In good old fashion Aussie pride, I had to pick a beer commercial. There's something fabulous about the ways Aussie ads handle the beer industry. They're always spot on. This one was no exception:
Help Yourself - Tom Jones

Yeah even fucking Amazon Prime made the default membership include commercials.Hulu isn't available here, but, do your streaming services have commercials!? What's the point of paying for them then?
Big Tech. Taking business models that already existed and making them just a lot shittier for employees and customers since the 90’s.

This slow version of this Eric Clapton classic appeared in Michelob commercials ("The Night Belongs to Michelob" ad campaign) in the late 80's and early 90's. I've always thought it was superior to Clapton's original version.

Great song ("Happy Jack" by The Who) in a great ad.

Day 16: A song you have put on a mixtape for someone
I don’t think I’ve ever done a mix tape for someone else.
Certainly made my own though.
I remember ripping this one from the radio to cassette back in the day.
Satisfied - Richard Marx

Day 16: A song you have put on a mixtape for someone
SO wanted to know what I was listening to that was so upbeat, so I put together a Vaporwave playlist for her!
Cats? Check.
Synths? Check.
Sounds like it's both from the 1980s and the 2180s at the same time? Fucking check-a-roony!
Space Purr - Flower Planet

Camper Van Beethoven - Take The Skinheads Bowling
There was a time, many moons ago, where anyone getting a mixtape from me was guaranteed this would be on it.
A classic song of social integration, why not take the skinheads bowling?
"I had a dream, i wanted to lick your knees"

Day 16: A song you have put on a mixtape for someone
”What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you”
Burned a CD for my sister the last time we met up, and this was the first song on it.
There was mostly sad, darker songs but I wanted to start with something positive and beautiful, so not to worry her too much.
I love this song, and yes it makes me cry.

Day 16: A song you have put on a mixtape for someone
When I was dating my wife I burned her CDs. This was on one of them.
I had been deployed and then going through a divorce. I was ready to fuck everything on two legs with tits. But somehow she fell into my lap. And it took! She is the absolute love of my life.
And my heart still races.
(I like this version a lot more than the original…)

I must've been about 13 or 14 when I made my first mixtape for someone. I went straight for the big guns.

whoever or whatever it's still rude. I had a friend die from an overdose in a BK bathroom and that's sad.

I'm sorry that happened but you need to get over his post. It was just some damn song lyrics and you are disturbing the flow of this thread by repeatedly posting about them.

Day 16: A song you have put on a mixtape for someone
I never had the patience to make literal mixtapes or burn specific songs on a CD but I have made plenty of playlists. But only for myself and for friends. I'm waaaaay too pessimistic to make a playlist for someone I'm involved with
I refuse to associate a brilliant song with an ex.
This one's going on any playlist for someone who needs a boost, a reminder that you've got this.

Day 16: A song you have put on a mixtape for someone
The mixtape. Not a playlist -- anyone can toss a playlist together. No, a mixtape took dedication. It was recorded from songs you owned, songs you had a stake in. You could make a tape of just a bunch of songs, and that was technically a mixtape, but it wasn't a mixtape. A mixtape is communication -- a letter from you to one other person. It could say a lot of different things, but the best, for me, was the "oh God, I hope this isn't entirely unrequited" letter. In music. It says a lot.
First, you are dedicated. A good mixtape should take a lot of thought, a lot of preparation. And then recording it, physically. Then listening to it to make sure it was right. Then rerecording half of it over again, because the second song on the second side skipped while you were making coffee. Dammit.
Then there was the title. Had to catch the eye. Show you cared.
Third, and most important, was the songs. You are not only writing a letter, you are being vulnerable. This is music you like--even love--well enough to buy it. It was letting someone see who you are by what you love. And it let them see what you saw in them. The order was important. The first was the curtain jerker. It had to get attention, either being quirky or an absolute bop. Better if it was an absolute bop they didn’t know-- stir the imagination. The second song allowed them to catch their breath. Good music, but lower stakes. Now there was an argument over the third song. Most people thought that was where you put your main punch. Not me – I thought that was too predictable. Pick a song that is really good, but builds up to you central thesis.
That was your fourth song. This is what you want to say to her. It can be obvious, a topic sentence. Or it can be an enthymeme - subtle, with a hidden premise. Both were useful. And if she didn’t get it, well, maybe you missed, or maybe she just didn’t get you. But if she did? Oh, that was a joy forever.
I used this as my fourth song on a mixtape I titled “...and I thought of you.” It was high school. She told me she had never heard of Joni Mitchel. And I had been waiting for the right person to give this song to.
"All I Want, " Joni Mitchel.
She was the right person...
