Red light
Green light of love
And death rides a horse; National disgrace
Chateau in virginia waters of march
On the table for two months
Off into the white light
In the black history month

This mix fills up the tape (2 secs off!) and takes full advantage of the open contest. No theme, just match the words. Well, I wanted this mix to have a diverse, uh, mix, of genres, and I wanted the tracks to work well together while maintaining their uniqueness. I think it works.

tracklist

1 Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf : Red Light Green Light
Ok, so not really knowing what song to start out with in a competition like this, I just picked one of my favorite songs and went from there. This song is courtesy of Charizma, a gifted MC who was taken from this world before his time. If this track is any indication, he would have done great things for the world of hip-hop. But this track isn't sad like that story is. With its stop and go beat and smooth-ass flow, you will become a fan. You have no choice. It just happens. "Red light."

4 Russian Circles : Death Rides a Horse
Hellz yeah! Russian Circles. Know them. Love them. I have to thank Jeph from QC for introducing me to this band.

You can actually picture one of the four horsemen of the apocolypse riding in and tearing shit up to this: his theme song.

This is one of those songs that just puts me in a trance. It is so consistently quiet, while still having the low buzzing sound that makes you feel like you are in a sci-fi movie.

12 Loretta Lynn : Table for Two
Ever since Travis put Merle Haggard on one of his mixtapes, I have been listening to a bit of country from that era. This woman here is an angel. And her story-telling and voice are second-to-none.

Here's my fake ending for the mix. This song takes it down a notch with some Finnish lounge/soul/R&B. One would think it would be a nice way to end the mix. Soft like Charmin.

18 Death from Above 1979 : Black History Month (Girl on Girl Revision Featuring Final Fantasy)
After starting the mix with my favorite hip-hop artists, I decided to end it with another one of them: DFA1979. This mix is a little more dancy than the original track, leaving you bobbing your head and smiling as the final track fades...
