There are lots of reasons people make mixes, and on this week's Blank Cassette, friend of the Nerds Gary Lucy covers a lot of them with his Mix Understanding! From songs carefully taped off the radio to crushes to long drives and more, Gary's got a lot of stories to share and some great songs to go with them!
