My favorite mixtapes are usually the most insane mixes of random types of music; a smorgasbord of musical delight for the ears. I found that this way, I never get bored. For example, below I have a good mix of newbies and oldies; jazz, blues, trance, electronica, folk, indie, etc. I'd say that's some pretty good variation right there. I really do hate classifying music though, it's one of the hardest things in the world for me to do!
