Comment:
I threw this together in half an hour for my friend Joey. I rushed to get it all done so that when I saw him that night, I could give it to him...and he ended up not even coming! Oh well, it was a hasty mix anyway.So, the same as with my last mix for him, To Frost King From Satan, I put together a bunch of music I thought he'd like with a few old favorites sprinkled about to keep his interest. And while the Scissor Sisters' take on "Comfortably Numb" may not be my first choice of their songs to show to someone, I used it because I thought it would ease him into their sound more gently.
And although as a general rule I don't put more than one song per artist on a mix, I've made concessions in the past for AFI. This mix is no different, because not only do I appreciate their music very much, so does Joey.
Actually, this mix breaks a few of my "rules"...but it's good to flex a little, right? The main goal for this wasn't to make a perfectly balanced mix, it was to introduce a friend to new music. So hopefully he'll be open-minded about it!
Feedback:
I likeeverything on here I know, and I happen to love that Scissor Sisters' cover. I'm not a fan of the original, y'see, but shhhhh-it's a secret.
Almost forgot - "In Bloom" is in my top five Nirvana songs. awesome mix all 'round.
War Pigs!!!
Love Burns!!!
