How are you going to chose which song to put on the ILE mix tape. A personal favourite, an artist you feel other people should hear, something which shows how *with it* you are? Or some other method?

I was kind of thinking of playing something myself as ego-maniacal as that sounds. But then I'd like to put a song on it aswell I suppose. Thing is everyone will probably know the song anyway or already have it. I'll think of something.

I picked a song that I thought expressed sentiments other people would most be able to relate to, or at the very least recognise the predicament as one they've experienced/been through at some point in their lives.

i'm going to take a hit jam and add a verse from myself and shout 'REMIX!!!' over the chorus.

I wanted to be a timber across the rails. Something i would assume to be an odd mix .

Masonna? Isn't that the guy who wrote "Like A Surgeon?".

― Trevor, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If I put on a song by Space Dust that'll be a personal favourite, an artist I feel other people should hear, AND something which shows how *with it* I am. Did I tell you we're playing in Auckland on the 11th, Welington on the 12th...hey DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK. Which song tho'? I can't decide, they are all so great!

― duane, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No. You mean Weird Al Yankovic. MASONNA wrote "Like A Vagina".
