I recently made this mix for a friend who I'd just met of songs I like that he might like. We decided a mix exchange is a good way to start off any kind of relationship. I was musing on posting the one he gave me but I think I'll just leave my choices up for judgment.
Its not the complete 90 minutes but I thought 23 was enough to be getting on with. I found a load of songs to add to the database as well, so I feel like I've contributed a wee bit.
Oh, and he loved it :)
