90s nostalgia.

Fresh. from 4L150N on 8tracks Radio.


So, continuing the theme of nostalgia... here's my ultimate 90s rock/alternative hits playlist.
And although it's rather old, I've recently stumbled upon a couple of YouTube videos about the 90s tag, and that combined with my playlist inspired me to do my own. So, here it is!

Kitty Kitty Kittens, Tomagotchi/Nano Pets, My Little Pony, & Skydancers.

Spirit of Adventure. from 4L150N on 8tracks Radio.

If there's anything I love, it's a good playlist. I discovered 8tracks a few years ago and have been hooked ever since. Not only can you make your own themed playlists, but there are no commercials and the possibilities are virtually limitless. I made this playlist, Spirit of Adventure (named after the zeppelin in Disney's animated feature "Up"), a few months ago and love it even more with every listen.

It's composed entirely of musical scores and compositions from different films--many of which are among my favorites. There's just something about instrumental music that makes every hair on my body stand on end. With each of these songs, I'm revisited by every feeling I felt while viewing the movie for the first time. It's crazy how something as simple as a song can bring back such vivid emotions. I can't explain it any other way.

If you haven't explored 8tracks, it's time to get on it! It truly is fantastic.

I hope you enjoy my mix! ^_^
