I love the process of making a mixtape. The picking of a theme, the researching tracks, the hunting down songs, putting all the songs together, making sure it's just right before you finalize it and give to its intended recipient. If I could be paid for making mixtapes, I could die a happy man.
On my last assignment, I decided to talk about the process and art form of a mixtape. I talk about how it brings all sorts of creativity to the surface from creating a theme to compiling the right songs to even making the cover art.
And of course, I made a mixtape about the video. A mixtape about making mixtapes with songs that have nothing to do with maing mixtapes.
The Ataris - Song For A Mixtape

you should put up the indiana jones one you made for me! :)
can you believe i only know one, maybe two of the bands on this one? well, yes, maybe you can, but i'm surprised!
I used to love making mixtapes. Now there are no tapes and an iTunes playlist is a pale imitation.
marcy- yes, i should put that up! course, all the indiana jones hype has died down, but whatever.
chris- I mentioned in my report that making an iTunes playlist instead of a mixtape is complete bullshit
