Fun fact: Alternative music was kind of hard to come by where I lived from 1988-1996 (only rap was harder to find).
When I first went away to college in '96, I had no television and there were no alternative radio stations...only pop songs. I heard the Macarena and some Celine Dion song written by the same guy who writes Meatloaf's songs, aaaaand tuned the dial to NPR for the next five years.
Bonus fact: Many of the songs I do know here, I only know because of mixes that you've sent to me or songs that you played on your show....
I think you should totally upload these songs somewhere so that those of us who want this mix can download them. (Some of the songs I actually have.)
