Comment:

If I haven't been overly obvious, the theme of this mix is fame. It was inspired by yet another failed attempt at love. I wanted to show that while fame may start off being a spectacular experience, it does not at all mean that any life is worth more than another's.

This is the first mix that I have ever made. Thank you to my lovely friend Anthony for showing me this site, as well as showing me how enjoyable making mixes can be!

super glad you decided to post this to AOTM, as i'm sure you'll find everyone here to be quite communal in their spirits. gave this a listen last night & it came out really good - i love how it opens especially, the b&s & fab four tracks, & that whole 6-11 stretch is gorgeous.

good Magnetic Fields, Mountain Goats and Nick Drake picks... and quite a few here I'm not too familiar with, but since it's passed through Anthony's approving ears, I bet it's a keeper. nice artwork too; looking forward to mix number two. welcome to the site!

Celluloid Heroes, indeed!
Another one that might fit in nicely with these picks would be Dan Bern's "Marilyn".
