Comment:
Made for Gillian (psst, my girlfriend), who's had more than her share of problems lately. I thought I'd put together some music that she could hopefully connect to, and I hope can make her feel better... even if they aren't all happy songs. Catharsis is a tricky thing. You don't get happier by just listening to happy songs, right? If you listen to happy songs when you're not happy, you just get envious... Anyway, I hope she likes it.Feedback:
normally i don't approve of two tracks by the same artist, especially so obviously placed together, but it really does go with the mix and i like it. also the 14 iced bears is a great pick.
Those two are pretty much one song split into two parts... on the CD, I was going tlist it as one song, "I Was Wrong/You Were Right," but that would have botched the tracklisting. Believe me, I follow the same rule, but in a case like that, I'm not a slave to my own rules. Oh, and Gillian pointed out the same thinwhen she first received the mix.
Hey Patrick, looks really great. I agree about the happy songs thing - if I'm in a sucky mood, I tend to listen to sad songs (esp red house painters, or a new aussie fave, grand salvo), which usually cheers me up!
I agree with Sue. I'm sure this will cheer Gillian up. BTW, Grenadine (which includes Mark Robinson from Unrest) do a song called Gillian, which you might want to check out one of these days. And one other thing, where are my props for the Air Miami song? ;)
Question is, do they pronounce "Gillian" with a G sound or a J sound? Oh, and of course, all props to you for the Air Miami song... there were actually about three other songs from that mix I almost used... she likes Cinerama, but doesn't have the song you gave me... so one day that song will be on another mix for her, I'm sure. I used quite a few songs from other people's mixes, in fact... especially from Brent Aliverti's 2-CD Sarah Records Compilation. That is an AMAZING mix. Did you ever get a copy of that, Ion?
