Just Finished Side A of a Mixtape

[hotmessization]

There’s a girl who I am crazy about. Despite her being taken and me just not having a chance with her, I in all of my glorious pathos made her a mixtape for Christmas. She loved (who wouldn’t?). There’s nothing really message-wise in it, just introducing her to more music. Her birthday is in less than a month, so I’ve been working on another one. I finally filled up Side A.

"Sugarcube" – Yo La Tengo
"Mighty Little Man" – Steve Burns
"Perfume-V" – Pavement
"Careful" – Sebadoh
"Exit Flagger" – Guided By Voices
"Hyper Enough" – Superchunk
"Start With" – Seaweed
"Harvest Spoon" – Free Kitten
"Stars" – Hum
"The Desert" – Vivian Girls
"Audrey’s Eyes" – Velocity Girl
"Cannonball" – The Breeders
"Tidal Wave" – The Apples In Stereo
"Scuffle With Nature" – The Takeovers

I think it’s a nicely done tape that giving to her will subtly suggest "Oh, you know that dude you’re dating? Yeah, I’m better."

Do you guys have any suggestions for Side B?

I have always wanted a guy to make a mix like that for me. And holy shit you picked some good ones. I don’t see how you can fail!

Thanks for the confidence boost. Lord knows I need it!

Songs so far for Side B in no order yet.

I still have about 10 minutes to fill, and some of these songs might get cut as I order them and put them on the tape. Help is needed.

"Friends Of P." – The Rentals
"Ambulance" – Saturday Looks Good To Me
"Celebrity Art Party" – The Embarrassment
"Michael Says Not" – Mighty Mighty
"Suki" – Unrest
"Darl" – Buffalo Tom
"All Sideways" – Scarce
"Hurry! Hurry! Before It Happens Again" – Vague Angels
"I’ll Be Your Jonny On The Spot" – Ween
"In A Name" – Tsunami
"Motherland" – Eleventh Dream Day

She’s a Weezer fan, so The Rentals was obvious. She’s a big Smiths fan, so I figure she’ll enjoy Mighty Mighty stuff.

I suppose since she’s a Smith’s fan and since you’re desperate to get with her, one choice might be Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want. Its a beautiful song and would be a great ending to side 2 in my opinion.

She should get that hint right?

[PunkyJ]

You haven’t updated us on the mix-tape mission… Was it a success?

[tonas]

Yeah did she dig it? Did she get the hint?

[hotmessization]

She hasn’t talked much about it. I don’t think she’s had the chance to listen to it much.

I guess I’ll find out in due time.
