I'm bored because I actually -- gasp -- got some work accomplished yesterday, so I give you: The Cedar Point Mix. This is the tape that played in my car, pretty much non-stop, from June of last year through this January. It began life as two separate CD mixes, the I Kicked My Midterm's Ass Victory Mix (celebrating Art History spring semester of last year) and the Cedar Point Mix version 1.0, which I made for the car trip to, lo and behold, Cedar Point last summer. I think it works so well for me because by the time I got around to making the tape, I knew which songs from the first mix I'd gotten sick of and could cull, and I only had a limited amount of space for half of the second mix, so I had to pick stuff I was certain I wouldn't get sick of. And you know, I'm still not sick of this mix.
I take my mix tapes very seriously. CD mixes, ultimately, are just a stepping stone on the way to the all-important tape. It's an art form. I wrote a scholarship essay on it once, and won. We'll ignore the fact that nobody else has ever heard of that scholarship so the applicant pool wasn't exactly crowded.
Anyway, on to ( the Cedar Point Mix )
