Comment:

Every song's title starts with the letter "A". Get it? Good.

I count this as a successful mix because I managed to get underground Rahzel, Johnny Cash and At The Drive In all in the same mix--while still keeping the continuity going.

Note: These aren't necessarily my favorite songs that start with "A". If they were, A Day in the Life by The Beatles would have definately made it. The method of my madness is just that I plug in songs that happen to flow from the previous.

Out of curiosity, is there a method to the madness here? Are these your favorite A songs, or ones you randomly selected, or the only ones you've ever heard, or what? And not to be critical, but as a stickler for grammar, I must question your inclusion of a song that simply uses the adjective word "A"

That aside, nice bunch and cool idea. I'm gonna try it, if you don't mind too much. Oh, and Blackalicious are rad :)

Well, you win the award for exhaustiveness, although I question such an undertaking's artistic merit.

Hah! This reminds me of what I used to do when I'd ask a guest what they wanted to listen to and they'd give the annoying answer, "anything." I'd have them pick a color & a letter; then I'd find an album whose cover featured that color & play a song starting with that letter.

[The other thing I'd do if people said they liked, "anything" is put on Metal Machine Music, Pt. 3 and refuse to take it off - it's really amazing I have any friends at all]
