Mixology: Rockin' the Hiz-zouse!!

Mixology is a recurring feature in which I take a look at one of the many mix tapes I made over the years. Some are better than others, but all of them are fun to revisit.

Rockin' the Hiz-zouse!! (6/17/98)

This is one of the few mix tapes I have that was actually made by someone else, namely my good buddy Phil. I had forgotten I even had it until last week when I found it among a bunch of other tapes.

He loves music as much as I do and it shows in this tape, which is an excellent combination of classic rock and newer (at the time) stuff. He even threw some Coltrane on the second side, which was an inspired choice.

I own most of the music on this tape, but there's a few songs I don't have, like the ones by Tori Amos, Dead Milkmen and Jerry Harrison. All things considered, a good collection that I was glad to rediscover.
