13 mixes taggedfolk old

...on account of them being so. damn. good.
The Beatles--------Childish Gambino.

So I found some ancient playlists on my iTunes today, and so I pulled out a handful of them and threw them onto here. I'm estimating these songs were listened to a LOT around 2006-2009.

I also suspect that I didn't know much about the art of piracy back then, I'm afraid, so my sweetest condolences about the rubbish quality of some of them. The volume varies as it plays, too. Sorry.

(Side note: I literally do not know why I chose this picture but I just can't resist)

Songs that make me think of my mother. Although I never really knew these songs as sung by the particular artists here, that's mostly because I knew many of these songs by my mother's own voice.
