This mix was ranked #1 out of 23 entries for this contest
description:
This is a 60 minute tape divided into 2 sides. Side A is metal and hardcore (at 29:10), and side B is indie rock (at 28:40).

In addition to the theme, each song runs into each other as per the rules for Mix Contest 1.

I put a lot of thought and time into sticking to the two themes, and I hope you all enjoy this mix!

+5. i wish i could give more than +5, because this is by FAR the best mix yet. Way to completely stay to a theme also. Fantastic job, Alice, FANTASTIC! Atom and His Package is so rad. And I LOVE that Sea and Cake Song (maybe because its a Bowie cover, but I guess I just love the Sea and Cake in general anyways).

Dammit! You have a kick-ass theme AND you followed the rules for the contest? That's totally cheating. It has to be.

Ok, I admit I'm just jealous. This is the BEST contest entry yet, hands down. +5

Wicked cover art, too. Only problem is that it's not impartial to the duel taking place on your mixtape. It's a total metal album cover...
