I am thinking of making a mix cassette tape for the guy I am dating....is that tooo cheesey?

I think it would all depend on who you are making the tape for, ie what kind of a person he is and whether or not he'd be into that kind of thing. If you think he would appreciate it then go for it. I dont think its too cheesy at all, and stick to the cassette too! Whenever I have made mixes for people I've used cassettes.

yeah I was thinking of just making him a painting because he has been buggy me one but thats really personal.
I think he would like the cassette he has a cassette player in his car but it would behard to pick good songs that flow together we are both full album people

Thats why I enjoy it! Cassette or painting, they are both personal really. Mixed CD is no good though, it does have to be a tape really.

will you suggest some songs please?

What kind of stuff do you both listen to? I listen to all kinds really.

see thats the hard part I know he loves bowie, the rolling stones, beck, tv on the radio and Arcade fire

Hmm well id suggest using songs important to you rather than trying to find stuff that you think he may like to be honest.

However, i dont know if this will be any help but personally I find i start 90% of the mixes I make, regardless of who they are for with this Hope of the States – The Black Amnesias – Listen free and discover music at Last.fm

i am so freaking close to getting this custom knockoff explorer its insane. the guitar is really heavy...not sure what kind of wood. the neck profile is amazing. tomorrow i'm gonna go in the shop and plug it in and see how the pickups sound. its a million times better than my crappy epi sg

I took a few steps without my crutches... it hurt like hell but it's progress
