Sometimes I just get in the mood to make a mix tape. I'll usually put something together and put it on my ipod. I used to make mix tapes all the time for a couple of friends from Oklahoma. Lisa(who contributes to the very cool Prairie Hive) was the perfect person to make mixes for, she had really good taste but didn't know a ton of different bands. Andrea was also fun to make mixes for, she had good taste and kept up with new music but she was ten years younger than me and didn't know the bands I grew up with. A couple of weeks ago I took out my notebook and wrote out a playlist for Lisa.
Lisa Mix

7.Gotye - Somebody that I used to know

15. Jay Z and Kanye - Niggas in Paris
16. Fucked Up - The Other Shoe
Last week my wife decided to make a playlist for a friend with questionable music taste. Not only questionable but inconsistent in that she likes one song from an artist but doesn't like anything else by that artist. It makes it more than a little challenging to put together a mix.
