10 Badge
I saw Scout Niblett live, and I have to say that they suck a lot of ass, but so does hot hot heat, the postal service and the faint. Other then that it's put together pretty nicely. +3

Ending on power metal is awesome. I don't know the song, but I can guess with about 95% accuracy the feel it has: ...awesome.
