March

March was, I think, our first official mix off. It was the Say My Name miss - theme chosen by Reem, but title from the ever witty Casey. I'll embed Casey's first and then mines...and you decide who made you say their name!

Casey mixin' it proper-style!


Who's that girl?? Reem's that girl!

February

Please pardon our mess as we try to get our mixes all up on imeem so we can share them with you here.

Casey aptly chose Valetine's Jams for February. Her playlist is titled the Satin Sheets Mix, LOL. Mine was Smoove Jams 4 Long Nights. Mine's up on imeem, so I'll embed it here and we'll post Casey's as soon as we can.





(Note: that's not the version of the Donna Summers' song I wanted, but I am not hardcore like Case, and will take what's already there.)

Upcoming Misses

Hello, all!

LOL. I say "all" as if anyone other than the two contributors reads this. Soon, we'll be embedding our imeem playlists to feature our hit mixes. For now, we'd like to share our tentative themes for the next few months. We're alternating who gets to choose themes. Casey has April and June and I've taken May and July.

April Showers - for all those rainy days. Songs about water in its various forms.
May I Touch You There? - Songs featuring body parts both in title and content.
June Summer* - The classic summer song playlist.
July the 4th Patriots - Songs that make you feel warm and fuzzy about our country.

We look forward to impressing you ;-)

Ciao,
r.

Welcome to the DreamCase Mixes Blog...

First, let me introduce myself.  My name is Reem.  Soon, you'll meet my friend Casey.  We're both twenty-somethings that are far too witty and silly for our own good.  Sadly, we don't live in the same state...but that also explains why we mail each other CDs.

Sometime last year, Casey asked me to make her a "Mellow Miss CD."  [Note: Casey and I often change spellings of words to reflect how we actually pronounce them.  Thus, miss is really mix.]  After the mellow miss compilation, we traded workout playlists so we could encourage each other to go to the gym AND get our beat on while doing so.  This finally lead to our "mix offs," a brainchild of Casey's.

Three months in to the game, I realized we should host our playlists on imeem.com, which is a cheaper way for us to share our playlists with each other.  Then, I thought - hell, why not blog about it?  Everyone else blogs, why not us?  So, now we're on imeem, where essentially no one but the two of us will see our playlist mix off, and we're also gonna post a blog that lists our monthy theme and our respective playlists.  People can vote whose playlist is better through the comments.

I bet Trina is the only person who'll ever check this...but that's okay.
