Tucker's Dj Mixtape Podcast

I had to dig deep into my CDs collection for this mix. 1997 was a dope year. I was living the life in San Diego serving on the USS Constellation. San Diego had a sweet music scene along with a great local rock station (91X, still there and dope as ever). This mix consists of bands that I was banging hard in my Discman that year. Some of them I found on my own and some were pushed on me by enthusiastic fans at the time. Quicksand came to my attention due to the skinny, gap punk, a-hole who used to date my sister and with whom I was stuck on a cross country road trip that year. Veruca Salt were my pretend girlfriends at the time, and some nice young lady who I met in Australia later mailed a mixtape to me with much of the first Powderfinger CD on it, for instance. All of these bands were slept on in their day. P.S. In 1997, I was obsessed with Ænima but feel that Tool is too mainstream for this mix so they're represented by the ridiculous opening track. Enjoy and be careful as you rock out with your thing out:
