2. Radiohead "Bodysnatchers"
3. Teenage Bottlerocket "So Cool"
4. Mighty Mighty Bosstones "The Rascal King"
5. Coheed & Carabria "The Hound (Of Blood & Rank)"

11. Lagwagon "Billy Club"
12. Lupe Fiasco "Little Weapon"
13. Cursive "Staying Alive"
14. Queens Of The Stone Age "Little Sister"
 
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.
 
I make many a mix cd for my frienRAB to get them to listen to good music, the most recent I made pre-summer break so probably arounfd May:

1.Bigmouth Strikes Again-The Smiths
2.High and Dry-Radiohead
3.This Charming Man-the Smiths
4.Pictures of You-The Cure
5.Little girls Pointing and Laughing-Alexisonfire
6.Some Kind of Cadwallader-Algernon Cadwallader
7.Bella-Angus & Julia Stone
8.gamma ray-Beck
9.Four WinRAB-Bright Eyes
10.Lady With Death Mask-Dawn Treader
11.You Might Go Off-Dianogah
12.I Won't Be Found-The Tallest Man On earth
13.Chest-Tarantuloco

Pretty much a mix of folky stuff with some harcore shizz. Plus The Smiths. My friend loved it by the way ;)
 
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, Nurabers 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. :o:
 
I'm gonna make one where it has to have one song for every letter in the alphabet. A-Z.
If you get me.

EDIT: And it all has to be fun music
 
I made my extremely hard to please father a boxing C.D the other day because I was so tired of hearing the last one I made him. I also tried to slip a little diversity in this one because he is stuck on classic rock and a little change wouldn't kill him.

Here it is, in exact order

1. Misirlou - Dick Dale and his Del Tones
2. Cinderella - The Sonics (I have this one thanks to one of Comus's comps)
3. Green Onions - Booker T and the MGs
4. American Woman - The Guess Who
5. Izabella - Jimi Hendrix
6. Foggy Mountain Breakdown - Flatt & Scruggs
7. Immigrant Song - Zeppelin
8. Marabo Italiano - Renato Carosone (This one was a hit)
9. You're Gonna Miss Me - 13th Floor Elevators
10. Uncloudy Day - Willie Nelson
11. You Really Got Me - The Kinks
12. Oye Como Va - Santana (also a hit)
13. Gimme Back My Bullets - Lynyrd Skynyrd
14. Fire Woman - The Cult (thought I'd stealthily slip this in, but he noticed and didn't like it :( . I tried)
15. Five To One - The Doors
16. Attitude Adjustment - Hank Williams Jr.
17. Can You See Me - Jimi Hendrix
18. Jumpin Jack Flash - Rolling Stones
19. Trampled Underfoot - Led Zeppelin
20. The Healer - John Lee Hooker and Santana (for cooling down)

He ended up liking it with an exception of a few songs out of his comfort zone that I threw on there, but overall, I was pretty happy with the results.
