MUSIC: Tracklist to some mixed tapes

My car has a tape deck, so I'’ve been listening to my old cassettes including the mixed cd'’s I made in my college days, my days in Africa and my days after I returned home before I could afford something to burn cd'’s on. Therefore, they'll be listed on the side bar as a tape I'm listening to, so I thought I'd let you known what's on them. I'll put them on the blog as I listen to them.
