a few days ago a friend of mine was telling me about how last christmas he and his coworkers were all really broke and couldn't afford gifts. so instead they all made a mix that was a 'soundtrack to their life', and burned a copy for everyone. that way for christmas everyone got a bunch of new music, as well as a memento of the people they cared about.
my friends and i thought that was such a neat idea that we decided to also make our own and pass them around to each other. so then i thought... hey maybe my internet friends might want to get on it too?
the reason i am posting this here instead of the music forum is because this isn't really about making a "good" mix with the "best" music. have fun with it! i think it will be really cute for us to all learn a bit more about each other through songs instead of conventional blogging and text.
here is my mix: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=e1c4ae55d0de278c391d7d881749d3a7e04e75f6e8ebb871

Mai, this is an awesome idea and I'm going to do it. And I like how you listed your songs in the first post, so I'll do it that way here. (I'll include a tracklist with both in my zip file.)
