Mix #1: Goofy Love Songs

So, I've decided that the first thing I'm going to post here is a mix. This way, there's something for everyone...provided you're into alt rock.

As you can tell from the title, this is a theme mix about love songs. Not all of them are goofy, but a lot of them are.

The songs are individual tracks. There's obviously a specific order they go in, so I'd recommend just adding them to iTunes as if they were a regular album, or maybe opening them in WMP or something. As long as whatever you're using can arrange by track number and doesn't just go by song title. Maybe next time I'll try to make a big ol' DJ mix of the whole thing and include that too.

I don't really want to talk about every individual song. I just tried to stick to (mostly) simple love songs...and I tried not to pick overly obvious ones, too. My general rule for mixes is that they should fit on one side of a cassette tape (though if I were to actually put a mix on a tape, I would use both sides and try to differentiate the two sides somehow...but I'd still want to keep the whole thing under 45 minutes). Another rule I have is to try and avoid using the same band twice, though there's technically three Rufio songs in this mix. That's because two of the songs are kind of a part one/part two kind of thing (the same goes for the two Ergs! songs).

I think the next two mixes are going to be anti-love songs and songs about sex.

  1. The next set should be hate songs filled with love, like Jason Mraz's "Please don't tell her" :D

  2. I limit my mixes to music I already have...so Jason Mraz is out :p Plus, that might be too specific of a theme for me to find more than one or two songs that I like.
