This is fun! I have a few songs left to download from CD, a few to search out on iTunes, and a few where I'm torn between one song or another.
Does anyone know a good source of where to find out what songs were released the year one was born?
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Damn. This is harder than I thought - I'm @ 79 minutes, and I only have 18 tracks. I might have to leave it there, because the mixes that I have seem to work really really well.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Moonlit, you might also want to look at Brenda Lee. She had a couple of US #1s that year ("I'm Sorry" & "I Want to Be Wanted.")
DX, I said it before and I'll say it again -- Johnny Ray, "Cry." Possibly the first rock&roll slow-dance record.

Why does my CD let me burn more than an hour of music? They always seem to work in CD players ... all you people and your 80 min limits confuse me.
Also, I'm thinking about burning another one, in mp3 format, to send with the 'regular' one so people loading right into the computer won't have to type all the song names. </ipod freak>

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
psst, erin: an hour is only 60 minutes

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just back from Amoeba. Traded in $88 worth of CDs (all burned on the iMac before I threw 'em back) and picked up the first season of Homicide on DVD, Fontella Bass's comeback album from '72 (it's pretty great and was just released on CD), a funk compilation from the cut out bin (I already have several but only had "Let It Whip" on 45) and finally a record that I feel slightly cheesy for owning. So I might be able to extract a guilty pleasure off that.

Okay, feeling really dumb now. :-)
Does it help that one of my songs is "It's Hard to Be Happy (When You're Not Using the Metric System)"? I constantly think that an hour should be 100 minutes.

There was a metric clock...
Teppy's going to like my mix. It's a harder rocking mix than I would've expected, but this happens when you start throwing in roadtrip songs. I've been pretty successful having most songs satisfying more than one category at a time. So many unrequited songs with "blue" in the title. But I don't feel like that really counts for anything unless each song satisfied both its own category and the one that follows it. That would be cool.

msbelle, I'm making up for my cheating by having "Pink" in the song title and the artist title on my colour song. Am I forgiven?
(No, the artist isn't Pink.)
But I don't feel like that counts unless I could link each song segue by having each song satisfy both its own category and the one that follows it.
I'm a bit obsessed with satisfying multiple categories, but I don't think I could go that far! I do have three songs in a row without a word in their titles, though.
