Well, lately I've been getting really into mix CDs, simply because "where words fail, music speaks" (anon.). I've made a fair few, including 2 very important ones. As most of you who actually read my journal know, I lost both my parents in a car accident, in December 2006, and so I made a CD for each of them, of songs they used to sing, because really, they were my greatest influences for my musical taste.

2. Love Me Do - The Beatles
3. Little Miss Can't Be Wrong - Spin Doctors
4. Some Girls - Racey
