If only I could submit many mixtapes

After extensive research, collecting and sorting songs, coming up with ideas and redoing everything, I finally finished my submission to Studio 23's Mixtape exhibit. This was incredibly hard to do. The 10-song maximum irritated me a lot. Mine usually go over 20.

And in my careful, almost obsessive process, I managed to come up with a whole bunch of mixtapes that I couldn't use instead of the one I needed/wanted to submit.

End of the World Mix
I liked this one and it was pretty much done but I felt that the tone was too morbid/depressing. But here's the tracklist.

-Marionette - The Mighty
-Ryan Adams - Nuclear
-The Mission District - Drop The Bomb
-Smashing Pumpkins - Death From Above
-Yuming and Jane - Love Before Doomsday
-Cold - End of the World
-Weezer - Death and Destruction
-Dave Matthews Band - When The Worlds Ends (Paul Oakenfield Remix)
-The Graduate - I Survived
-Mae - Last Transmission

Tunes from the Slammer
The only two tracks I had on this were Justin Nozuka's "Criminal" and The Future Kings of Nowhere's "Ten Simple Murders." I wanted myself on a mugshot for the album cover, but didn't have time to get drunk and beat the crap out of myself and THEN take the picture.

Lights On
All tracks had to do with bright lights. The album art was going to be a white sheet of paper. Too contrived in the song titles and not creative enough. Pass.

Middle School Dance
This was suppsoed to be a collection of sappy love/slow dance songs from my younger days (late 80s-early 90s). I wanted the album art to be two young kids at a dance holding each other with their arms outstretched not looking at each other. But for the sake of time, this wasn't doable.

What was my submission? Find out by going to Studio 23's mixtape exhibit. It'll be on display starting Sept. 26th and running until Oct. 17.
