Story of our Lives Vol. 1

The first real post will be a download opportunity; It's a two-parter, on filesharing sites that doesn't have ridiculous limits. The files are from a mixtape that I put together in the summer of 1992, after some of my friends from the previous three or four years had drifted away, or, in the case of my closest friend at the time, joined the Air Force. It's mostly music that meant something more to me than the usual tune on the radio.
I had always held music closer to my heart than most, and some songs have a strong emotional and nostalgic pull to them. The mixtapes are either long lost or broken, but a powerful memory for things that aren't really important to essential life is a facet of mine; thus, I was able to piece together most of the 11 volumes of mixtapes covering 1989 to 1998. The first, which I'm giving to you, covered 1989, 1990, and some of '91, I think. I'm not going to describe the importance of these songs right now; I want to see if anyone downloads and listens to them first.
