So what's your "perfect mix" look like- the mix that you would listen to over and over, every day?
Just to keep this interesting, here are some rules:
There must be at least one NO song in your mix
For every NO or NO-related song in your mix, there must be at least two non-NO songs.
Playing time must clock in at under 75 minutes (MiniDisc limits).
My "perfect mix"? That will come later....
I actually had several CDs like that for playing at work. The best had PSB, PSB remixes. PSB remixes of other artists, NO, NO remixes...easily my best CD. Total non-stop bouncy music.
here goes:
hmmm, i think it'll change within the hour though.

Yes, it's true...
I've been working on one law paper after another, and thus no time to think about my mix. And now, after reading all these great mixes, I'd be too embarassed to just dash one off without thinking about it...Probably won't be happy with it even if I do think about it.
NOW what do I do?
