Mix #15 - Drink, Drank, Drunk

Creator: Cory Popp
Occupation: Film Student
Theme: Drinking
Title: Drink, Drank, Drunk

The first tape!

I haven't seen Cory in a long time, but he was quick to send in a tape. A real, analog, cassette tape. The package showed up in a manila envelop covered in beer labels. When I opened the package and dumped it on the counter, a confetti of beer caps, pop tops, and corks came pouring out. There was a perfect aesthetic to this delivery method.
Inside the tape was packaged in a DYI case that was crafted from old beer 12 pack cases. The track list was inked on the back of a 6 pack. The following was written on the inside of a Stella case:

When to listen to this tape:
To and from the liquor store, when drowning your sorrows after a long day, during happy hour, at AA meetings, at keggers!!!, when your drunk girlfriend shows up at your house unexpectedly to tell you she is going into rehab, and any and all other times, because really, when are you sober
The whole presentation was fantastic, and that is a big part of delivering a mix tape.

The last time I saw Cory, we watched this amazing piece of video.

Here is the music. Enjoy - Have a drink!
