I made a mix cd for a friend's twenty first birthday set to a story poem that featured her as a planet-saving heroine. Each song was fit to a one or two line "chapter" in the story. I don't wanna share the track listing because, well, it's quite a private thing to do, innit?

Apparently it made her cry (in a good way) and I got a nice feeling of fuzziness doing it.

Fantastic. I tend to come up with a story for mix cd's when I make them, making kind of sound-tracks for films in my head as it were. I made one quite a while ago that was like the story of me and Mrs The Ball (TBC)'s love life to date.

This isn't the most recent one, but it's the one I have a tracklisting to hand...

The theme is because every year we get together for an Xmas meal at the end of January (because we can never coordinate before Xmas) and each year there is a themed present swap -- we've had Secret Satan, Secret Santana, this year it was Secret Samurai. So there are winter/Xmas songs, Japanese bands, songs with Japanese themes and then random stuff that I wanted to put on there. (I ganked quite a few tracks from CDs that Barbeloids have sent in the past....)

V-MAS 2005: SECRET SAMURAI
1. Travis Wammack: It's Karate Time
2. Latryx: (Off) With Their Heads (Be Prompt)
3. Meiko Kaji: Flower of Carnage (DJ Gerry mix)
4. Ian Brown: Can't See Me (Bacon & Quarmby mix)
5. Deceptikon: The Way of the Samurai (Hagakure mix)
6. Guitar Wolf: Fujiyama Attack
7. Kevin Coyne: Karate King
8. Arovane: Tokyo Ghost Stories
9. Siouxsie & the Banshees: Cities in the Dust
10. Marcy PLayground: The Angel of Forever Sleep
11. The Diff'rent Strokes: Last Nite
12. Pizzicato Five: One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Barbie Dolls
13. Bleach: Odoru Kubi
14. The Invitations: Ski-ing in the Snow
15. Cibo Matto: Sci Fi Wasabi

Does anyone want to swap CDs?

I attempted a CD swap over in my livejournal last month but it kind of fell by the wayside (fridgemagnet signed up, but we never swapped anything)

Maybe I should start another thread?
