Comment:

Hello again. I would apologize for spending the entire night re-vamping my previous mix, but of course everyone here "gets it." :-) I thought I could do better than my previous mix for the girl that had a crush on me and moved up here with her live-in boyfriend. But I still wanted to keep the theme intact - a musical document of the games she plays and the mixed signals flying back and forth. I feel significantly better about the musical and thematic flow of this mix. Anyways, if anyone sees something better about the previous mix that I could incorporate into this one by all means speak up. I love feedback of any kind. Thanks for the comments on the other mix. And by the way, I took the title from a Richard Thompson song that didn't make the final cut.

Really this is just a fantastic theme -- all particular and poignant as any necessity says. I highly enjoy and can relate to your artist selection, and who would have thought that those two Bob Dylan songs that (I'd say) get lost in the midst of their source albums, both a couple of the best ever, would make it onto the same mix? I love that Zevon song and Young recording and... well I'm certainly glad Peter Gabriel is there to warp things around his own barber-pole finger a tad. Keep it up!

Oh, yeah: If you're still on the lookout for software to do fadeins/outs with, I've been using Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net) for a couple years now; I started using it only to fade tracks in and out and I've moved on to, perhaps, quite wilder things (as well as what is, for me now, the absolutely necessary skill of manual volume equalization between tracks on a mix). Good luck with everything -- I hope it all gets straightened out!

Thanks a lot for the suggestion re: Audacity. I downloaded it today and was able to equalize the volume between tracks and make it sound even better. After putting so much time into the mix I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't just give her a copy after all...what's the worst that could happen? There's too much good music on here to keep to myself!!!!
