the heidi chronicles

My single resolution this year was to stop wasting money and get outta debt, a collective effort. As one of many initial steps, I have decided that all of those I love will receive gifts from my heart for their birthdays. In other words, this is the year Heidi jumps on the mix cd wagon. And who better to begin with than my beloved Nikki.

Now, the bad part of this is... she's one of the two people who read this thing. Thus, she's going to read this post and hear (well, read) me completely hype up how proud I am of my first mix endeavor, and then she can only be devastatingly disappointed when the end result arrives in her mailbox sometime really soon. So, G.... continue at your own risk and know surprises may be spoiled. But I'll try not to as i know for you these postings are a hot commodity. Hee hee.

I expected my first attempt would be disastrous and I would have several false starts, as Nikki deserves only the my best efforts. Nevertheless, i have to say I am quite proud of myself. Inevitably, it became a two-cd set, as someone who loves music the way I love music will always encounter obstacles when given a time limit. I totally could have made her an mp3 mix with like 8 zillion tracks, but then I remembered a little concept called Overkill.

No not the death metal band. And no not the Men at Work song, though I must admit, i do love it... Simply the concept.

so to finally arrive at the point... The fade of "Dramamine" into the Decemberists' "Here idreamt I Was an Architect" is a truly beautiful transition. It almost made me cry it was so pretty. You should all try it sometime. Then juxtapose VHS or Beta with any Interpol song. Pure sex.

So now... do I make one for my mom?
