There was this girl I had a crush on for most of Spring 2003. We went to concerts together. I made her a mixtape, because we all know that mixtape=love (these guys think so too).

I found a copy I’d made yesterday while organizing my CDs. I’d forgotten about it completely but now I’m listening to it at work. I probably made this early May 2003.

The tracklist:

1. Lion’s Mane – Iron and Wine
2. Ohio – Damien Jurado
3. New Partner – Palace Brothers
4. Accident – Clem Snide
5. I See a Darkness – Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy
6. Most of October, All of November – P:ano
7. Silvery Light of a Dream, Pt II – the Apples in stereo
8. If We Can Land a Man on the Moon, Surely I Can Win Your Heart – Beulah
9. Hideaway – Olivia Tremor Control
10. A Duel Will Settle This – Mates of State
11. Sleep the Clock Around – Belle & Sebastian
12. Summer is Coming – Matt Pond PA
13. Away, Into the Light – One AM Radio
14. Who Am I? – Seldom
15. Bad Diary Days – Pedro the Lion
16. No Solid Ground – ms. john soda
17. This Place is a Prison – The Postal Service
18. Consequence – The Notwist
19. Ruby’s Wishes – Unwed Sailor
20. Stanley Kubrick – Mogwai

It’s a nice mix of songs. I still listen to and like most of these songs and bands quite a bit.

I made it on a friend’s computer because I didn’t have a laptop yet so I copied all the songs to the computer individually and then made the CD from that. She loved it; she bought three CDs of bands on the CD within a week because she liked them so much.

She was not smitten with me, though.
