Monday Night Mix Tapes Recommends:
1) Getting In Your Car and Driving 1055 Miles Overnight To Have Fun In NYC For A Week: It may sound a little extreme, but seriously we are doing it in T-Minus 2 hours and we are pumped. (Look for us high-5ing Stephen Colbert as he goes over to do his interview.)
As a sub-recommends we are looking forward to drinking here and doing this!
Enjoy the new mix and we will have another one for you on Monday!

Mix #17 - Palette Knife
Creator: Karissa Dingus
Occupation: Graphic Designer
Theme: Color
Title: Palette Knife
I give extra points for a mix tape theme connected to your profession. I also give extra points because Karissa emailed me a jpeg for an album cover she created. And of course anytime you can double dip on your theme you should be commended - 'Color' songs by bands with colors in their names (Pink Floyd and the White Stripes. . . Clever!)
I have talked with people who say at least half of making a mix tape is in the presentation.
How is it delivered? What kind of art did you add? Tape vs. CD vs. sending files?
I always seem to focus more on the songs - order, variety, making sure they are on the theme or saying what I want, than on the art, case, delivery. I fret over the type of songs on the mix. I want to make sure that there is enough "classics" on the tape so I don't lose the audience, but also add enough new stuff on there to make it interesting. On every mix tape there is usually a song I don't like, but it fits the theme too well. So it goes.
NOTE: This is the first time that R.E.M, Pink Floyd, and Jimi Hendrix have been included on a mix tape on this site.
