This is a practise that has recently returned, what-with the retro-trend, and all.
And I figure we could use a thread, where we give each other tips on our mixtapes, which we are making for our special someone.

EDIT: Just made some changes to the mixtape.
Mixtape: For Someone Special
-------------------------------
I'm currently working on a mixtape for a special lady of mine, she's kind of a hipster I guess, so I'm turning a bit hipster for this one, myself. ( but not too much, lol! You'll find my music-taste is unbelievably mainstream.)
Anyways, we have some sort of open relationship or what-have-you right now. I'm not one of her main pics, or choices tho', but she is my main pic at the moment, and I wouldn't mind a proper relationship, actually.
I want to tell her that, on this mixtape, but not too obvious, I guess. It's meant to describe me as well, my likes, my personal quirks.
- 90 minute-tape
- Songs that I like, and shows my musical taste
- All 80's songs
- Songs that describe my feelings about us
