Give me your music.

By some chain of events I got to thinking about the movie High Fidelity, which naturally got me thinking about mix tapes. I'm going to be on the road for many, many hours. I'll need a LOT of music to maintain my sanity (quell your laughter), especially through Canada. (I love how I have the possibly twisted view that there is nothing at all in Canada.)

I have my iPod, but I like CDs better. I think I'm just going to make a bunch of mixes and not label any of them. I haven't quite figured out what I like so much about not labeling them, but I'm all about it. It could be that it eliminates the need to make a decision. I don't know and I don't care.

I want everyone that reads this drivel to make me a mix. And I do mean everyone. Half of me wants you to label it so I know what I'm getting myself into when I play it, but the other half of me thinks it'll be fun to try to guess who made it based on the content. Everything is a game, you know. Label it if you want to, I'm not making the decision.

The assignment:
-1 or more mix CDs
-I like a LOT of music; however, I think pop country, rap that doesn't have a good musical bit to it, and obnoxious top 40 crap that'll be old news in a week can all go to hell. No need to completely shy away from these areas, but use judgment and caution.
