Blind Date Mixtape 2009



So via facebook there was essentially a chain letter for peeps to join this group where everyone makes a mixtape...(i.e. playlist for those of you kids who don't know what a tape is)...and then you burn it to a CD...(I think those still exist)...then send it to a random person in the group that you've been assigned to by said monitor. The deal is everyone gets a name and after you've had a CD for a week, you keep sending them to the person who is your "date". Meaning supposedly we're all supposed to get everyone's CDs. Well I didn't send mine til today and I still haven't got one. Although a super cool concept, am not so sure this experiment is going to be full proof. I mean can you really trust everyone's going to do this? I know, I shouldn't give up hope so soon...however there were quite a few people on the list and I just don't see everyone being so organized. That being said I thought I'd share mine with ya'll. I will post the tracklist so you can decide if you'll dig or not...wait, are you sitting down, there is no hip hop on my mix...strange isn't it...but nonetheless I think it still fits the theme well. Oh yeah we had to have a theme which I poopooed and was going to pretend I didn't read, but at the last minute I kind of created one. When you see the names of the songs on the list, you'll think it's really obvious, but when you listen to the lyrics maybe it won't be so...ya dig?
