description:
when i saw that this mix had to be dedicated to a site member, my first, most obvious choice, was my best friend allison. upon second thought, i realized that i have made so many mixes in her honor, and i remembered that my friend danny also has a page on here. although he has never done anything with his page, he is still technically a site member. here is the back story: danny and i dated on and off for about two years. when our relationship was good, it was sooo good, and when it was bad, it was really awful. we havent talked a whole lot in the last few months, but we spoke on the phone just tonight, so im sort of inspired to make something for him. here are all the songs that remind me, in one way or another, of my friend danny rose. some of them i still love, some i really dont listen to anymore. some are incredibly meaningful, some just remind me of a silly time, but theyre all really important to me.
tracklist
| 1 | Alan Silvestri : Back To The Future theme |
|
this mix could probably just look something like the entire back to the future soundtrack, but ill stick with just this one. danny is obsessed with this movie, so much that we actually had a legit fight because i wouldnt watch it with him once. he also has any mail addressed to his house sent under the name marty mcfly. this was the first track off of the first mix he ever made me, so i feel that i should return the favor.

| 3 | Beastie Boys : Sabotage |

danny and a few other of my friends re-made this video, so any time i hear it, i think of their version. its so hilarious. they apparently ran into a few homeless guys while filming who actually thought they were the real beastie boys, and freaked out.

| 8 | Danzig : Mother (Live) |
|
i cant believe i almost forgot this one. we were all out in highland park once, and there was a karaoke event going on in this public courtyard type thing. there was a live band, and the whole night they had been catering to little kids and teenage girls, playing britney spears and "i will survive" over and over. they were very obviously bored. danny flipped through the book of songs, then got up there and sang this song to a crowd of highland park rich bitch parents and their kids. it was the most hysterical fucking thing ive ever seen.

| 12 | Gin Blossoms : Til I Hear It From You |

danny is way into movie soundtracks. he loves them. this song is on the empire records soundtrack, which is one of his favorite movies, but it's a double whammy because the two of us actually went to see the gin blossoms play live at the lincoln park zoo last summer. it was so much fun, even if they are kind of old now.

| 13 | John Mayer : Slow Dancing in a Burning Room |

oh yeah i forgot. stevie wonder isnt quite the top for danny. its john mayer. i dont think ive ever met anyone in my life who is more obsessed with this man, and believe me, i have met a shit ton of teenage girls. i have actually only heard this particular song once, but danny talks about it fucking constantly, and i know its one of his favorites. i really dislike john mayer, to be honest, so its not that this reminds me of danny in a good way. it actually reminds me of driving to said get up kids concert, above, when he and my friend matt made me listen to john mayer LIVE! three times in a fucking row while i groaned in the backseat. but when i hear john mayer, i also hear the name danny rose. i had to include it.

| 16 | The Get Up Kids : I'll Catch You |

it was late spring, 2005, and the get up kids played their last show at the metro in chicago. danny and i were broken up at the time, but for whatever reason, when this song came on he held my hand and didnt let go until the song was over. i cried, partly because of the gesture, and partly because the get up kids were breaking up. and partly because im an emo bitch. but this has always stayed one of "our" songs.

when danny did his rendition of that danzing song i peed my pants. No really i did, i never told anyone, but i did. I dont know whats worse that i peed my pants and didnt tell anyone, or that i dropped my ice cream cone... highland park was scarred for life.
i miss danny rose!
you should have included "my friends over you" since we met eachother partially because i dated danny and we both decided we were better friends than our relationships with danny. (well maybe not yours)
