Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

I am part of a group of people at work that parcipate in a cd swap. There are about 11 of us, and the way it works is that we each make a mix, and make enough copies to give to each person. They usually have different themes that we need to stick to. For the latest mix that I made (I'm actually handing it in tomorrow), the theme was to re-make a soundtrack for the movie of your choice with you whatever songs you want. I chose to make a new soundtrack for the 1998 Terry Gilliam movie, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, which was an adpatation of the semi(?)-autobiographical book by Hunter S. Thompson. I was considering Where The Buffalo Roam, but Fear and Loathing was more tongue-in-cheek druggy, which lent itself easily to a psych soundtrack. Also, Where The Buffalso Roam's soundtrack was done by Neil Young, and quite frankly, you dont fuck with that. I made a zip file of the mix I made, and hopefully it will have transferred without problems.
