Comment:

The concept behind this mix is a fairly simple one that turned out to be rather difficult to execute properly. Here's the rules: 1. No repeat artists. 2. Exactly 30 songs, no more, no less. 3. Only GREAT songs, none of that "eh, this song is pretty good" crap, just straight up GREAT music. 4. Minimal blank space left on CD. You can see where this was more than just a matter of sifting through my song collection and grabbing a bunch of random crap, but it was well worth the effort because I'm thoroughly proud of this mix, and you should be proud of stumbling across it. I feel that there's a decent mixing of songs everyone knows with songs very few people know, but I personally guarantee every track of this mix is A1, super-duper sweet. A couple of fun facts: Longest Song="Seam Crooked Sam (3:05)", Shortest Song="Communist Daughter (1:57)", and that last track is off of the "Donnie Darko" soundtrack, nice stuff. Guess that's about it. Good day, sir.

OK, I'll be proud too. Nice rules (framework) and nice execution. Extra points (from this old fart) for 3-6-12-16-17-21-24 (gutsy)-25 and 29. Your musical tastes and knowledge span the aeons! I am impressed with your first two mixes, dude. Keep 'em coming.
