Comment:

Okay, so here is a spontaneous mix from the top of my head for the mix idea posted by Muzg in the bulletin board. I saw Michael Steinmetz's mix for the same theme and it led me to Muzag's posting. Some of my choices are kind of obvious, but I did this in about ten minutes so I was pretty much using what popped into my mind first. Here are the categories with my comments on some of the tracks in parenthesis...

1. A track that annoys animals
2. A track with French connections (recorded in France)
3. A track that is visual as much as it is musical
4. A track by an artist you regard as underappreciated
5. A track that should be used in an advert (you may like to suggest what it should advertise)
6. A track that mentions a colour in the title
7. A track from a favourite instrumentalist
8. A track that's a "guilty pleasure" but that you don't feel guilty about _at all_
9. A track predominantly featuring someone named Philip, George, Arthur or Keith (Phil Anselmo)
10. A track by a classical composer/artist who you'd like more people to listen to
11. A track from the oldest album in your collection (I think the Singles soundtrack is probably the album I've had and not sold/repurchased for the longest peroiod of time)
12. A track you like that was introduced to you by a friend with normally appalling musical taste
13. A track featuring only the artist and his/her instrument
14. A track to make people stop talking and start listening (who doesn't like Stevie Wonder?)
15. A track that is amongst the quietest that you own (whilst not being entirely silent)
16. A track that reminds you of a specific moment in your childhood ("glory days" with a best childhood friend)
17. A track that is religious
18. A track that mentions a meteorological phenomena in the title
19. A track in a musical style that you don't normally like but do like in this case (not a big country fan but I always liked this)
20. A track you think/know your grandparents would like (this was thier song)

This is a good idea for a mix and I hope to see others doing this as well. I may make another version of this when I have time to sit and think it out properly.

Nice ecclecticism and strategery. I amy remix mine too. How funny that the Singles Soundtrack fits the #11 hole for both of us. You know, I wasn't even thinking jazz with instrumentalists I was mainly thinking drummers and guitarists and maybe Jaco. Nice picks!
