ive one word to say about em.....RANDOMIZE!!!!!!

Wow. That's a mix!? That's more like, well, just about everything!

I'm working on a mix tape myself (yes, good old archaic technology, the cassette tape!)--but I figure I'll have at most a total of 20 or so songs. Well-chosen, I hope. Going with the "night listening" theme somebody mentioned in another thread.

That's an awsome mix you got there! Good work.



Yeah, you just gotta love those cassettes. i've always been making my mixes on cassett. no to be ultra-indie or something like that, but I've never owned a cd-burner or a minidisc. Plus, the cassett is a good way of bringing my vinyl tracks on a mix.

Cool

I did a Sonic compilation one day, there was 25 five tracks on it, 1~4 tracks for every album...

Yeah, I'm really enjoying this "mix." More like an anthology, I guess...it's smooooth listening.

I used to really enjoy making mix tapes...I kind of miss it.

I have one, but it's in need of updating as of the EP re-release. Mine as well is well over 4CDs long :(

LISTEN ALL:

A lot of people make lists in chronological order. All you have to do is hit shuffle and there it is. Don't hate on people for that. It's the content, not the order. Even then, the order can be tweaked very easily. If you must criticize, focus on the song selection.

Thanks, dude.

I may hit shuffle, but right now I'm enjoying actually hearing everything in order....I called my mix EVOLution...it was a little exercise in selection and also in hearing how SY changed over the years...listening to everything chronologically made me appreciate it more.
