Comment:

The title is kind of lame and it might have been a good idea to leave off the last track, but apart from that, I really love this mix. I made this last winter for a girl I went to high school with. Back in the day, I had given her a tape of some stuff I was enjoying at the time. Two or three years ago, she told me she had just found that tape somewhere the week before and gave it a few listens and found it extremely beautiful but also incredibly sad. Curious to what it was and in the absence of a track listing, I asked to borrow the tape - and failed to return it for ages. When I finally remembered to give it back to her, I also gave her this mix cd, which I tried to make both more beautiful and more sad than the original tape. Artists that were already on the tape were excluded from the mix, so if you are wondering why there are, e.g., no Replacements on this mix (which would be a very legitimate question), that's why.
