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.
