Paolo's Mix Tape
I found this neat little site that allows you to make oldstyle mixtapes in an internet friendly flash format. It amuses me to no end since I've never grown out of making my own mixtapes / mixcds. Now there's I've got the anywhere you go, internet-style pseudomixtape. Oh, how I love technology! What's in it? I figure I'd make my music loving cutie-pie his own mix:
Of course, our mixtape won't be complete without the official tracklist (should've been handwritten, but it's easier to type it out for now:
1. 100,000 Fireflies (Magnetic Fields) - one of the few songs Paolo loves to hear over and over and over again. He requests for it and the title changes from one request to another - 100 fireflies, futterflies, butterflies, 100 butterflies, butter, flutterflies. Any way he asks for it, I always know what he wants to hear.
2. Sky Holds the Sun (The Bees) - I've listened to it, maybe 2 or 3 times while Paolo was around, of all those times it was just faintly playing in the background while he was watching the TV. The first time I played it in the car, he hummed along with it. He rarely sings along to any of his favorite songs.
3. Tiny Paintings (Architecture in Helsinki) - he calls it Tiny Paints. It's his first ever favorite song.
4. Wishbone (Architecture in Helsinki) - he could listen to this song all day. He loved it so much, he named my car Wishbone.
5. Disco Song (Au Revoir Simone) - Paolo's newly acquired favorite. Aside from Wishbone, this is the only song that he can say the title correctly.
6. Strange Things Will Happen (The Radio Dept.) - my all-time favorite song at the moment. He sometimes likes it and sometimes not (it comes before 100,000 Fireflies in my CD - Paolo just can't wait to hear that song so he often opts to skip this).
7. So, Kind Stacy (The Spinto Band) - he asked for the name of this song the first time he heard it and didn't know what Stacy meant. I told him it's a name of a girl. Now he calls it 'The Girl Song'
8. International Tweecore Underground (Los Campesinos!) - obviously, my son's music preference tends to lean on the twee side. He hasn't heard this yet, but this song reminds me of him.
