Comment:

Made for a friend of mine who teaches high school math. He was hosting a puzzle-solving event and wanted a mix CD to play at the party afterward. This was my attempt to make a mix of songs that would be appreciated by high schoolers who like solving puzzles. You know...fellow geeks. In the actual event, the solving ran long and I believe the "party" lasted about 15 minutes. But I'm still fairly fond of the mix.

Her fanny is ace! Math is hard, but the mix looks great. Sorry that everyone split before the Postal Service delivered. Hope we can work out a trade sometime this year!

Sting was a teacher before he joined the Police and became a rocker. He said both professions are pretty much the same; you're standing in front of a room full of juvenile delinquents trying to keep them entertained.

Lots of great selections here. I don't see the Lilys at AoTM too often but they have some really good stuff. Nice work, DJ.

Outstanding Lilys pick!!! And a lot more great ones too, at least you got a great mix out of the request. That's a solution!

The request sort of gave me permission to to produce a mix that was more mainstream than my usual, and I like periodically making mixes that sorta sound like they weren't made by me. The mini-theme at the end was partly a happy accident...that is, I didn't go looking for HS-themed songs, but when they turned up on CDs I wanted to use, and on great songs, it was too good to pass up.

Great mix. And yeah, the Lilys aren't really seen often enough here.

This looks like a lot of fun - perhaps you could play it at some other puzzle-related events; adult geeks enjoy a good pop tune, too.

Well spotted, Mandie. The Hudsucker Proxy it is indeed.

Truly one of the coolest mixes I've ever seen. I can't even begin to highlight the best parts because that's all it consists of
