It has played a big part of my life - senior year HS, LMU, commuting to internships, joining a band, and starting at Universal.
It was bound to happen though. And to commemorate the old Pimpmobile, I am going to share with you the old mixtape that got me through all the traffic and long commutes between Hollywood and LMU; the summer I worked at RECA and the following year that I interned at Capitol.
You may laugh at this mixtape - oh, and it was definitely an actual cassette - but I loved it. I made it, hoping that it would be a mix that I would never grow tired of. Of course my taste is much more expansive than this little tape but when I listened to it yesterday, it still holds true that I’m not tired of this mix.
Goodbye, BMW. You will be missed.
