Comment:

A mix for my best friend. I keep promising him one, but I haven't gotten around to it until now. He's hard to make mixes for. He's a huge fan of power pop and catchy songs in general, so I tried to make a tape of popular music that would expand his horizons, yet still be accessible. I don't think I accomplished that, but I still like everything on this mix.

Wow! You got a whole lot of scorchers here although power pop is NOT to be disparaged :) Tried a similar task myself recently and am not particularly sure if I pulled if off either. Wonder how it all fits together but if it does then I reckon you're on to a good thing.
