My roommate is my favorite person. She is fun and clean and doesn't annoy me. Last night we both got really drunk and puked. Consequently I've spent today in bed making a mix for her. She's a film student, so this mix is a compilation of great songs that always without fail will remind you of the great movies they were in. I also included sound clips from old movies throughout the mix and I really like the way it sounds.

tracklist

1	Audrey Hepburn : The Mean Reds
	Holly Golightly: "Listen, you know those days when you get the mean reds?" Paul "Fred" Varjak: "Mean reds? You mean like the blues." Holly: "No, the blues are because you're getting fat or maybe its been raining too long. You're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. You ever get that feeling?" Fred: "Sure."

	I woke up in the middle of the night a few days ago with this song in my head. It was really bizarre because I haven't heard it or even really thought about Donnie Darko in a long time, but this is definitely one of those songs that brings the movie flooding back when you hear it. SHOW MORE
