First mix is out the door.....

Well, I've sent off the first mix in our little music club here, hopefully it will reach you all soon.

I enjoy making mix tapes, and though I'm no expert on it, I really try to make each mix I make tell a story of some sort. I had the idea that became this mix during this summer....and I never got around to putting it together until now, the idea changed quite a bit from its first inception, but I wont say anymore until everyone has a chance to discuss it, I'd like everyone to form their own opinions.

Like I said I'm not an expert on making mixes, but I do have my own set of rules and procedures for making one. I guess thats one of the exciting things about this club to me, I look forward to everyone developing their own rules, their own style, to making a mix, and seeing those ideas play out in the final product.

One thing I prefer people do when I make them a mix is to not look at the "track list" until they've listened to the mix through at least once. I feel like part of the excitement of getting a mix from someone is not knowing what's coming next. Maybe there will be some artists you recognize, maybe there will be some songs you've heard before but never knew who performed them....thats part of the fun for me. But that's just the way I prefer people to listen to a mix, if you like looking at the track listing before hand, then so be it.

Anyway, look for the september mix in the mail and post your thoughts here. I hope you all can find something about it that you enjoy, but be honest. I look forward to hearing your comments.

Take care,
Joey
