MASTODON MIXTAPE

Hey Mastodonians, it’s been a long, long time since I’ve done a Friday Night Mixtape post. But here we are, and it’s time once again to create another old-fashioned community mixtape — just like we used to do in the olden days.

Tonight’s theme is going to be music that takes you back. How far back? You decide. Post a song or songs that always manage to transport you back in time and what it reminds you of.

Be sure to ad #MastodonMixtape to your responses.

Here's one of my contributions.

This always takes me back to the late 80s and early 90s. In college I was living in a Gilded Age-style home with a slightly older gay couple, and there was wisteria growing out back. This song takes me back, and it always reminds me of wisteria.

My Dead Can Dance intro was on a shuttle bus in the Breckenridge ski resort parking lot, in about 1994. The bus driver was playing “American Dreaming”, which was hauntingly beautiful. I got to see them live 2 years later.

@MrBirch I wasn't sure I could remember that one in particular. Listening on YouTube right now.

@dyami Very early 90s, I think. People were always speculating on Michael's sexuality.
