I put together a CD for my mom a while back, and she got the oddest look on her face when I talked to her after she'd had a chance to listen to it. It was full of songs she liked, but in an order that told a definite story. First, a girl was in love. Then he cheated on her. She told him to fuck off, and went through a period of thinking all men were scum. At the end, she got over that and was ready to move on. She wanted to know if I'd been in a bad mood while making it. Pff, no. You just can't slap songs onto an album at random.

Damn straight. And I think I've made that mix before. ;)

I have half a mind to unfriend you just so I can friend you again. But I won't, because I can't stand to be away from you for two seconds.

*licks you all over*

First I get all happy because it's the nicest thing anyone's said to me in a long while.

Then I ponder how weird I've become -- because it's about friending and livejournals. ;P

Thanks, Green. That made my day.

I have this thing with tracklists. My own mixes have to be perfect -- the order of songs has to have a flow and a contrast.

Don't feel strange. I'm similiar to you with my mixes; I don't like going from one musical extreme to another. Everything has to flow, and the most important songs are the beginning and ending ones.

Yea! So glad someone else has this music fetish. :D

Can I just say, word? Because I feel like the biggest geek in the world when I critique my friends' mixes, claiming, "This has no logical progression!" And then they look at me weird.

::hugs you::

Word, Eve. Word to this entire post. I usually create mood mixes, which start with certain similarly themed songs or even songs with the same time signature, and they HAVE to flow correctly from the first to the last. I practically have OCD when it comes to these things. So, yes. Analyze away.

...the hidden 30-second track of almost heavenly strings.

You mentioned the strings! *passes out* Can I have your children?
