I admit, I also went through the mixes *you've* created in the past to try to get a better bead on what sort of music you enjoy, and once I saw that you'd put the Lucksmiths's cover of a Smiths song on one, well, I just grinned. Clearly we have similar tastes in music!
I love that cover, tbh. Whenever I make a mix, the songs all have to *fit*, like, there can't be a slow, introspective sound followed by a pop song or something like that. I need the music to flow together, if that makes any sense. (My control issues, let me show them to you.) The biggest chance I took was in my Ninth Doctor/Rose fanmix where it went from Barrett Johnson's beautiful "Small Hands" into No Doubt's "Running." But overall, I think it was quirky enough to work, considering how heavy The Frame's "Rise" is. (And if you've never listened to "Rise," you need to asap because OMG it's an amazing powerful song.
I'm still gathering my thoughts (LOL real life intruding) about the rest of the mix, so I haven't forgotten you! ;)
