description:
On February 8th 2008, I sent the following mix to a real live girl. I was sort of nervous. What if she thought it was a bit too forward? Luckily, thats the sort of thing Valentine's Day is good for. I wanted to fill it with mostly stuff she hadnt heard before (if possible) but also have it be good and fit everything I wanted to say. It took a month of sifting through all my music and remaking the mix over and over again, but I was and still am happy with how it came out.
Im glad to say that when the mix arrived on Feb. 14th, the reaction went far better than I planned also. So there you go kids. Dreams do come true. And also, it doesnt hurt to put a lot of time into creating mixtapes either.

Track 2 from 10,000 Hz Legend
Length: 00:04:37 Year: 2001 |

Track Description:
Not only is this a very ultra earnest robotic romance song, but it ends with a joke of sorts where the male robotic voice asks "So, how does this make you feel?" And the female robotic voice says "Well I really think you should stop smoking." Within the concept of the song this could be taken in many different ways, but I found it funny, because months before I gave this mix to this special lady, she mentioned to me that she didnt like smokers, and I quit smoking after 10 years. A little inspiration goes a long way. SHOW LESS
