Comment:

To answer the question: yes. This mix has several points. (But then, a point in every which way is the same as no point at all... damn!)1. I owe my friend Matt another mix.2. I decided that, as I have not done my radio show in quite a while (due to lack of communication with our advisor), I would make the mix spontaneously, without any planning beforehand.3. NO TRACK ONES. Seriously, if you look at some of my other mixes, it's a never-ending track 1, track 1, track 1. (The only exception being "A To B" which was released online and therefore not a "track" at all.)The title evolved from my idea to use short clips from Harry Nilsson's "The Point!" to begin each side. For some reason I used a bit about "The Land of Point" for side A and a bit about "The Pointless Forest" for side B. (But then Nilsson says that the time it takes to get to the Pointless Forest is the same as the time it takes to sing a song. Then I play "A To B." Clever, eh?)I am quite proud of this mix, most likely due to the fact that it was spontaneous. If I ever get my damn radio program back, I'm ready for it.Oh, and I have a new tape recorder. (Actually, it's my younger brother's. Same model. He never uses the cassette. He just listens to Rush and Fear Factory albums on the CD player.)
