Mix #22- Courtin'

Perhaps the most common "purpose" of the mix in our society is for courting's sake. I know I've made any number of mixes for the sake of wooing potential romances* (or celebrating existing/beginning ones), but they've all been full of all kinds of filler songs intent on distracting/buffering/diluting the numbers containing the more pointed message I'm really trying to get across. Here on Mix-a-Day I can finally make a mix that really lays it on thick & share it with a bunch of strangers....
Download here. I believe this link actually works now!
TRACKLIST-
1. Irma Thomas- It's Raining
2. Smog- Let's Move to the Country
3. Diane Cluck- I Liked You As Soon As I Saw You
4. Richard & Linda Thompson- Night Comes In
5. Micah Blue Smaldone- Pale Light
6. Sheila Jack- I've Got To Have You
7. Stranger Cole & Patsy Todd- When You Call My Name

12. Tyrannosaurus Rex- like a white star tangled and far, tulip that's what you are
13. Maher Shalal Hash Baz- Soldier Of Love
14. Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin- Orang Outan

* to be fair, i've also used mixes to court new friends & artistic collaborators, often even using some of the same songs!
