Mix tapes and CDs

Ok, has anyone seen High Fidelity? You know when Rob goes to make a mix tape for a friend. How it's a delicate process. I've just undergone this. Being a music lover, it's surprising that I've never really made one before.

I tried to combine artists like The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Blondie with some girl pop-- Kelly Clarkson, Duffy and of course I had to represent some local bands I knew, or listened for a while...those bands being Chicago's Oh My God, and Breathing Underwater. Harder than it looks, and also try to fit all these amazing songs onto one CD. Now that's a challenge. This was for my younger cousin, by the way.

I had to delete song songs, some fillers and helpers to the transistion songs. It somehow sounds fine.

It's the first time I ever made one. It is so much fun, revisiting all the music you've loved during your musical love again...
Forgot about some great artists.

It's fun, choosing songs for a person that'd you'd like to send them.

Music really is the greatest thing. I was talking with a few friends at the time, having a YouTube video recommendation war for about an hour...very fun. I was also talking to a friend of mine that's a musician-- about love of music. Making mix CDs reminds me of it.

Everyone should make one at some point in their lives.
