A college rock mix brought to you by the letter 'C'

Why did I do this? Why would I make a mix cd with no sense or purpose? Why choose a random letter and go from there? Well, the answer, for arguement's sake, is that last week I had a head cold and I was hopped up on meds. I wanted to hear Cabaret Voltaire, so I grabbed their 1987 album Code, which is out of print and going for an average $75 for used copies (glad I have mine still). I had this idea that, maybe I would start there, in order with the letter 'C', and make a mix cd of stuff from my high school days, which was in the time of the term college rock. High school, college, whatever. They were great years for me, and these songs were a vital part of those years. The results are as follows, as if you care. This week's letter will be, I think, 'D'. Get it? CD? Er, yeah.

Please note: I am trying to upload a nice picture of the letter 'C', but Blogger is being a real bastard right now.
