Ah, I can hook you up with Orb, if you like. Antler Dance, coincidentally, the only album of theirs I haven't heard.
Personality mix - I came up with the idea of a personality mix back in college. The first one was by accident.
It was the last day of my freshman year at Carnegie Mellon and I thought it fairly unlikely that I'd be coming back. I really didn't want to go home (read "my parents' new place in Connecticut") where I'd have to set up my room and didn't feel like home. I hung out with Zarf, who was also staying late, and we played the music game of "ooh, have you heard this?" and "you MUST know this one..."
That CD reminds me of Zarf, of KGB, my introduction to Filk, and comedy music even better than Doctor Demento had to offer.
Later, at U.Conn, I asked my friend Heather for a mix tape. She asked me what I'd like on it. I said to "make me a mix that's you". She made me a mix called "Read the Words, Dammit!"
Since then, I've asked many friends, near and absent, for personality mixes. For some, the songs describe who they were at the time they made the mix. For others, it's music they can't live without. Some chose to make a history of their lives.
