Okay, so, I wasn't really into alot of this music. The songs are very obscure and not stuff I would normally listen to. There were a few songs I liked: "Moles," "Apart of me" and a few others. A lot of it was instrumental or just really really old. There was an instrumental one on here that Portishead clearly sampled so that was kind of cool to hear.
So, I struggled making my mix because I got rid of 99% of my cds last summer. I have a few stragglers though, so I had to use those. I don't normally repeat artists so much on mixes, but I had to do that alot here (good artists though!!!! although I put Chief Keef on there just to be an asshole)

Hey, I'm doing a report on Elephant Mixtapes for my school paper, the Columbia Chronicle. If you'd be willing to answer a few questions, I'd love to arrange a quick phone interview sometime about the tape you found! E-mail me at richard.homuth@loop.colum.edu if you can!
