mixed cds

i just recently bought a sweet 2001 mustang gt. this car has (almost) everything i've ever wanted in a car. and it came with a bonus: cds!

the first day i had possession of the vehicle, my parents and i drove it around quite a bit. at one point in time, my mom reached into a pocket behind the driver's seat and asked me "hey, did you put some cds in this pocket?". of course, i hadn't even had a chance to do so yet. whomever had owned the car before me put about 30 mixed cds into the pocket.

for the most part, these cds suck. horribly. (although, there was the highlight of "sexy back".)

you see, i believe these cds were produced by younger people. i'm talking probably kids in their teens. i suspect this for a few reasons: one- the songs are all pop and hip-hop/rap, and two- they aren't really mixed cds.

here's a lesson kids:
-when you create a mixed cd, and you have more than one song by the same artist, you have to break said songs up. dont' put a group of five songs mid-mixed cd. it's mixed for a reason.
- mixed cds should have some sort of theme or reason for making the cd. themes include: "hey, i really like you, so here's some lovely songs that remind me of you" or "summer jams!" or "driving", and can span across a wide variety of music.

that's just the tip of the iceburg, but you get the picture. making a great mixed cd requires more precise bullet points, but i won't go into those. because these silly cds don't even fit basic criteria.

don't forget kids: the making of summer jams! 2009 is happening too soon. opinions or requests? hit me up.
