So... you've heard about my monthly mixes? If you haven't, I feel sorry for you. They're pretty much the best mixes that ever were. My list of monthly subscribers is growing exponentially.
People often wonder where the inspiration comes from for said mix CDs. Well, it's a pretty laid back process. I keep a pen and paper with me in the car, and whenever I hear a song that I would like to hear over and over and over again, I write it down. Pretty simple. When I feel like I have a handful of quality songs, I download and create a playlist. The real creativity comes in when I have to then look through songs I already have to compliment and complete the play list.
Order is also important. You want your CD to start out with a bang. Equally important is a strong finish. Things to consider are seasons, holidays, current events and state of mind. A good mix CD not only is a pleasure to listen to; it tells the story of your life for a brief period of time. In my case, generally about a month.
