Tuesday Mixtape: Frrrriends vol. 2

Timmy Ryder!!! - Boy oh boy, what can I say about Timmy Ryder? I taught him at CSz about 5 years ago. He's a great guy and into music that is the neighbor to all the music I listen to... It's weird (that explanation), but true. We like similar styles of music, but don't really listen to the same bands. There's some cross over, but for the most part - every conversation I remember having with Tim about music we never really connected. So here's my shot at a mixtape for you, Timmy. It's mainly a lot of new bands I've been getting into. I have no idea if you'll enjoy it as a whole, but I'm certain you'll like parts of it. Let me know what you think!

Heck yeah! We're music neighbors! I can't wait to listen to this jam.

To be fair, I think the reason we never quite connected musically is this: you bring up a band in conversation, I don't really know them, then I get into them about 3 months later. You're just always ahead of the curve, Bladewig.

Thanks for this!

I always assumed it was because you were into bands I had never heard of, but you're younger - so I had to catch up. Different curves!
