Mixed Tape Preparations

We talked a lot about the perfect mixed tape and I think it was very interesting hearing everyones thoughts about what truly makes a "perfect" mixed tape/cd. To me, it cannot begin without establising a person to present the CD with, and a meaning behind this action. Even if you choose to give it to this person just for fun, that's still a reason. I'm choosing to give mine to my grandpa and I want to show him how much I care about him and audibly present him with some memories he can think about. I think that giving someone a gift like this is often priceless because it shows how much thought and effort go into doing something for someone else. I look forward to seeing how mine and everyone elses mixes turn out.

I think you're right. This mix tape has been a lot of fun to create, and I feel that it really qualifies as a sentimental gift. There is definitely thought that goes into making a mix, and I think that if it's done correctly, it can extract desired emotions from the audience.

I agree. This is definitely something that you can't buy with money. I'm sure your grandpa will love the mix CD you make him.
