Post-A-Mix

[RainDog]

I wanted to post a mix on iTunes (never done it before) and I didn't know that you could only post songs on their playlist.. which may seem like, well, d'oh, but they don't have certain things that make a real mix a mix... those unexpected exerpts from something.. the connections b/t songs' attitudes, or a progression from one song/mood to another.

I wanted to "gift" it to a friend but can't go that way. I was surprised to find iTunes doesn't have ANY Jim Jarmusch movies. Anyway, here's my mix - a Christmas story in 23 songs - that was supposed to be called

MERRY MOOD SWINGIN' CHRISTMAS!

how about you? do have a great mix that you want to share? -- certainly doesn't have to or need to be iTunes, or things available there - sometimes those songs are the little treasures that create that... um, how do you say... je ne c'est pas...

it's the mix you listen to while driving to visit family... you go through all the negative emotions and reach transcendance so that you can maintain that smile when cousin Todd grabs your behind...or something like that. not the mix to put on for Christmas eve with family... :wtf:
