MIXMASTER: Jorge
THEME: Melancholy and Mellow
I remember creating some mixtapes when I was younger that appealed to my need to wallow in misery, or allow me to sit in a dark room with nothing but a candle (or the flicker of the LEDs on the stereo) and mellow out in a very relaxed minor-key melancholia. So, not necessarily a "break-up" tape, as the songs don't need to have anything to do with unrequited love or heartbreak (they could, it is just not a requirement), I do want our choices to be slow, melancholy affairs that zap the energy out of you, or make you feel incredibly sad, and really, end up making you feel even worse than when you started! (Misery loves company, right? And listening to depressing, beautiful, melancholy music is sometimes the only recipe for feeling depressed and melancholy). No year limits, besides our agreed-upon restriction of it has to be before the year 2000.
