Here's a 14 song virtual Valentine's Day mix tape, split into two seven song sides. These are either songs I've recently posted here or deep links to other places on the internet. Side A is mostly my stuff and side B is mostly linked elsewhere. I had to end with "Whole Wide World", because that's one of my personal theme songs. My jam, as the kids say.
Side A:- Baby Lemonade - How Deep Is Your Love?(Bee Gees cover)
- The Chevelles - Lost in Love(Air Supply cover)
- Marshall Crenshaw - Cynical Girl
- The dB's - Big Brown Eyes
- Donovan - Wear Your Love Like Heaven
- Flying Color - I'm Your Shadow
- House Of Love - I Don't Know Why I Love You
- Jennifer Gentle - I Do Dream You
- Nada Surf - Always Love
- Rogue Wave - Every Moment
- Todd Rundgren - I Saw The Light
- Teenage Fanclub - Your Love Is The Place I Come From
- Tracey Ullman - They Don't Know
- Wreckless Eric - Whole Wide World

Nice mix...but how on earth is a CD "less personal" than a mix tape? I mean, hey, you could leave secret love notes for your valentine in the CD-TEXT area - or include artwork, etc.
Granted, you can't take a CD, smash it on the ground, unspool the tape, and insist that your partner wear only the tape as a costume...not that I've ever done that or anything...
A CD is less personal than a mix tape in the same way that an email is less personal than a hand-written note.
When you burn a CD, you don't even have to listen to the songs -- just rip, sequence, burn. Mix tapes are real time, and you have to listen to your selections while you're recording them. I'm trying to get a head start on the cassette nostalgia craze that's going to sweep the land in the 2010s!
You know, I made several mix tapes without really listening to them. I'd start the song, let it record...and listen to something else, if (for example) I had a bunch of new CDs I wanted to listen to at the same time that I was making a mix.
