june a to z mix tape review - by allison

YES!!! our mix tape club has launched. and i loved EVERY a to z mix. a little caveat, you do not need to follow my review format. say what you want, however you want to say it.

ALLISON - personally, i freaking LOVED my mix. obviously. they were my songs. but my two favs were
1. timshel (mumford and sons) really speaks to me on what is going on in my life and the support i would love to get from my brothers. BTW - insider info, marcus mumford loves john steinbeck and he writes a lot of his music based from steinbeck's books. this one is from east of eden.
2. express (christina aguleria). what can i say. she is a D.I.V.A. and that song gets me going everytime

my least favorite song on my mix i would have to say is zombie. the only reason i put it on the cd was to remind me of this:


ANGIE:
1. birds (kate nash). this song is so great. funny, catchy. and i think it is a great love song.
2. transatlanticism (death cab for cutie). OMG. favorite song out of all the mixes. not a huge fan of the cutie's, but this song i could listen to on repeat a million times. AND it reminds me of the movie beastly that nicki and i just watched.

least fav: names (?). i don't know why, but i could not get through this song. it just seemed to drone on... and it reminded me of that bible story where they say "jonas begat lars and lars begat mark, mark begat himself," etc.

CHRISTINE:
1. georgia (hansen). LOVED this song. fun, poppy, great harmonies. ps. - where is my new hansen cd x?
2. sexyback (jt). i was actually going to put this on my mix, but knew christine would. i love jt. and wish he would bring his sexyback to music. i miss him.

least fav: rumors (lindsay lohan). guh. i just hate her whiny voice. although i do think she is a great actor. singing is not what i think she should be doing...

NICKI:
1. emerge (fischerspooner). it's sexy and dancey and it really takes me away. LOVE it.
2. home (edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros). totally into this kind of genre right now. i want to put this song on a picture movie dvd thinginy for my icelandic trip.

least fav: have to go with xtal (aphex twin). this is the type of song that if i was at a club dancing i would skip out and order a drink.

and to me, the winner for the overall best mix would be angie's. it is definitely the most cohesive. and the more you listen to it, the more you like it.
