So......what's someone's favorite mix tape to get? I make mix tapes for people all the time because I'm a nerd. The best mix tape I ever got was from this girl when I was still a young lad in school.

Songs with meaning. No one's ever made me a mix tape or CD. boofuckinghoo.

i thought you were part of the mixtape trade thing

I made a Wildhearts compilation last week, pretty damn good.

Alright, I'm going to give the first five songs on this tape I'm making.....it's for a friend who is trying to impress this girl who seems to be a bit luke warm to his intentions, but when she's pisshed, she's totally snogging him all night. Tell me if you think this is good.

1. Mogwai-R U Still In 2 It?
2. The Walkmen-Hang On Siobahn
3. Franz Ferdinand-Auf Asche
4. Arab Strap-The Shy Retirer(Disco Hospital Mix)
5. Morrissey-I Am Hated For Loving

that's an awfully subdued opener

w/ a mixtape, you need a track that'll instantly grab the attention of the listener

"r u still into it?" is awesome, but it isn't very immediate

judging from what materials i know you have to work with, i'd stick the walkmen's "the rat" or gwai's "hunted by a freak" on first

edit: fuck, looking at yr listening to section, throw in something off of the middle third of echoes, surely!

that'll grab her by the throat and hurl her around the room

I always get mixed CDs from people, but they are never labeled so they all get mixed up and you can never find the one you want to listen to cos they all look the same...

but its not like one of lifes main worries

[qzdiablo]

you don't have to be special to get a mixtape

you just need to own a tapedeck

[Dead Anyway]

You need to stick Gorecki by Lamb on any mixtape.
