The Ultimate Sap-fest, Part 2.

May 13th, 2008

Well, I’ve completed the first installment of Sap-fest, a mix of sad, sappy, tearful tunes. I say it’s the first because I made it in less than two hours. It is truthfully self-indulgent. It isn’t that I didn’t take anyone advice, I did. I even opened up suggestions to a broader audience, see here. And I did get some awesome ideas. That’s the problem. What I thought could be squelched in one fallow swoop is actually probably going to take volumes, and why shouldn’t it? So this first one is like my offering to you, a lot of melodies that make me feel oh-so bittersweet. I think because of this one I have been introduced to so many new musical woes. In a good way, of course. So don’t be disappointed that your suggestion doesn’t appear on this one, there will be more to come.

Side note: in no way am I trying to compete with the AWESOMENESS that are the Funky Carter mixes. Just had to get that out of the way. If you haven’t heard these, ask for them there. Plus I owe ALL of my good taste in music to Aaron, that is the straight-up truth. That’s how I roll. By the way, this mix contains all the other music not influenced by Ace. This was not planned, I promise.

Disclaimer: this mix is available to anyone who wants it, just email me: sadieandleo@mac.com. I’m not guaranteeing that you will like it, but please keep your harshness to a minimum, these songs are windows into my soul so if you get loud I’ll just cry and then you will have been responsible for making a girl in glasses cry and that’s punishable by being ignored for eternity.

    Dude, that’s awesome. I would never consider this a mix CD competition!* I didn’t offer any input because I figured Misery Mixes are kinda personal.

    Also, it’s sweet of you to say, but you and I both know you do not owe your taste in music to me. You were already into good stuff when I met you.

    * - Unless you titled your CD “Funky Carter sucks” or something.
