Yeah... So I've become Mix Tape guy again...

Eclectic and unholy mixes of songs that string together emotion and sentiment and sometimes, just sometimes, actually sound pretty good. Playlists that make people cringe just looking at the titles and others sit there and go, "hey, i know those guys, but i've never heard of..."

Quote from High Fidelity:
"The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules..."

So right...
