Comment:

This is the first mix tape I have made for one of my friends. I tried to load it with songs I know he'd like: "She's Gonna Break Your Heart," "Bad Idea," "8," and "Chopsticks." Also, I selected songs that relate to our friendship. "Super Nice Guys" should have been our theme song throughout the stupid "plight" known as adolescence/high school (What's better for symbolizing that phase of life than a silly third wave ska song?). "Let it Bleed" relates because I always served as his amateur shrink and problem-solver (when he had trouble with girls). Now, he loves his girlfriend very much, and to me, many of the other songs accurately depict my admiration (as well as playful cynicism) of his situation. Overall, I think he'll like the tape and learn to respect a few more artists. I hope so, anyway...
