20) Favorite musician or group: It would take forever to list everything in my mp3 player at the moment. I'm always looking for someone new...so feel free to send me a message that simply reads "check this band out"...hell I fell in love with Brandi Carlile recently, and all someone was saying was that she did a cover of a song I grew up on in concert...but I google any artist you mention and will give it a listen.
I was sort of always famous for making mixed tapes and mixed CDs, though, and I live my life by the following quote: "The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules. Anyway... I've started to make a tape... in my head... for Laura. Full of stuff she likes. Full of stuff that make her happy. For the first time I can sort of see how that is done." <---HIGH FIDELITY
