AHHHHH FUCK FUCK FUCK!

how does one do line breaks? i haven't even tried,

this is a test.

working?

no.

that worked. what is the problem with you guys?

look what i can do!

just by pressing enter!

Line 1
Line 2

Line 3 (with 2 enters after it)

I love that whole album. That particular song fit the mood of the mix.

I'm guessing your mood was 'cute songs for cute people'.

pretty much.

but then i made this to send with it:

1. Boards Of Canada - Corsair
2. My Bloody Valentine - Sometimes
3. Baleen - Perfect
4. Bonnie Prince Billy - I See A Darkness
5. Magnetic Fields - Papa Was A Rodeo
6. Caetano Veloso - It's A Long Way

16. Belle & Sebastian - Dress Up In You
17. Manic Street Preachers - Suicide Is Painless
18. Divine Comedy - Mother Dear

I like your mixes, onion. I do.

But, they're a bit on the long side. I like a good 14 track mix.

I like to fill a CD and give my listener their money's worth.

I'm thinking about making a second 'sad' themed mix like that one because there's so many awesome sad songs.

But by putting too much music onto one cd, you lessen the chances of them absorbing the whole thing.

It depends on the person, though, JS.

If I was making a powerpop compilation or something, there's no way I'd make it over an hour - that'd be like, 30 songs. Or a punk compilation. But for a general theme, I'll make a long mix and give some genre variety in there.

Who is this mix for?

None of your business. ;)

Do you have a crush?

And if I did? ;)

that they're unlikely to know

problem. or of the few things, a very incohesive mix.

What do you put on a mix tape for someone who knows so much music it is frankly intimidating? I've never struggled so much.

mixtapes do not have to consist of 'obscure' material. if you think this, you are limiting yourself greatly. there are so many other options

oh no, but half of the fun of mixtapes is that you're finding out about new stuff, too. I don't want it to be some mash up of his existing library. I think I'm over thinking it too, might just find a theme and run with it.

some mash up of his existing library.

nothing wrong with this if it makes them feel something. my personal favourite is 'will this make them want to take off their shirt and dance?'

also consider actual 'mash-ups', overdubbing etc. be creative
