When I went to college, my roommate had a guy friend (who I think had a crush on her) and he made her a mix tape that he called "Cool Meridith's Really Cool Tape Of Cool Music". It was the best mix tape I've ever heard! I made myself a copy. :)
Fast forward 17 years (Yes, I am that old...quit doing that math!) to last Saturday. Sam and I were doing an early spring cleaning in our house and I found that mix tape from college! I tossed it to Sam and said "Hey, for Valentines Day you should convert these songs into an itunes playlist for me.".
Because these kind of projects make Sam giddy, he was up for the challenge! Unfortunately, I had lost the tape cover that lists all the songs and the artist. You should see my husband's detective work in figuring out all the songs! I am seriously so excited! When all is said and done, I'll put the playlist on my blog and you will completely understand why this is the best mix tape ever! Well, hopefully you will.....unless you like country or butt rock...then this is NOT the mix for you! Just back away slowly. Never look back.
Have I mentioned lately that Sam is the gnarliest dude ever!?!

He IS gnarley and rad too!
Both our boys can play Axel Foley on the piano.
Here's a great song intro...
"A little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane. Two American kids doin' the best they can..."
That is exactly Sam's type of project!!
Where is this word "gnarly" coming from? I don't think it should be used unless you're doing skateboard and BMX bike tricks. "Rad" just shouldn't be used any more (unless you're abbreviating 'radiology'). That mix kept me up way too late, hopefully Carrie will post her list soon. They're not exactly the songs I would put on a mix tape but they're songs you can't help enjoying when they're on.

(oh yea, I decided I'm going to put my word verifications on comments from now on)
i think thomas made me a mix tape back in the day.
good times! can't wait to see your list!
My friend and I were just discussing "mix" tapes that we had from old boyfriends. So exciting, I can't wait to hear it. Oh, and I copied you and did craisins and White choc chips. So yummy.
ha ha - i am def. in the wrong generation-! cool idea for a valentine gift-- with a pedicure attatched!
Sam's great!
What a great gift! I have some great memories of some great mix tapes. That's a big project!
At least it wasn't from your old boyfriend!
