Title: soundtrack to your life
Post by: iamiam on 31 Aug 2009, 13:24
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.)

Man, it's Brokencyde all the way for me. If any song describes my life it's one about choking bitches and being crunk.

4 - First Kiss - Alternate Track (Aka The Emergance of my Sense of Humour)
5 - I kicked ass at Middle School

7 - The Final Summer before College
8 - College!
9 - And look what I found at college.
*   Interlude - Depression

13 - Finally Lost The Love of my Parents
14 - Slowly Losing Grip

It was fun making this. There are some songs you'd expect, then there are some UK Hiphop songs, which I don't think anyone ever expects?

Were I to do this, I'd make a soundtrack of nothing but post rock just to make my life seem way more epic than it really is.
