I will then load them on to my iPhone and play them at random throughout the week, or in some cases, months.<\/p>\n<p>As I listen to the tracks I will give them a one to five star rating. Anything that gets one star I just delete because let\u2019s face it, who wants to hear that dreck. Any track I find mildly interesting gets a two star rating. Tracks that I think are solid get three star rating and the few tracks I think are top notch get a four to five star rating. Ninety percent of the time it\u2019s the tracks with a three to five star rating that make it on to the show.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes time to put together a mix for <b>solipsistic NATION<\/b> I usually review the tracks that I gave a high rating to and see if I can form some sort of theme or narrative out of them.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I will jot down notes on my iPhone which tracks I think would be great for a mix, which is how today\u2019s show came together.<\/p>\n<p>And what is the theme for today\u2019s show? Bass! All the track\u2019s you\u2019ll hear on today\u2019s show are guaranteed to make your sub woofer <i>throb<\/i>. In fact, you might want to crank your sub woofer up a notch or two for extra effect.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that\u2019s enough for today.
