The mix CD, I am thrilled to announce, is all finished up. I’ve obsessed long enough. I’ve got a cover designed, a track listing typed up; I just need to burn and print the artwork for 30 CDs. (Thanks again to Sir Mildred Pierce for the materials to make the entire batch. SMP, your envelope will recieve a bonus CD, as you requested. I’ve hand-selected you the finest 74 minutes of happy hardcore I could locate.*)
So, e-mail me those mailing addresses if you’ve been promised a shiny, happy (and a little bit sad) disc thingie. And if you haven’t, well, I’m feeling generous, so if anybody else thinks they can dig Phil Collins covers (okay, just one, but it so rules) then say so below. I’m gonna mail out five more. First five folks to speak up, I guess. I want to spread the gift of my favorite songs to all and sundry.
Because, dammit, I worked hard on it. I consider it a little letter to your brain from me to you. It isn’t perfect. Not even close. There are some beautiful songs on there though, songs that make me hurt every fucking time. Songs that make me giggle. Songs that make me wince and sigh and laugh. And I have to say there is just enough cheese to suit my needs, which I assure you is extra cheesy, so here’s hoping your tolerance runs pretty high.
However, I did spare you the all-male a capella choir version of the “Growing Pains” theme song. At least there is that.
*Just kidding. I like SMP and don’t wish him permanent brain damage.

Woo-hoo! Living in European Standard Time has its privileges; that it, catching late night posts offering goodies before the rest of your hard-core readers. I would love one of the mix CDs, and promise to send one your way, complete with oddities found on German “oldies” radio.
Dude. I would be stoked if you sent me one. I have done absolutely nothing to deserve free music, but man. I’d tell everyone how wonderful you are. I’ll be nice. I’ll fight for you. I’ll leisurely climb a small, gently sloping hill. I’d appreciate it more than anyone else named John. That’s about it.
umm… I’d love one, but if not, I’d be content with the track listing. It’s just always cool to get exposed to new music.
Damn, I was so into it until I found out that your disc would NOT include an a capella choir version of the “Growing Pains” theme song. Please tell me you at least included the Family Ties theme done as a hard core punk cover.

am i number 5? am i? oh god,am i? please?
drab! 6th place. the first loser.
a while back you wrote a thing. a thing about a cd you were making. and i commented.
i wrote a long, pleading thing about how important music is to your personality. how amazing it is when you’re young, being exposed to something by your friends. about how it brings you closer to a person. how it opens up new worlds.
i begged and i pleaded, and i promised one back atcha. it was good. it was witty. it was smart. it was compelling.
then you never did the cd thang, and now you have changed blogs. so i can’t even really refer you to it.
but i will mention it, since i know it’s better than what i am writing right now.
PPLLLLLLLEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEEE?
