I know someone who is giving birth in a few days. Instead of traditional baby shower gifts, she requested music to give birth to. The email said something about "non-frenetic" and the words "jazz" and "trip-hop" were in there somewhere.
I dunno, I think jazz and trip hop can be pretty frenetic, so I asked in person. I got pretty much the same answer.
So I fretted over the mix last night and came up with something. I just hope it's not too fast, too slow, too frenetic, and that she likes the music. It's a lot of pressure, I don't want her to have to say "Oh god, turn that off or the baby's going to come out wrong".
