Comment:

This is for a young chap I met recently.

We've agreed to swap tapes and spent ages on the phone discussing the various rules associated with making a mix, the most complicated of which is that you shouldn't put a track on a compilation if it was inherrited from a compilation someone made for you, or if you've used it on a compilation for someone else.

This makes perfect sense 'cause you both get a tape consisting entirely of songs that are specifically picked for you, rather than around a general theme of 'aah, I like your face' which could be directed at anyone. But it's also been a pain coming up with 90 minutes of 'original' material and still trying to look half-way cool. To my eternal credit, this tape does not featue Meatloaf's 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light', even though it does take 8 minutes 21 seconds.
