A flexi mix

I recently discovered the awesome blog I Wish I Was A Flexidisc. This guy has put up a ton a obscure flexis that are mostly from the C86 era. After listening to a few I recognized and wanted to hear I decided to go and download them all and there are certainly some gems. Here is a mix containing 12 of my favorite tracks so far (haven't listened to everything yet). Add this blog to your RSS feed!

Mix #1 - We're Not In It To Lose (Texas Punk)

Time to break away from the stuff I've been posting recently and put up some punk music. Forget indie pop ever happened and pogo to this little mixtape I whipped up. Special thanks to KBDrecords and Good Bad Music for some of these tracks. I'll definitely do more of these "small scope" mixes in the future (mostly out of necessity as the website I found only supports eight tracks).

4. Ultimate Orgasm - Non Compos Mentis
