30 for Thursday Volume 1

I was talking to Miss Ellen Melon about her mix CD's ( of which I have a few) and how much I enjoyed the diversity on them. A DJ mix (for me anyway) has always had a steady build to it. Similar songs. I like Ellen's compilations. She said I should make more of my own. With this foray, I have yet to match the diversity, but we'll see how these develop.

30 minutes is about right. My commute to work is 50 minutes but when I think about where my friends are, 30 fits nicely. On the mainland, you may travel a bit longer than that, in Hawaii a bit shorter than that (depending on if you drive the speed limit on the Likelike) and 30 is do-able.

No playlist or complicated instructions this time. One track and I may or may not blend the songs together.

I couldn't have thought of the name if I wasn't already down with Thirsty Thirty. Check them out here.
