I mostly make mixes for my mom - just songs I think she'll like out of whatever my top twenty favorite songs are at the time. And always the kitty cat dance.

I used to make mixes for my mom too! haha.

Jamie..i totally just stole your christmas mix! :)
I love making mixes..i'll be sure to post some soon!

Last year, when we didn't have anything to do, my apartment-mate and I would go driving. We didn't go anywhere particular... just drove around in the country for an hour or so. Before leaving, we'd make a driving mix.. I remember one in particular.. it had a ton of Beatles on it. The last mix I made was for a trip to some haunted houses in Evansville. I'm not sure how much my friend liked it though.. I think she only recognized like 3 songs on it. haha. Oh but it was a good one. It takes me forever to make mixes. I'm so meticulous about them usually.

loving the mixes Lynn! I LOVE Anathallo..nobody I know knows of them!! I would be HAPPY to make you a mix! :)

Oprah's giving away a free Christmas mix that you can download until tonight I think. It's only 8 songs..but I'd just thought I'd share! :)

http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahsho...

I only know a handful of people who know Anathallo, but they are so good that more people should know of them! They were in Nashville in November but none of the Ananthallo fans I knew could make it down there so I didn't go. I thought about asking some other people if they wanted to go but I think Anathallo (and other artists like Sufjan Stevens) are too weird for some people to handle or understand.

Jamie, I would freakin love a mix from you! We could have a mix-exchange program! haha

I just noticed that itunes has a section of imixes now. Have any of you noticed/used this before? It looks fun and like a good way to find new music.

i've used it! i really enjoy it..its helpful when you are making a mix for someone and you need a few filler songs..i've found some great music that way.

I love random mixes also. Awhile ago I found a website called 8 tracks where you can share/find random mixes. It's a pretty neat idea and good for finding new artists and songs.

I love random mixes. I made one the other night and was playing it in my car. My friend burst out laughing when she heard the different songs on the cd. I guess she's come to expect weird mixes from me. lol. Anyway the songs on the mix are:

Hello Seattle-Owl City
Dig a Little Deeper-Princess and the Frog
A Hero Comes Home-Beowulf(Idina Menzel)
Unbreakable-Fireflight
Infinity-Guru Josh Project
Moondance-Nightwish
Fireflies-Owl City
Citizen Soldier-3 Doors Down
Far Away- Nickleback
Cave In-Owl City
Viva la Vida-Coldplay
Gotta Be Somebody-Nickleback
Iris- Goo Goo Dolls
On the Wing-Owl City
Tallulah- Sonata Arctica
Defying Gravity-Wicked the Musical
Requiem for a Dream- Clint Mansell

Anyone making any Valentine's day mixes for that special someone? What are your favorite love songs?

I always have such a hard time because the bf and I have extremely different musical tastes. He just doesn't appreciate the good stuff. lol So I end up making a mix with half stuff that he likes and then my music.

I made a mix for a boy for Valentine's. I diverged from making it all lovey-cutesy. He listens to a different style of music than me, but I just decided to make it stuff I think he would like & to get to know me better.

My best friend is the best mix maker I know and she has been promising me two mixes for about a month now. She says that one will be nostalgic music from college and the other will be a booty shakin' mix. Really looking forward to both!

Sounds like two good mixes!! I recently started making a 90's mix after watching VH1's --Top 100 songs of the 90's. Makes me very nostalgic!

I missed that! I will have to see if I can find it online somewhere. Those songs are guaranteed to bring back some memories!

Ahhh Jamie, I wish I had some 90's mixes! I'm super obsessed!

Do you know, I suddenly feel like getting mix CDs in the mail. Is anyone interested in another swap? Maybe a one-on-one swap this time?

Hey! I just saw this. I would love to do a mix swap if anyone else is interested. I love music and seeing what other people are listening to. Maybe finding some new tunes I never would have discovered on my own.

I ADORE MIXES. Even if it isn't the type of music I normally listen to, it's fun to find out people's preferences and likes.

I just made a mix for the car ride back to school next week:

"Bulletproof Heart" My Chemical Romance
"Grounds for Divorce" Elbow
"Mr. Blue Sky" Electric Light Orchestra
"Tighten Up" The Black Keys
"The Ballad of Mona Lisa" Panic! At the Disco
"I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor" Arctic Monkeys
"What You Know" Two Door Cinema Club
"Everything's Just Wonderful" Lily Allen
"Dog Days Are Over" Florence + the Machine
"She's Electric" Oasis
"Rolling in the Deep" Adele
"The Cave" Mumford & Sons
"LDN" Lily Allen
"Closer to the Edge" 30 Seconds to Mars
"Helena (So Long & Goodnight)" My Chemical Romance

Pretty much all of my current favorites...especially Two Door Cinema Club. My recent music obsession may be overtaking my impossible book obsession.
