I made a mix tape, you can hear it (and download it) here, if you will. It does not have all of your fine suggestions on it, because fine as they were, we would really be miserable if we sat through all of them in one go. This is the edited version, short & sweet.

In true 2005 style, I will give you the track listings:
ReplyDeleteNina Simone, I got it bad and that ain't good.
Otis Redding, Free Me
The Pharcyde, Passing Me By
Colin Hay, I just don't think I'll ever get over you
Billie Holiday, I Thought About You
Gabrielle, Rise
Cee-Lo Green, Fuck You
If i click your link on an iPhone it is a blank screen apart from "4.10 Gone"
ReplyDeleteGo and put on some Scissor Sisters and boogie to work.
But you can’t play lovesick mixtapes on a iPhone, Rog. You can only play them on a slightly battered Walkman at 3 in the morning, the batteries dying along with your soul.
ReplyDeleteRog, me too now! How odd, it was fine yesterday.
ReplyDeleteYes, Scissor Sisters! We saw them live once, they were fab.
Tim, too true. I wouldn't be lovesick if I had an iPhone.
PS second link should work
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that this selection wasn't angry enough for a heartbreak tape until I got to Cee-Lo. Nice finish
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, that with digital media, I would imagine it didn't take long to put that together. I remember the days of having LP's and sitting there in 'real time' hitting the pause button and changing discs to complete a C60 Maxell tape!
thanks Steve. Right, it's the um, acquiring and downloading that takes the time these days.
