Haha, this tape is all over the place genre-wise. But I dig it. I do the same and my family has actually grown to enjoy The Avett Brothers and Band of Horses which makes me very happy.

Sometimes when me and my house mate are bored we decide to devise a 60 minute playlist each, grab some drinks and put them on. It's a good way to hear some good new music you might not have heard, as well as having the fun of trying to make a good playlist of your music that runs nicely.

We usually choose a theme, although there doesn't have to be one. I made a trilogy of playlists being Colours, Numbers and Locations, whereby I only considered song titles which fit in with the theme. It made it a little more fun and at least narrowed down my music. I'll try and find them, think they're still on my iPod.

Good way to kill a few hours in the Winter when bored.

I've never thought of doing that. Not a bad idea at all. I'm going for it.

Lay down your theme, and you're away! What you going for?
