I'm always making mixtapes but i never give them to the person for whom they are intended. so, a few weeks ago i was composing a mixtape (on CD) with the working title totallyfuckedupshit which was purely an intellectual exercise. around the same time a friend text messaged me in what can only be described as an evidently good mood. i replied: "what's with the pep, chipper?" which she subsequently attributed to her newfound liberation (nelly furtado may have been quoted). as karmic cosmic coincidences would have it, one mariah carey released an album entitled the emancipation of mimi within close proximity to these events; totallyfuckedupshit becoming something for mimi. the tracklisting is as follows (current circulation 2);
01 ben lee whatever it is
02 the nextmen mash-up AC/DC's back in black with missy elliot's get your freak on
03 the muffs outer space
04 the kinks the village green preservation society
05 david cross certain leaders in government look or act like certain pop culture references!
06 sodastream a drum (live)
07 the fiery furnaces don't dance her down
08 the dresden dolls girl anachronism
09 simon and garfunkel the 59th bridge street song (feelin' groovy)
10 smokey robinson and the miracles the tracks of my tears
11 the magnetic fields you and me and the moon
12 beck e-pro
13 jason forrest 10 amazing years
14 the roots feat. erykah badu you got me (live on letterman)
15 dj z-trip mashes-up the who's teenage wasteland
16 the field mice landmark
17 aimee mann longshot (Live at st. ann's warehouse)
finally, a fictitious conversation i have only had in my head:
girl: so, did you make a mixtape for me?
me: of course i did. i am, in the truest and worst sense of the word, a romantic.
