Mix-Tape Generator 2/19/06

I like to make mix CD's from time to time because listening to a whole CD for one band/artist really bores me. Even if it's really good like that Gorillaz CD. I just lose interest in it. That's why I usually make my own mixes which draw upon recent things I've heard that I like, old things I have recently rediscovered in my personal iTunes playlist, or just things that piqued my interest. So, there's no real pattern here in the selections for this latest CD. I am doing this for a reason . . . well, maybe two reasons. #1, I tend to forget the names of the bands/songs that I put on these things, and since I delete the entry in my iTunes after I'm finished with it, the information is lost forever. So, most of the time, when someone asks me "Hey, who's this?" I, most of the time respond with an "I don't know". #2, since my music tastes are infallible, this also works as a suggestion list for you, the reader, to either go buy (shea right) or borrow (ie - steal) from the internet. So, here's my latest list, which has a touch of melancholy but has it's upbeat parts towards the middle.
