Hey. I'm new here. Nikki from MD. Hope I'll be welcome. Seems like a pretty cool place.

I found this site because I'm making a mixtape for my friend. She's moving away this year and shes ment everything to me. She's helped me get through the hardest times in my life and I love her like a sister. I need some songs to tell her how much our friendship means to me and also that I'll also be there for her if she ever needs anything. I already have about 10, but I'm still looking. Gah. That's some sappy shit right there. Well. Give me some suggestions here. Thanks. (-:

what songs are already chosen?

You should give her a copy of Craig Thompson's "Goodbye, Chunky Rice"

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's "I see a darkness" is possibly the most adorable song about best-friendships ever.

But, yeah, knowing what songs you've already planned for would be useful.

five years pass...

Ok, I am making a mixtape for my sister's 30th, a song per year and a little stuck on some years. No theme, it just has to be something she'd like (to describe her briefly, 29/yo white girl 1xtra listener), doesn't have to be something she would know. my very loose choices so far:

1979. Chic - Good Times
1980. Diana Ross 'Upside Down' v. Stevie Wonder 'Master Blaster (Jammin)'
1981. Prince - Controversy
1982. The Gap Band 'You Dropped A Bomb On Me'?
1983. Run-DMC 'It's Like That'?
1984. Whodini 'Friends'
1985. ???
1986. Something off Control?
1987. Eric B & Rakin 'I know you got soul'?
1988. Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock 'It Takes Two'?
1989. Soul II Soul 'Back to life'
1990. Dee-lite 'Groove Is in the heart'
1991. ummm... A Roller Staking Jam Named 'Saturdays'?
1992. Mary and Biggie 'Real Love'
1993. A Tribe Called Quest 'Electric Relaxation'
1994. Prodigy 'Voodoo People'
1995. D'Angelo 'Cruisin'
1996. Meth & Mary 'All I Need'
1997. Lynden David Hall 'The Jimmy Lee Story'
1998. Lauryn Hill 'Ex Factor'
1999. Dreem Team 'Buddy '99'
2000. Wookie 'Battle' v. Musiq 'Just Friends (Sunny)'
2001. Jill Scott 'A Long Walk'
2002. Angie Stone 'Wish I Didn't Miss You'
2003. Layo and Bushwacka 'Love Story'
2004. Brandy 'Talk About Our Love' maybe.
2005. The Game 'Hate It Or Love It'
2006. Ne-Yo 'So Sick'
2007. Amy Winehouse 'You Know I'm No Good'
2008. something from the erykah album would be appropriate I guess, although she didn't really like the last couple, maybe Solange. I haven't really been paying enough attention.
(Dunno whether to do 2009.)

please fill free to name better tunes or make your own lists or whatever.
