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.

Flesh and the Devil (1927)
Seventh Heaven (1927)
Pandora's Box (1929, Ger.)

Hold Your Man (1933)
Queen Christina (1933)
Casablanca (1942)
Notorious (1946)

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. :)

Congrats on first -- the future thanks you. Now, make like a tree and get the hell out.
