The mix tape. A simple enough concept, a bunch of semi-related songs on a disc. But under the surface, a good mix has to have a few elements that make it good. Apparently, there are websites devoted on how-to make a good mix. Personally, I'm a trial and error kind of girl. I've made enough mixes for myself that have been truly terrible, but once in a while, a good one comes along. On the few occasions I've been given mixes, my favorites have been the ones which had specific themes and songs that I actually liked.
The mix tape is such a part of the "scene" that absolutepunk.net has a thread on its forum dedicated to it. Below, you'll find other helpful links for making the perfect mix for yourself, potential significant other, or the girl down the street you've decided to start stalking. (kidding on that last one...kinda)
