Oh I had some brilliant personal mixes on mini disc that went excellently together, before MDs went long-play and before iPods. Should still have them knocking around somewhere. | |

It's not about the CD, it's about what I mix that CD with that has the most effect on me and my friends. | |

they don't necessarily go together as a mix, but here are 18 of my favs in alphabetical order by artist/group. (of course limiting it to one song/artist left out a lot of good songs)
1. The Beastie Boys--She's Crafty 2. The Beatles--Norwegian Wood 3. Jeff Buckley--Lover, You Should Have Come Over 4. George Clinton & the PFunk--Flashlight 5. Sam Cooke--You Send Me 6. D'Angelo--Cruisin' 7. Depeche Mode--Somebody 8. Everything But the Girl--Good Cop, Bad Cop 9. JJFad--Supersonic 10. LLCoolJ--Around the Way Girl 11. George Michael--Heal the Pain 12. The Miracles--Tears of a Clown 13. Edith Piaf--La Vie en Rose 14. Pink Floyd--Comfortably Numb 15. Lloyd Price--Just Because 16. Prince--17 Days 17. Salt 'n Pepa--Shake Your Thang 18. Bill Withers--Lovely Day The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |
