93 and 94: Whitfield Roommates

I composed, burned, and packaged these two mixes at the same time.

The Cover: I used a photo of my girlfriend and her two roommates for the cover, because they looked vaguely like a lo-fi indie rock trio. I gave the two mixes titles from random quotes of the week which I have totally forgotten.
