Music for Theme CDs
Funds are limited this year, so some of my lesser friends and people who have already said they were going to give me a gift, are going to get a Mix Cd this year. I don't plan on just throwing some random songs on a CD though. I used to love making Mix Tapes and would spend hours, finding the right songs, drawing cover art, making tiny little booklets.. and I put the same time into making a CD. The Mix Cds I'm making for these people are going to have a certain theme that relates the CD to the person.
I've got most of the songs down pat, but a couple I'm having a shortage of songs for, and I come to present them to you in hopes that you will offer some suggestions in the Categories.
First CD: "The Rise and Fall of Nintendo"
This is the Mix I'm having the most trouble with. I'm trying to find some music that... is a music/video game hybrid. That mixes Guitar or Vocals with Old School Nintendo Synthesizer sounds or Music. Hard to fine stuff, for sure. Some Examples in this field are "Mario Twins" by Group X or "Bobby's Song" by Swimming is Floating
Second CD: "Spinning Psychology"
Music that makes references to the Mind. I've got a fair share of Pink Floyd songs. Just.. kind of "Mind Fuck" music that makes references to the decay or birth of the mind. "Where is my Mind" by the Pixies is an obvious one for this category.
Third CD: "Playground Crush'
In this one, I'm putting in songs that are kind of.. lighthearted and childish. Stuff that makes you reminisce back to the days of Grade School. The Moldy Peaches are good for this, but the girl I'm making it for is already a huge MP fan, so I'm not including any. An example would be "I can tell that we are going to be friends" by The White Stripes.
As always, thanks for any help you could throw my way.
