Too
Much To Feel My valentine's day mix, February 2000. Not romantic at all, just some songs I was enjoying at the time. I sent this one out to a bunch of my friends. This CD is still a favorite of mine for driving. The opening lick of "Bulletproof Belief" cranks it up really well, and it just keeps on cruising for a long time after that. This
is a somewhat unusual mix for me, because I mostly used songs from sampler CDs I got for
free at the record store, so I didn't know several of the bands before I made the mix
(like Guster, Collapsis, and Sun-60). My favorite songs on here are hard to pick, but I
think I'd have to say "My Insatiable One" by Suede, "Camel Walk" by
Southern Culture on the Skids, and "Bulletproof Belief" by Julia Darling top the
list. But there are at least 6 other songs on this mix that I like almost as much as
these. The
one song I probably wouldn't use if I had it to do over again is "Higher" by
Creed. Not that there's anything wrong with the song... it's just that I made the
mix before that song became so incredibly popular (and overplayed). The first time I heard
it was on the compilation sampler I used to make this mix. I liked the guy's voice and the
80s arena-rock sound of it. But I guess I got tired of hearing it after awhile, when it
was playing everywhere last summer. Still, in the end, if that's the only
problem with this mix, it's a fairly minor one. See below for cover art and playlist:
