Playlists

I miss being able to share fan soundtracks and mixtape-like things online, but of the ones I can still share, here are some I made.

Please note that a lot of the covers for the 8tracks playlists do not appear, but they should play fine. (And if not, just click through. Any covers and/or track listing graphics were made for the FST community on LiveJournal.

Another deleted 8tracks playlist. Somehow, I didn't save the tracklist for this one when 8tracks imploded, but I still had it in my iTunes and was able to find everything on Spotify. However, because I don't have the 8track list, I forgot the title of the playlist (it has a different one in iTunes), so I had to give it a new one.
