resurrected music

we cleaned our back room pretty thoroughly the other day. in our back room i came across my shoebox full of casettes. these are magnetic strips of tape encased in plastic casing that were inserted into a tape player usually in a car for me and then one enjoyed the recorded content of the tape, much like a compact disc, cd. needless to say i found two of my favorite tapes. one by silvio rodriguez dominguez and another was a mix tape my sister made for me. silvio rodriguez was a contemporary of the revolutionary Che. A Cuban folk musician who today is still very active in the socialist arena of Cuba. his songs ar eloaded with love, politics and passion and some sweet guitar. the other was a mix tape fromm my sister. it has on it some pearl; jam, indigo girls, chrissy hines and the pretenders, grateful dead, cat stevens, joni mitchell, and others. needless to say i am pretty stoked. i also was able to take an old scratched Jawbreaker CD that i put in the cd player once every 3 months to see if the status had changed, but no luck scratches everytime, so i took the cd and tried ripping it onto the computer and walla, no scratches it is now on the ipod and will eternally be enjoyed. jawbreaker was an east bay punk melodic driving punk band of thee early to mid 90's. amazing.
