I’m still in that never-ending process of learning the right way to make a proper mixtape, so bear with me if this is terrible. I know the mix isn’t consistent, or of the same genre. Probably no one will like this.
How dare I call myself a “music aficionado” if I can’t even put up a decent mix, right?! Well, I’m not. And I certainly have no future as a DJ now (..how ironic, I love DJ Kilmore of Incubus but I suck at DJing). But I do listen to a lot of music. Won’t bother listing the genres because I will get in trouble for it. :))
Anyhoo, my goal for my mixtapes is to capture the moment in them. If that makes any sense. Since at the end of the day, I’ll be mostly the only one listening to it. Haha.
This mixtape contains a few songs that were of some importance from what happened these past three days. During some of those moments, these were the following songs that.. started playing in my head, or what I was listening to in the background. Lol.
It’s a very weird mix, I’d like to think it is. But I’m hoping you discover a new song or two from it. Enjoy(?)!
Yeah I know, the album art is so original (not!). What can you do.. it’s the middle of the night! Hahaha. I edited the photo in LINE app, lol. Yes that is my handwriting, it’s not normally like that. It only looks like that because I’m writing on good paper and using a nice pen.
OH and if anyone is curious (LOL), that notepad I got it for P50 at SM’s stationery department. Most of the letters of the alphabet were available except for the ones I wanted (like the letter A, X, I, N)… or some letters looked nice but not nicely designed. So I had to make do and pick a design w/ a nicely designed monogram. The L was the only one that looked up to par w/ my design standards ….hahahaha just kidding.
PS: May I just say that Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories album is so soothing and chill to listen to? o_O I’m close to saying that this is their best album yet. Then again I do not have an extended knowledge of their music other than the stuff from their Greatest Hits album hahaha.
I considered using 8tracks for earthings! but I got lazy, I guess. (“I have to do this every month? Umm.”)
The closest to a mixtape I did is a 150-minute mix for an event I handled. “I want jazzy stuff,” my boss-slash-dad told me, and I proceeded to sort of not follow him by throwing in Lorde and Radiohead.
I did two more mixes for that event: a 45-minute mix for break (it had Kelis followed by a K-pop artist – Rainy influence) and an hour-long mix that’s way more chilled, for the event’s end, which I never got to play.
To be fair, I put way too much thought into these things.
Also, I love your handwriting.
