Biffy Clyro (twice! Well done, James!), At The Drive-In, Head Automatica. I'd marry him! Interesting what you say about Spotify. I delivered a playlist to a certain someone on Valentine's this year and it went down quite well. That said, I've been put to shame by James' brilliant effort with the sleeve!

Reminded me that one of my favourite mixes was actually from my parents - they made me a double cd for my 21st birthday with the number one song for the week of my birthday each year. It started with Boomtown Rats - I don't Like Mondays and included some great songs as well as some best left forgotten but it was so personal that I've taken the idea and done it for a few other people since! Makes me a bit sad that as the charts don't really mean as much anymore I likely won't be able to do the same for my son! Once again - great post and thanks for sharing :) What a great post and what a wonderful story not to mention amazing CD!

Now, once a month, three of us all share a playlist and use Google Wave to comment on it. I see what you mean about the assembling of a mix tape or CD gives you something tangible and "feels" better but I do quite enjoy these playlists and it's done what mixtapes have done for me in the past. I also share my playlists on my blog and get feedback from others via the blog, Facebook and Twitter. So while we've lost the personal aspect we have gained the way of sharing it with multiple people. That said, I do feel that commenting on playlists is something Spotify need to bring in. It does need to be more social. My mate Matt had this great idea of sharing Spotify playlists between us. Now, once a month, three of us all share a playlist and use Google Wave to comment on it.
