For YEARS I have been making -- first on tape, now on CD -- mix tapes. (Yeah, I know. Everybody has been.) My mix tapes have usually included movie clips, stand-up comedy snippets, radio bits, and other bizarre items sandwiched around songs I actually want to listen to. I have actually seen people carry my mix tapes around for years. One time, I was tending bar and a girl I knew PULLED A MIX TAPE I HAD MADE OUT OF HER PURSE during the course of our conversation. Kinda weird. Kinda Cool. (Now that I think of it, I need to go back to the archives and recreate some of those tapes on CD...)
Anyhoo, for the last few weeks, I have been assembling a VERY mellow and trippy R&B;/hip-hop/DJ/rap mix that I plan to unleash on my car speakers in a day or so. The source material is VERY varied, but it seems to flow very smoovely through my iTunes, and I fear that it is finally ready to burn. I would like to trade CD mixes of all kinds with any of y'all that are interested. Feel free to post your track listings as comments here, and we can swap. Eventually, when I rejuvenate my categorized post list, I'll add a "CD Mixes" link so you can reference everybody's carefully compiled art and make your deals. A blank CD, mailer and postage costs less than $3.00, which is a lot less than your average crap CD that all of us seem to be buying way too many of these days, anyway. Feel free to add a short narrative as to why you selected what you selected and what the mix might mean, be intended for, etc.
I'd be interested in seeing your lists. Oh, and iPod trades don't count. First of all, they're lazy. And second, you won't let me keep your iPod.
I might even print some of the lists in the paper.
...man this disc sounds good!
