I’ve been making a pile of mix cds lately. I owe them to at least Mandi, Genie and Lisa. I’ve been really slack in doing them though.
I made an NZ music mix cd and have been listening to it for 3 days in a row now, trying to decide if these are the songs I really want to put out there for all to hear to reflect songs I like locally.
The key thing is actually less about the songs themselves but the production values of one song to the next. Some sound more… polished than others. Side by side, it makes otherwise awesome songs sound a little flat.
I tend to stick to pretty simple formulas when making a tape for others. I guess I mean with like, the types of songs I open with, and end with. How track 7 always seems to be a song I am totally in lust with. Lust because the way I adore songs seems to be like, I am obsessed for a month or two, constantly playing it, then all of a sudden I have a new song, and I don’t think about the old song again in that way.
