To the mystery-maker of my magnificant mixtape! I'm typing while listening for the first time: this is gut-reaction feedback, rather than considered opinion, but I’m the kind of gal who goes with her gut! So: 1 – MGMT: I love this album, and you picked my favourite song (I actually put one of theirs on my Mixtape). An amazing start!!! 2 – Nice. Don’t know what it is. Thought it might be Snow Patrol, but this guy is a better singer. I like the way it builds, and I’m always a fan of strings! 3 – Ooh, a sudden shift of gear! Crazy violins (me likes the strings!), kind of a bluesy/jazzy vibe very interesting lyrics. Whoever you are – you’ve got great taste! 4 – The Strokes – nice choice. Strangely, I do not own a single piece of music by them yet I once had a dream about them and this very record! 5 – Another interesting change of pace. Was worried that it was going to be a disco number when it started, but no! The voice sounds a bit familiar, but I can’t place him at the moment. 6 – Another familiar sounding voice, but I’ve not heard the track before. Lovin’ your work so far! This is a really upbeat album, full of different styles and voices – my kind of mix... have you been spying on me? 7 – Not a clue about this one. Really interesting sound – dramatic guitar & strings, good vocal. Switches styles a few times. Not the sort of thing I’d pick out for myself, but an interesting diversion 8 – Takes me back to my student days. No idea who it is, but it’s got that kind of Britpop vibe I used to listen to all the time. Great lyrics - “You’re so cute when you’re slurring your speech” Would definately want to hear more from this band. 9 – Bringing the tempo down now, which is nice. Again, no idea who it is, but I guess that’s the joy of the Mixtape Exchange. This guy has a beautiful voice. There are more fantastic strings 10 – KT Tunstall – love her. Also put one of hers (from the first album) on my Mixtape. I think she’s a really inspiring female artist, and sadly, there aren’t enough of them about. 11 – The Raconteurs – another excellent choice. I love the bluesy vibe they have, I find them a bit more accesible than The White Stripes. Once again, I own nothing by them, but you may have given me the nudge I needed. 12 – Manic Street Preachers – wow, you pick the good stuff! I don’t own much by them, but I do own this. This and “Design For Life” bring a tear to my eye. Me and my friends at work make CD’s like this for each other all the time. They’ve known me for years and none of them has made a mix as entertaining and interesting as you have. Thank you for giving me a glimpse in to your world, and introducing me to some really exciting new music. I hope you’ll send me a track list so I can check out some more of their material, and I hope you get as much enjoyment out of the mixtape that lands in your mailbox. Take care, Alison :kiss:

I wonder how many users have taken advantage of this offer :inquisitive:

Yeah, didn't Doctor's used to recommend cocaine back in the 20's?

To be considered ambidextrous, you have to be able to write with both hands. I was thinking it was weird that you're right-handed but comb your hair with your left, but then I realised I'm a left who puts the brush or comb in her right hand. :confused:

It was supposed to cure hysteria??? This is the funniest thing I've read in ages - I think your post deserves it's very own Award! :laugh3:

Thought I'd bump this old poll to see if there's anyone new who hasn't voted...

Who was that woman presenting to them?
