In an early blog post, (here) I mentioned that I had made a mix CD, and how someone I wanted to impress had asked me for a CD of 60s goodness. I think I did a good job, but it became the agonising analysis of "What does the mix CD mean?" in my head after I'd handed it over. Now, I'm not saying I'm trying to woo him with CD (well, actually...), just that it's a rather personal thing, a mix CD - I want to make sure each song blends nicely into the next, and that there are peaks and troughs (you don't want a high octane CD, with no break...). So yes, a lot of work goes into the theme, the message etc. Here is my attempt for "The Boy" -
Modern World
1. Possibilities Frankie & The Heartstrings
2. Lonely Boy The Black Keys
3. Nerve Jamming Bass Drum Of Death
4. She's Got Me Dancing Tommy Sparks
5. Mirrors Crocodiles
6. Little Black Cloud Cult Image
7. The Engine Retriever
8. Your Eyes Bombay Bicycle Club
9. The Look Metronomy
10. You Are Not Stubborn Two Door Cinema Club
11. What You Wanted Spector
12. On My Own Vincent Vincent and The Villains
13. Oh No 10,000 Things
14. Month Of May Arcade Fire
15. He's So Fine (cover) Bass Drum Of Death
Opinions please oh Social Media World! Am I reading too much into this 'Mix CD' thing, or am I putting my heart on my sleeve (so to speak)
Much love my lovelies,
