Found Playlists: Mix of the Female Pursuasion

A few years ago I put together a 2 disk mix for a very close friend whom I’ve since lost contact with and feel horrible for doing so. The mix captured several of the female artists (or at the very least female-fronted artists) that I was listening to at the time or already had in my collection. I ripped each CD to MP3 and then put together the mixes using Nero (I think) to burn them back to audio CDs. Looking at the list I can put my fingers on a commercial CD for each of these tracks (I think I was proud of myself for that at the time). Each of my mixes usually has one tragic, awkward flaw, but this is probably one of the best I ever put together.

Without further adieu, here’s a list of the songs in the mix, with a link to the artist whenever possible:

Looking back on this mix it doesn’t have a whole lot of depth, but it does a perfect job at capturing some of the CDs in heavy rotation at the time. It was great to revisit some of these websites to discover new releases, little tidbits, or the fact that the band broke up a long time ago.

I apologize for boring you with a random playlist from the past, but the playlist and what it represents mean a lot to me.
