Mixes are supposed to give off a certain ambience. Funny how when I listen to "The O.C. Mix 1" and "The O.C. Mix 2" I don't think of the television show at all. I think about myself and my life - playlists and music cater to egocentricism. Every song can somehow be yours. This is the test of a brilliant song. Get people to fight over emotional ownership of the song and you've got a top 10 billboard hit. Come on, get out those quills.
