Themed CD Mixes… (dance, metal, itunes, album, rolling stones)

Muzak Geek · 01-09-2006, 06:32 PM

I'm always giving my friends compilation CD's with themes to them - Don't know why, but for some reason I find myself constantly sifting through my iTunes library looking for songs with common titles, names, etc. When I find one with enough songs to make a CD, I burn a bunch of copies, make some album artwork, and give them away.

Just thought I'd share one that I made this week, and see if anyone else does this, too - or perhaps my Username is just a little too accurate?…

CD Theme Title - "All in the Family"

1. My Grandfather's Clock - Johnny Cash
2. The Grandmother Wolf - Pretty Girls Make Graves
3. Big Poppa - Notorious B.I.G.

5. Son of a Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield
6. The Blower's Daughter - Damien Rice
7. Dream Brother - Jeff Buckley
8. Little Sister - Queens of the Stone Age
