Mixtape One - June '08

This is the first Autobuffet monthly mixtape and it has a theme then it's anti-apathy; sharpening your arguments, keeping your eyes and ears open even if you hate what's in front of you, formulating your response and going for it, instead of just sitting around getting fatter. Chest-beating political songs are intensely annoying; these are more about a mood of rebellion than a specific event; timeless, if you will.
