The Best Gift: A Kickass Music Compilation CD
Every year a friend of mine makes a music compilation CD of a bunch of songs he deems totally awesome that he gives to friends and family for Christmas. He creates the CD cover, inserts, and even designs the artwork on the CD itself. It’s a nice homemade gift that takes a shitload of time and effort and I am lucky to be a recipient of his yearly gift.
Since I am not a selfish person and love sharing music, below is ALL 17 tracks from the CD in order (since order is very important when making any CD or mixtape). I’ve listed the artists and track names above each song. Get ready to listen to some great songs!

I hope you enjoyed the music. Cheers!
Nice looking compilation. Mixtapes are soooo goood. And although they can take a while to put together (the best ones do) they are really fun to do!!!!! Thanks for posting this!
You know we’re gonna have to blip these.. haha. Nice CD, Merry Christmas.
@Rocco I love mixtapes and CD’s. They are the best! What’s better than sharing cool music?
@Oxy Hell yeah we are! Happy Festivus!
Hmmmmm CD’s are not as convenient as they used to be though unfortunately. It would be fun to have a website that let you upload your mixtape tracks, artwork etc and it packaged it nicely on a page and let you send the links out to all your friends. Im sure something like this must exist!
@Rocco Yeah, it would be cool. Mixwit.com did something kinda like that but they officially shut down. Sucks. Lemme know if you find anything new!
That is awesome! I spend HOURS putting together playlists for Spin Classes. I should utilize this idea!
