#LOGIC MIXTAPES AS I AM TRIAL#

Depending on your theme, you can always include some mediocre tracks for giggles, but remember to monitor the lyrics in the songs. Too much synthesizers can be a pain to hear (to some people), so always play around with genres and moods when it comes to songs. Remember to never limit yourself to a genre. No need to be complex, but a catchy title always helps (eg The Single and Available Mix for the newly-single crowd). Once youвЂ™ve decided on your theme, it gives you a chance to get creative with the title. Or even for that friend whose a mixtape nerd and constantly bugs everyone for their mix. Or you can always make a mix for your boyfriend with the means of conveying how much you love him. If your best friend is constantly moping about her ex-boyfriend, consider a theme to help her get through the week with a list of upbeat tracks about her man being no-good and how she can move on. Whether its a mixtape for you or for a partner, think hard on what message you intend to convey in your mix.

I said вЂMIGHTвЂ™.Д«ased on extensive research, trial and error, and opinions, I compiled some easy and comprehensive tips for making a mixtape, mix CD, or playlist for that special someone. But when you specify that the mix is all about what you like, there is a chance that your partner might go easy on you. It could be the beat, the lyrics, the use of synths that define your first mixtape. There is aВ possibilityВ that you may not like what you hear, but always start with a mixtape that features the music that you like, especially songs that represent you. My boyfriend has a wide taste in music and he listens to tracks old and new, popular, alternative and unique, and generally anything that suits his mood, so getting input from him is always great. According to MeвЂќ mixtape to someone who listens to a lot Nicky Minaj, Justin Bieber and the like. You donвЂ™t want to make a вЂњThe Best of R.E.M. More importantly, someone who isnвЂ™t afraid to tell it like it is, and of course someone who is actually open to good music. If youвЂ™re like me, and never really made mixtapes for anyone but yourself, start with your partner, best friends, etc. His current obsession, Mariachi El Bronx. Although he disagrees with some of my choices, I still manage to excite him with some rare gems. We both have very different tastes in music, and mine happens to be brimming with obscure bands. Oh, teenage angst!Д®ventually, compiling music became a habit, and I started making mixes for myself, and the person I love, my boyfriend. Yes, I compiled upbeat tracks about (good and bad) self-image, and went nuts on the cross-trainer. The first proper mix I ever made was my Work-Out Mix for the gym featuring Marilyn MansonвЂ™s The Beautiful People as the opening track. I got the music I wanted, and burned them all into a CD so that I could listen to the music I liked on the go. I never really made mixtapes as I was still too young to do anything and cassette players were technologically-advanced for me at the time.В Whatever the medium is, CD or cassette or a simple playlist on your iTunes created using the drag and drop tool, I still think the concept of the mixtape is here to stay.ДЄt 16, I utilized the internet, looking for different music and listened to a lot of alternative music and indie bands, and having discovered Lime Wire and SoulSeek, I went on a limb. I grew up in the 90вЂ™s among spoiled little brats who listened to pop music, the ever-annoying radio stations and MTV Asia, with one, just one alternative music show that aired once a week for 30 minutes (20 minutes if deduct the countless, annoying advertisements). Mixtapes and Mix cdвЂ™s are on the rise! ItвЂ™s a growing trend from the yesteryears much like retro fashion is making a big comeback. Its not an ultra-intellectual piece, but IвЂ™m straight to the point, k? (Sometimes). But how did your New Year celebration go?ДЄs promised, I have a New YearвЂ™s Special, and that is my take on Mixtapes. I donвЂ™t really care nor do I actually believe in it.

Happy New Year, everyone! Its 2012 and the end is near.
