After 11 builds leading up to it, and almost 9 years after beginning, TLoM Car Mix is available on CD-replacement service Spotify, as a three-CD set entitled Crossovers. Â They’re broken down like so:
CD1: My favorites from each of the original Car Mixes from 2003-2005.
CD2: Omissions, songs that deserved to be in the original mixes but weren’t. Â I had to have known about them prior to 2006 to be considered for inclusion.
CD3: The new generation of the car mix, selections that I’m currently listening to. Â Only songs released in 2006 or later were considered for inclusion.

Whether people still care about them or not, I had a lot of fun, more than even makes sense, making the original compilation. Â Starting some time around v0.5 I started designing with the concept of “flow” in mind, not an actual mix but a transition from song to song that is pleasing over the course of the album. Â I tried to keep that spirit alive with CD 2 and 3. Â These are all burnable, if one was able to find all the songs (or rip via Stereo Mix). Â In an upcoming post I’ll go deeper into why the songs were chosen for 1.0, and what music has meant to me and the site over time.
