I'm working on mine now and must say that this is pretty tricky- not knowing anything about this person and just going from the cuff making a fun mix that I hope they'll listen to and enjoy.
It's like shooting in the dark.

I don't think my person is even on fucking Facebook. pfft. I don't think mine is, either. So my mix is essentially a bunch of stuff I really like that I hope he will also like.

Mine is on FB, but has all the privacy settings in full gear. I've settled on a theme and am hoping for the best.
Theme has been scrapped. I used to be good at this. Annoying.

It just occurred to me, but would people be willing to post their songlists on here after they receive their mixCD?

My list is done, will burn and mail towards the end of next week. This HAS been stressful, you really hope the person likes what you send. I don't have much of a theme, but I did put some thought into it and intend to include some liner notes. Based on his profile, we appear to be about 10 years apart in age, so I made a disc of what I was jammin to when I was his age, and eventually led me to the Hold Steady. If he doesn't like it, that's fine. If I am not a fan of everything that is sent to me, that's ok. I will appreciate the fact someone took the time and effort to make something for me. This has been fun.

I've got one with a theme and one without, and I've listened to them both too many times ... blah. I'm off to start a Perfectionists Who Procrastinate thread.

This isn't the mix I'm making for my recipient- but it's one I made with a little help from the BAGIA board. The thread was titled "Good or Bad" and the question at hand was whether or not to open the disc with Hornets.
Lo and behold, we're still texting silly Finn quotes and having adventures-
Ah, the glory of the mixtape-
1. Hornets! Hornets!- The Hold Steady 2. Everyday is Like Sunday - Morrissey 3. Even Rats- The Slip 4. Mellow Mood- Bob Marley and The Wailers 5. Silver- Echo and The Bunnymen 6. American Music- The Hold Steady 7. (Antichrist Television Blues) - Arcade Fire 8. Silent In The Morning- Phish 9. She's Actual Size- They Might Be Giants 10. Jigsaw Earth - The Disco Biscuits 11. Too Late To Call- Brothers Past 12. One of These Things First- Nick Drake 13. Track 4- Portishead 14. Halah- Mazzy Star 15. She's Electric- Oasis 16. When I Paint My Masterpiece- The Band 17. In The Meantime- Spacehog 18. Atlantic City- Bruce Springsteen

52 people signed up!
It looks like one has fallen by the wayside because he never registered for this board and never checked his PM on the old board. but blondette is looking after his giftee. and everyone else has at least read the PM.
It wasn't much trouble at all. Cheers!

Well my CD should be well on its way to the USA by now. Personally I’ve gone for music that my recipient most likely won’t have heard thus introducing them to new sounds. I’m also looking forward to getting a bunch of tunes I’ve never heard before (I’m not ashamed to admit I have no facebook profile for anyone to check).
It sounds like some of you guys are putting a lot of effort into your CD sleeves which (I am ashamed to admit) I haven’t so sorry to my guy. Hopefully the music will make up for it.
