It's been a while since I made a tangible mix cd for the car. Honestly, I would normally just make a playlist on an ipod, but it seemed to be a good reason to test out the new computer's burn speed (2 minutes compared to the 11 it took the old tower). The idea for the mix started with Jason Mraz' new album and the song "I'm Yours" which starts off with this mellow beachy vibe that makes me wish I was visiting my friend down in San Diego, grabbing breakfast at Pipes, and watching the waves roll in. The tracks just sort of fell in from there. Music has always held a placeholder for moments in time and events in my life so why should this summer be no different.
Here's the tracklist if you are interested (links lead to YouTube videos):
And I just realized that I left off Rogue Wave's "Chicago X 12" (see previous post). Yea...that's why I like ipod playlists. I can have as many songs as I like, and if I forget one I can easily remedy the error.
Sounds like a killer mix CD... I wish I could motivate myself to do something like this but I have to do boring things like clean the kitchen and vacuum. Maybe next year...
