Blowin' in the Wind

So, being poor, and having my friends scattered all over God's country (or whosever country it may in fact be), I am trying to think of suitable Christmas gifts that are also cheap to mail, and I believe I've decided on some mix CDs. It's been a minute since I've made someone one. Largely because I get obsessed, and it becomes a beast much larger than it should be.

As Rob (John Cusack) in High Fidelity says: "The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules."

God I love that movie. God I love John Cusack. Marry me?

So now I've ruined the surprise. But heightened the anticipation, yeah?
