I made this to trade for someone at work. I didn't know a great deal about what kind of music he liked, so I decided to make a compilation of experimental, lesser known music with a mellow, dreamy mood. He told me he liked listening to this when he was writing.
Just for fun, the films used in the cover art are:
Flesh and the Devil (1927)
Seventh Heaven (1927)
Pandora's Box (1929, Ger.)
Love Me Tonight (1932)
Hold Your Man (1933)
Queen Christina (1933)
Casablanca (1942)
Notorious (1946)
A Place in the Sun (1951)
Pickup on South Street (1953)
Baby Doll (1956)
Lolita (1962)
Vivre sa vie (1962)
Kiss (Warhol) (1963)

I already have a feeling I love this mix, since a) I love all the songs I know of and b) I just have a good feeling about the rest. You can make me a tape like this any time, and I promise I'll try to do my best to make you a tradeable mixtape back. :)

Mixtape Potpourri I: Second Place
I really like Current 93! And Bauhaus. And number 16, I like too.
It's a good movie. I already saw it twice at school, for my German class. In german it's called 'Lola Rennt'.
