intro to into the light mix<br>
<br>
so if you've listened to the mix, you know by now that it focuses on<br>
acoustic music. i really like the idea of a  single person on stage, with<br>
songs at their barest and most pure ... actually it's somewhat of an<br>
obsession. this mix hopefully should prove that acoustic doesn't mean<br>
bland. i'm def. not a fan of lame, generic, bloodless coffeehouse<br>
warbling, and it amazes me the diff. sounds you can get from an acoustic<br>
guitar (def. more so than a piano, imo).<br>
<br>
aside from the acoustic bit i also wanted to generally pick people who<br>
aren't that famous (some are people i know) and also people who really<br>
sound like they know their instrument and come up w/ more interesting<br>
things than just strumming the same 4 chords over and over again. also,<br>
i've been wanting to do a mix where i have several songs by the same<br>
people for some time. an ancillary point that came up is that the quality<br>
of the recording doesn't matter a whole lot to me so long as it's<br>
listenable, although i'm sure that for others it's a much bigger deal.<br>
<br>
heh. that was short. this is prob. my most cohesive mix thus far. let me<br>
know your thoughts!<br>
