My wife’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago (1/9). Her birthday usually gets sort-of overlooked because of the rush of the holidays and our son’s birthday (1/3). This year I wanted to make a fuss, and I did. One of the things I did was make a mixtape (CD, actually) for her. I love making mix tapes – there is an art to it. I like to create something that captures a mood or a theme, and it has to flow.
That mix got me ticking, and I made one for me. I would share it with you on muxtape.com, except the RIAA is the devil and ruined the fun for all of us. Again. OLGA.net anyone?
So here is MixTape 1….- Give Me Novocain - Green Day
- In Your Eyes (Live) - Jeffrey Gaines
- Mudfootball - Jack Johnson
- While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Jake Shimabukuro
- Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
- Killing The Blues - Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
- Somewhere Only We Know - Keane
- Stupid Boy - Keith Urban
- Fall For You - Secondhand Serenade
- Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
- Shattered (Turn The Car Around) - O.A.R.
- Always Where I Need To Be - The Kooks
- Welcome To The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
- Home - Cary Pierce
- Rain - Jackopierce
- Diablo Rojo - Rodrigo y Gabriela
I admit that this is kind of a swervy mix. Check out Diablo Rojo on YouTube. It is AMAZING what they can do with their guitars.
Have you got any good mixes? Share!
