Comment:

No picture because I'm lazy. Could anyone suggest to me a good program for making cd covers and whatnot? Trying to figure out what size I need it to be in photoshop and then trying to align everything myself is kind of a pain.

Anyway, the theme for this is just anything that mentions man, boy, mister. It ended up having a pretty strong goth/punk feel. I also tried not to use bands that are staples of my mixes in general (what, no Regina Spektor?!). I did use the Smiths but I could allow myself that one safety. Very few standout songs but I think it's pretty solid. My favorite transition is the Dead Kennedys to Edith Piaf.

Being a little unfamiliar with the community aspet of artofthemix.org, when people comment on my mix is the typical way of responding to comment on a mix of theirs?

To your community question: I would say it is semi-typical around here. Frankly most of the comments you see posted here are reciprocal between people who "know" each other from previous exchanges of comments. If you get a comment from someone you don't "know" it is usually worthwhile to go look at their stuff, and write a comment on theirs if something grabs ya. Welcome to AOTM.
