Apr 26, 2025 While I'm here and have some time (aka procrastinating literally my last non-exam assignment of the school year), I'll do what I have been too busy to do the last week and a half and talk about these tracks from my mixtape and why I selected them. I know it's not my week anymore but still, I like to talk about my selections and why. Gonna put it all in a spoiler tag because I have no clue how long it'll go on, feel free to read if you'd like Spoiler: Why I Picked These Songs for EFFM 1. No More ?'s - I wanted Eazy on here, and spent a bit trying to find the perfect track. I almost did Nobody Move, but felt No More ?'s worked much better as an opener. Just gets you right into the tape 2. Everlasting Bass - My dad ALWAYS blasted this song in his car whenever he wanted to play something bass heavy, and with Like That dropping last year, it brought memories of that back. I played Like That for him and I saw one of the biggest smiles on his face and that memory sticks with me a year later. This song to me is a song that bridges a gap between generations now, and will always hold a special place in my heart. Also I just realized I worded a lot of this like my dad passed, don't worry he's perfectly fine lmfao 3. Sunset Driver - My friend put me onto this song in senior year and it always reminds me of senior year and high school, which is funny considering it's an MJ song from the 80's. I wanted MJ on here, but didn't wanna throw a basic and obvious track from him on here, so this track worked perfectly. 4. Dancing Queen - Honestly, they have just been spamming this song at work so it has been in my head for months. Classic track and deserved a spot regardless. 5. We Got The Beat - Just a catchy and fun track, what more can I say? One of those songs I get addicted to for about a week or two and then falls out of rotation for about a year and finds its way back. 6. I'll Be Loving You (Forever) - 70's-90's mixtape...how was I not gonna include a boy band? This is one of my mom's favorite songs ever, and a track I have seen live from NKOTB a couple times. I really love this track and I was excited to see how this group in particular would react lmfao 7. Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey - I was shocked to discover how popular this song already was, because I had never heard it before last summer. My friend put me on to this song and it would always come on in the car on the way to work, so this song just reminds me of the summer. 8. Wheel in the Sky - Another case of wanting an artist in here, but not wanting a conventional song from them. While this song is popular, it is not talked about nearly as much as other Journey tracks. Great track! 9. Baby Blue - Yeah, Breaking Bad. You caught me. 10. Call Me - I f---ing LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH. I heard this song for the first time on Bride of Chucky and it has been stuck in my head for at least a decade now. It's so so so good and I'm glad y'all agreed with me on that. 11. Bad Reputation - I have loved Joan Jett for years, and I just figured this track worked perfectly where I needed it in the mixtape. Was considering I Hate Myself for Loving You, Crimson and Clover, or Cherry Bomb. 12. Sabotage - This track, like Bad Reputation, just felt like it fit there. 13. My Own Summer (Shove It) - Been on a small Deftones kick lately, and I know this is pretty much their biggest song (I think), but it blended in here with some of the harder tracks. 14. Heart-Shaped Box - I knew I had to calm it down a bit to close out the tape, so I figured this classic song that goes back and forth between chill a--- singing to hard rock worked perfect. RIP Kurt you genius. 15. Wish You Were Here - Everything I can say about this track was said by y'all, and it would have been the closing track had I not been set on... 16. Nothing Else Matters - This song was always going to be the outro to this tape, it's too perfect of an outro to not happen. Love Metallica so so much (AND I GET TO SEE THEM LIVE TWICE NEXT WEEK HOLY FUUUUCK)

Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love I wanted to show some love some stuff i think had a chance of not being shown off in these playlists instead of the usual route i was originally going to go which was in the more pop punk and classic rock sounds. I figured it would be fun to do a mix between some soft synthier rock and pop of the time mixed with some more fun r&b and club cuts. I also took this as an opportunity to give love to the japanese city pop wave. I was too busy to work out some of the sequencing kinks i think there are, but i love these songs too much to take any off and I hope y'all enjoy nonetheless!
