Got mine today...preparing to send my own out into the world!

How 'bout... when you send out a mix tape, put the song list in here, for the rest of us to see? I mean, after all... if Kyle hadn't done this, I'd never know that Avril covered "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". I now feel complete

[duckie]

Oh, and Kyle... you mentioned High Fidelity (Nick Hornsby's book is awesome, by the way). Have you read Rob Sheffield's "Love is a Mix Tape"? I'm about halfway through it, started it shortly before you posted this thread... so far, it's been pretty good. I have a feeling that you'd be able to relate to Rob, at least the parts I've read so far.

How bout the recipient posts the tracks on the mix they get? That way, the track listing will still be a surprise when they get their CD.

I almost bought that book the other night at B7N....but then I remembered that I have no money But I do plan on buying it someday!

There's also a pretty good essay about mix tapes in the book "Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs" by Chuck Klosterman (sp?). It's a very good book altogether too.

[Ms. Jellybean]

Just got mine today (I was one of the later ones sent out) and before I make mine today, can I assume that we're operating under the "whatever theme we want goes" system?

[kylerexpop]

also: the coffeehouse girl is on the backburner, so now i'm interested only in whether or not that initial kyle mix could effectively communicate that i am

- attractive in terms of both personality and creativity
- playful and fun
- attentive and caring
- a gemini
- a fan of spending days at the beach, nights at a beachside bar, and late nights by a bonfire on the beach before retiring to a cabana
- intelligent, emotional, and sensitive
- other

if you could in anyway let me how effectively that mix approximates the desired effect, i'd appreciate it. thanks!
