This mix is an intentionally jumpy and disjointed collection. I've never been a "mix cd as an artform" kind of guy. My aim with a mix is rarely to create a complete picture. Instead, it is to throw a bunch of different (hopefully likable) stuff at the listener, in the hope that they find even one new song out of it that prompts them to investigate the artist and buy the record. That's certainly the aim with this. For that reason, there's no real track order. Get them all, put it on shuffle. It doesn't really matter.
If you've got the spare bandwith (and really, what's 100 meg these days?) then i suggest downloading all the songs here. Listen to the first 1 minute of each song, if you're that strapped for spare time, and if you don't like what you hear then delete the song. I'm fairly confident that after you've deleted 90% of the stuff, you'll find something on there that tickles your fancy. And as for the stuff you hear that you don't like? Well, at least you're giving something new a shot and expanding your musical horizons! You can even think of yourself as adventurous if you'd like!
As for the songs on here - all of them were acquired legally (in the sense that they were from free and legal mp3 blogs) or, in the case of the majority of them, are from real records I own. I guess I'm taking an mp3 bloggers ethical standpoint here - I'm hoping that if you enjoy a song you hear, you'll go out and buy a record or see them live, rather than going and downloading the album off limewire or whatever. Remember, music will only thrive if we provide it with the money to. So if you like an artist, support the artist!
