I love going on road trips with my friends. We listen to music and reminisce about shows we’ve gone too and all the great music that has graced our lives. I don’t know how many shows I’ve gone to in my life it has to be around 500. Maybe that’s an exaggeration but it definitely feels like that many if not more. Let’s just settle on, I’ve seen a ton of bands.
We tell stories stories about seeing Ink & Dagger in someones basement and getting that first 7″ vinyl that only 200 or so where made with a cover hand made by one of the members. We talk about bands like Drive Like Jehu and the amazing guitar work that leads too Rocket From The Crypt and seeing Rocket at the 31st Pub and we are only a foot away from these music gods with only 100 other people in the room. The conversation circles back to Hot Snakes which has two members of Drive Like Jehu. We can go on and on for hours about music and we do.
We always agree that our all time favorite band is Sunny Day Real Estate. Here’s this weeks Muxtape inspired by that road trip. I apologize for the quality of some of the songs they are from vinyl and I can’t even remember how I got them converted to mp3.
