Way back when burning CDs was still a novel thing, I used to derive great pleasure from compiling custom CDs and creating full artwork and whatnot for them. (Click on any of these images for the full-size image.)<\/p>\n

\"cover\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is one of the very first ones I did. The idea was, suppose my life was a movie… what would the soundtrack be? And this is what I came up with. I found it the other day in the back of my car – I wonder what it was doing there?<\/p>\n

Let’s open up the CD case, shall we?<\/p>\n

\"inside<\/a><\/p>\n

Ah, there’s the song list. Rather unusual – but then, I’m rather unusual myself, so it fits!<\/p>\n

\"inside<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s the inside jacket – yes, I even went so far as to create a folded insert.<\/p>\n

\"disc\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there, of course, is the CD (sorry it’s crooked).<\/p>\n

It all seems a bit corny now in retrospect – but at the time it meant a lot to me. And many (although not all) of these songs are still relevant – they haven’t lost their appropriateness as pieces in the soundtrack to my life just because a few years have passed.<\/p>\n

It’s like a time capsule in a way… a look back at how I felt back then – through music.<\/p>\n

I suppose the whole “soundtrack for your life” thing is not unique to me – I’m sure many other people have done exactly the same thing.<\/p>\n

So what’s the soundtrack to your<\/em> life?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
