So, at this point, I KNOW you all know my obsession with music. Can't get enough of it, looove finding new music, love jamming in the car/shower/anywhere in general to it, can't live without it... and so on & so forth. I love it so much that I want to share my love for it, in some small way, by making CD's of it for those that I love & adore. I especially like making CD's for people who seem to appreciate the music that I "share" with them as much as I do. If they know it or not, I put a LOT of thought & time into making each & every CD I make. I literally think of the recipient, go through my music (CD by CD, yep, I have yet to store all of my music on to my computer, seems too daunting of a task at this point. So, I actually sit at my PC & load CD after CD, grabbing different songs off of each & adding it to a play list that I am personalizing for said recipient) & really try to choose songs that I think that they might possibly love. Some CD's can take me up to 2 hours to create. Sounds like I am crazy? Like at that point when I am making a CD, that I don't have any form of a life? Well, you're probably correct on both accounts, but I actually LOVE doing it! I get to listen to some of my favorite music & be creative in my own little way (what? I know I didn't actually create the songs themselves, but putting them together in my own little mix is fun & satisfying to mua). Each one is filled with sweet music (in my humble opinion) & a little Laura Love from me. If I were to make a custom CD right at this very second, here is what would be on it...
1. "Kandi" by One Eskimo
2. "Can you find me?" by The Summer Set

8. "Clementine" by Sarah Jaffe
9. "Twisted" by Katie Melua
10. "Love the way you Lie" by Eminem ft. Rihanna
11. "Soldier of Love" by Sade
12. "Send you on your way" by Eastmountainsouth
13. "Summer Rain" by Belinda Carlisle (that's right, from the 80's)
14. "Electric Twist" by A Fine Frenzy
15. "Anything but the Truth" by Jack Johnson
16. "This Conversation" by The Submarines
17. "Who am I to say" by Hope
18. "Always on my mind (Willie Nelson cover)" by Iron & Wine
