Description: The Little Lovin' Tour will blow your fucking mind peoples! It's touring AROUND THE WORLD. Holy crap! Coming to a city near you!
The tour begins in Sydney, Australia. On the grassy fields near Bronte Beach. Splendid.
MC is comedian Bill Bailey. Superb!
All of the musicians featured below are people I would give ALL MY MONEY to see live, because sadly I have never seen them live and I probably never will.

Description: WARNING: This mix is ridiculous.
I'm tired and stressed. I'm up to my eyeballs in work and research I don't understand. I thought I'd have a break and enter the contest.
Now it's 3:20am. Bad idea.
Not quite sure what I was thinking when I decided to do Snow White. Could i have made it any harder on myself!?!? How many songs do you know about cleaning and washing yourself?
Anyway, the result is something completely bizarre and stupid.
I think it's pretty close to what Baz Luhrmann would do with Snow White if he decided to make it into one of his wanky films though. Wanker.

Description: So i've done this a little differently... I guess i've done it wrong because i haven't really stuck to the guidelines. woops.
I tried, but i don't seem to have just songs that stand the test of time. I have albums and artists that stand the test of time.... i found it hard to pick just one song by them.
A few of these songs are all-time favourites that I'll always adore. The others are from artists and albums that i love and will always love. I hope you can all forgive me for being naughty.

Description: I think it might have been Johnny Luddite who put forward the idea for a contest of making a mix based on your favourite colour. Well, there hasn't been a contest based on colours but I love the idea. So I've done it anyway.
Red is an amazing colour. It's the most emotive colour and that's why i love it so.
P.S. I'm wearing red right now. Coincidence? ....yes actually

Description: This isn't just a summer mix. It's more specific. It's a summer NIGHTS mix, and it's made for those warm, barmy evenings when all you want to do is sit outside with your closest friends, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a nice cold beer.

Description: Excuse me while I get all political.
John Howard, the prime minister of Australia, really needs to fuck off. He's been in power for more than a decade now. He's blatantly lied to the Australian people on many occasions and has basically just fucked australia in the arse for almost half my life.
He's the leader of the Liberal party, but don't let the name fool you because there's nothing 'liberal' about the liberal party. They're conservative right wing fucks. (I'm sorry if you're right wing. I don't mean to offend, and you're probably not fucked)
Anyway, here's the point of the mix. ELECTION TIME is coming up real soon. I'M EXCITED because it's looking pretty good for the Labor party. (they're not wonderful but i'm looking at the greater picture here and anyone is better than little johnny howard)
This is my celebration mix for when the liberals are finally kicked out of office. I'm trying to be optimistic here. If it doesn't happen, I'll be making a "I'm going overseas for the next 4 years" mix.

Description: Well I wasn't going to enter this contest because two people I know died around the same time last week. Both of their funerals were on the same day but I only went to one because I can't handle two funerals in one day and I hadn't seen Pat in about 7 years of so. God love you Pat.
After going to Mopsi's 'funeral' yesterday I was inspired to make a tribute mix for her and I can't deny the bizarre timing of this contest and her death.
Mopsi wanted a disco instead of a funeral. So i went to her disco funeral last night. I haven't seen her in about 3 years. It's weird how you don't really miss someone until they die and you realise you're never ever going to see them again.
I found out Mopsi released a few albums in the 80s at her 'funeral'. WHY DIDN'T I EVER PICK YOUR BRAIN ABOUT YOUR FASCINATING LIFE?
Mopsi, always shocking and spectacular in every way. God Bless.
P.S. The cover art wouldn't work but i kinda like it black anyway

Description: My poker name is Dolly 7 Fingers. I speak with a dodgy southern american accent (that's the southern part of the States, not the continent) and I'm decked head to toe in BLING BABY.
This is Dolly 7 Finger's table. Money NOW. No Limit Texas Hold 'Em is the game. LET'S GET IT ON!
This is what I'll be playing at my next poker night...which i really should organise soon.
I would just like to add that while Dolly is my alter ego, I don't actually dress up like her and put on an accent. That would be weird.
I just use her 'energy' when I'm playing poker because she's a confident and aggressive poker player. Rachael would rather take her money and go get pissed.

Description: Winter is really pissing me off. All your summery road trip mixes are making me bitter. I'm sick of wearing pants. I want to wear dresses and skirts again and do summery things in them...like jumping over sprinklers.
Spare a little thought for those of us in the southern hemisphere, slowly turning albino, while you cruise along in your red convertibles with your hair flowing in the warm ocean breeze.
This is my bitter winter road trip mix. It's a bit late, but oh well.
I'm not really bitter. Winter will be over soon and then it will be your turn.
This mix should have been the soundtrack to a road trip I should have taken during the uni break. Last year I went to Kallala Beach with a few of my friends, but we didn't get to go this year. Maybe next year...

Description: I work at a place called Penrith Panthers Leagues Club (which we call Penni Vegas). It's a big fuck off club, with a few restaurants, many bars and many many more pokie machines. When it first opened it was the biggest in the southern hemisphere or something ridiculous. Or maybe it was the state... Anyhow, now it's not so big in comparison to the new ones.
I've worked there for longer than i'd like to admit. I have a love/hate relationship with the place. I know deep down inside it's a dump, but I love it anyway. I always have the best time when i go out there.
I was there last night celebrating the end of another term of uni with uni mates. My work friends weren't with me. When i put on the juke box, as i always do, and played the songs i always play, I found myself in nostaglia mode, reminiscing about all the good times we've had there. For some reason we don't seem to go out after work anymore...
Now I can carry those memories around with me in CD form.

Description: I feel like shit today. I'm going to listen to this mix, feel shit and occasionally marvel at how high some men can sing.
I'm only going to give myself the time it takes to play this mix to wallow. Then it's chin up. Press on. There are kids dying in Africa for fuck's sake, you selfish, self indulgent bitch.
Fantastic. I feel heaps better now.
If anyone needs me i'll be in my room watching JAWS and eating lemon sorbet.

Description: This mix is for Betsy (Teampeepody)
I'm looking forward to being an old nanna with you. Drinking, knitting, playing poker and rockin' out in that retirement village/resort.
Betsy wouldn't be very happy if i posted a pic of her on the net, so you'll just have to use your imagination.
P.S. I apologise for beginning many of the descriptions with "remember when..." or "remember the time..."

Description: I hate the sound of my alarm clock more than i hate Hugh Grant. And i fucking hate that bastard.
Waking up for me is kinda like a bad hang over, where any kind of noise is too loud and painful to listen to. That's why i don't listen to music until i've had a shower.
The first half of this mix is for getting ready and the second is for the car ride (i've had a few close calls driving in the morning so i can't stress the importance of the second half enough).
I like how this has turned out so i'll be listening to this next semester. For now I'm enjoying the absence of my alarm clock and the freedom of waking up whenever I want to dammit.
So I hop out of the shower feeling some what refreshed but still tired and half asleep. I want to listen to music that makes me feel good and optimistic. On goes the mix...

Description: I often made a train trip from Zurich to the south of Switzerland, Ticino, when I lived there, just so I could gaze out the window.
The train line passed through some of the most spectacular scenery I've ever seen. Like looking at a series of postcards for a few hours.
Luscious greens, misty mountains (snow capped in Winter), waterfalls, fields painted yellow with flowers in Spring, sheepys...
This is a mix of some of the songs that kept me company on those trips. I thought I would dedicate a mix to Switzerland seeing as it played a pivitol role in my life.
Criteria: must compliment scenery
