i'm in the middle of compiling a list of songs for my 15 year old niece, Cassidy. It's part of her xmas present.
i've been toying with several ideas. 100 songs that saved my life or doing several themed cds. themes like:
-let's get this starty parted
-girly music, but not vagina songs
-i hate myself, and i want to die (break-up songs)
-serious dance party (or songs to work out to)
-emotional landscapes (cinematic journies or songs i would put in a movie)
etc.
i'll start paring down the master list and then figure out if it's going to be a lazy 100 or themed. i am also planning on illustrating a book to go with it complete with lyrics and heartfelt stories about my experiences with the songs. I hope she likes it. I guess it's also for Christian, her brother. He's 19 and in jr. college. planning on going to film school. maybe i'll make him a separate cd - the emotional landscapes/cinematic cd one. hmm... if i have time.
i was just thinking "get out of here, dominic. you're always in my business." and then he looked at me and jumped off the desk. HE CAN READ THOUGHTS!!! i always knew he had special gifts.
