I have never thought I have ϋber-cool music taste to qualify as a music snob. That said, I have always defended my musical tastes. And openly mocked others, of course, for bad song selection. (For instance, Miami by Will Smith is NOT a cool song. Sorry.) Until now.
The other day my BF and I were heading out to take advantage of some post-holiday sales at the mall and I had to run up to my apartment to grab something. He asked me to get a CD to listen to in the car. Because I think I am funny, I instead went for my high school spring break mix tape. Upon reaching the car I realized I had accidentally gotten a mix tape from a spring break trip in 1998 where I went on a work trip to Alabama. (Can you tell I was big on mix tapes back in the day?)
Now I remember that Alabama work trip and the reaction my mix tape received from fellow travelers. Their reaction was full of mockery, as a recall. And at the time I was indignant. Indignant, I say! After all, I had out some choice items on the mixes (yes, there were two –- part one and part two) and was willing to share them with the group while we cooked our communal dinners. If you don’t bring music to share, then I don’t think you are in a place to mock other people. Right?
Man oh man. So the BF and I were in the car listening to the tape and wow. I am no position to make fun of mix tapes that always contain at least one instance of Miami. See below for a play list I KNOW you are going to want to steal for your next party.
By the way, I still defend the inclusion of Oochie Coochie. That is a damn good song.
