Comment:

This is the mix I made for the "mystery girl" before I posted the Mystery Girl Mix Challenge in the discussion forums.

The full thread is here

In essence, it's a challenge to make a mix for someone based on knowing very little about that person. This mix is for a friend whom I'd like to be more than just a friend.

This mix, like her, is full of energy, which makes it easy to dance to. Whether it's prancing (Buggin'), shufflin' (Jerk It Out) or fist-pumping (Speakers Push The Air), she should be able to move to it.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the challenge.

You've got some nice picks on here. I'm digging the Ben Lee and Flaming Lips especially. Hope it won your ladyfriend over.

If this doesn't win her over, well, I don't know what would.

Man I feel you, I'm in the same kind of thing...this girl who I have been making mixes for...it's a hit and miss thing. But the more you get to know her, the better the mixes will be. Good luck--great mix. by the way, we were at a party and I was spinning one of my mixes and I look over at her and she's singing one of the songs on my mixes. A song that I would never think she would like. I smiled.

Nice. I especially like the choice of the Luscious Jackson, Sleater-Kinney and Sia songs.

"hyperspace" and the cover of "close to me" both send me reeling every time. good luck!
