Mix CDs now always make me think of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. And of Charlie in The Perks of Being a Wallflower! He was so thoughtful in making that mixtape. He didn't just slap some top 40 hits on it and call it good.

I think I'll call this one "Songs that will make me not dread getting out of bed on school days." It's a bit of a mouthful. But a CD just provides a tangible something that an ipod can't.
