packaging )

this is a tape for a freshman girl in my sophomore math and japanese one classes. i think she has a crush on me, or something. anyway, i started this tape last week, and when i was almost finished with actually deciding what songs i wanted on it, i asked he if she wanted it. i don't think it's exactly her tastes, but she may enjoy it. pretty mellow indie rock stuff for the most part, but a few faster and more agressive songs (moonraker, the pine, etc).

[ music | ashlee simpson - pieces of me (download now!) ]

Hi I'm new. Alright so this all ties into my friend's 20th bday coming up. We always make big deals out of each other's bdays so this year my theme for her is "Things You Love" and here's what I got her:

An engraved frame that cost me $50. The frame says "It's Always You In My Big Dreams..Konstantine" in script. The picture inside is a pic of Andrew from Soco on my cell phone talking to my friend (she couldnt come to the concert so I got him to say hi).

Then behind that pic is a picture that I made on photoshop of a pictures of her and the love of her life. Their relationship is weird, complicated, and so wrong its right (if that makes sense). Anyway, I printed the pic out on photopaper and put it behind the Soco one so its there whenever she wants to see it. Here it is in case you want to see (opinions please?)

http://www.dirrtydiva.com/stuff/jennbday/jennbdaysmall.gif

Then I got her a moulin rouge framed pic from Target because she loves the Moulin Rouge, a horse (and I need to find a cowboy soon haha) because thats what she told me she wanted when I asked her what she wanted for her bday, a Soco shirt, a Soco poster...and I'm buying her lunch.

BUT..here's where you guys come in..lol..I'm also making a mixtape and I need help with it. Any suggestions you have for a title, pictures I could include as part of the packaging, creative ways to print out the lyrics, more songs to include, etc would be
great.

Here's what I have so far.

Title: Songs for a Punk Rock Princess (eh really not sure about this)
Packaging: brown paper bag as a sleeve that a slim-cd case slides into.
On the cover: these words printed out on in type-writer font
"in the end peter pan pulled off tinkerbell's wings so she could never leave, sometimes love is just another way to bleed"

Track listing printed out on a sheet inside the slim-cd case

something corporate - punk rock princess (acoustic)
goo goo dolls - iris (acoustic)
edwin mccain - i'll be (acoustic)
ewan mcgregor - your song (elton john remake)
tim mcgraw - tiny dancer ('nother elton remake)
jimmy eat world - for me this is heaven
something corporate - konstantine (recorded version)
finch - letters to you (acoustic)
evanescence - my immortal (acoustic)
lifehouse - everything
alkaline trio - every thug needs a lady
brand new - moshi moshi
dashboard confessional - hands down (acoustic)
the early november - ever so sweet

i really, really, really, need ideas for a front and/or back cover though. i was thinking maybe a cute pic of two kids kissing? or maybe just a tiara? i dunno..

[ mood | creative ]
[ music | Quicksand - how soon is now? ]

Ideas for a mixtape of alternative cover versions?

Title: "Cover me, I'm going in!"

I'm thinking along the lines of:

Cake - I will survive
Marylin Manson - Sweet Dreams
Fear Factory - Cars
Limp Bizkit - Faith
Faith No More - Easy

They don't have to be hard rock, but they were the first songs that came to mind. Any other thoughts?

I should really actually make some of these mixes sometime. and title them. [28 Apr 2004|03:08pm]

saetia- woodwell (sweetest instrumental song ever)
the dismemberment plan- girl o'clock
the plot to blow up the eiffel tower- it's in his kiss
her space holiday- japanese gum
the international noise conspiracy- capitalism stole my virginity
this bike is a pipe bomb- of chivalry and romance in a dumpster

majority rule- xoxo
magrudergrind- the plastic cancer
circle takes the square- in the nervous light of sunday
cap'n jazz- precious
black eyes- deformative
an albatross- you can't take that hot rod with you when you go
the assistant- we are all collateral damage
explosions in the sky- remember me as a time of day



anyone know of any bands that are similar to defiance, ohio/against me!/ghost mice?
