mix: music my ex-girlfriend hated
Okay, the title of this one needs a little bit of explanation.
See, my ex-girlfriend -- who is, just for the record, a wonderful and fantastic human being and she only deserves the mocking I'm about to give her a little bit -- and I had, for the length of our relationship, an ongoing point of good-natured bickering. She, you see, liked J-pop and mopey emo boy music way more than I did, and I liked 80s (mainstream and alternative) way more than she did. The sentence "I like good music, you like crap" was uttered on many an occasion during the four and a half years we were dating, and let's just say that the Cam-and-JD iPod wars are totally based in fact even though in our case it was car CD wars, okay? (The three-week cross-country drive was ... interesting.)
And so I present to you: Music My Ex-Girlfriend Hated. (Okay, okay, one or two tracks on here made it past her instinctive "ewww, 80s" revulsion and made it onto the list of Acceptable Compromise Songs. Still, they fit the CD.) Many of you will probably already have one or two (or half or three-quarters) of the tracks, since they're fairly common, but I don't offer up individual tracks because then they get webspidered and people use them for like background music on MySpace or so. Feel free to grab the whole zipfile even if you only want a few tracks.
I accept no responsibility for any injuries occurred while chair-dancing to this CD.

Right-click, save as; .zip, 81MB, 1:16:26 running time. As always, no need to comment just to say you downloaded. And, for the record, my current girlfriend agrees with me on the 80s stuff, but finds most of the ambient/electronica I live on these days really fucking creepy.
