Back in 2001 I made someone a Christmas gift of a whole bunch of Single Artist Mix CDs. I just found the list of bands. The idea was that these were bands who defined me as a music lover. The ideas was if she was thinking of me she could pop in one of these mixes to feel closer to me.

Ben Folds
The Sundays
R.E.M. (Conglomerate Days)
R.E.M. (Syndicate Days)
Toad the Wet Sprocket
Belle & Sabastian
Son Volt
Counting Crows
Wilco
The Smiths
Richard Thompson
Bruce Springsteen
Hal Hartley
Crowded Crows
Pavement
Bob Dylan
Paleface
Extra Disk – Rap, Almost Just Rap

I am not sure how this list would be different now. I am not sure what this whole idea says about me.

Job Mix

I was looking at an old Sad Salvation entry and I found a mix that I never finished. It was a Job/Layoff mix from back in 2001. It was at the bottom of the bubble and lots of people were getting laid off.

I figure that I better finish up the mix and put in my blog. It has become a little more of a work mix. tell me what you think.
