Mixer's Notes: This draft was awesome, and I had so much fun mixing for this story. I hope my author enjoys it!
Author's Notes: Oh my god this mix. This mix. I have to admit I was a little star struck when I saw who picked my fic for mixing (not like her masterlist is burned into my brain or anything) so I had that moment "oh my god now she's gonna read my draft \o/" followed by "oh my god now she's gonna read my draft /o\ PANIC"
Anyway, back to the mix. This mix is excellent! It's just so Frank. I can imagine him having every single one of these songs in his music collection, they just feel right. The way they tap into the plot and emotion of the story is just magical, from Whatever Happened To My Rock N Roll which just sums up Frank at the start of the fic through to Teenage Victory Song which is just the Frank and Mikey high school anthem. The romantic storyline is absolutely represented with songs like Hopeless Romantic and You're Pretty Good Lookin and I love, love, love Tart - it's so perfect for the emotions in that part of the fic.
Lastly but definitely not leastly, the MXPX cover of I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) is THE MOST PERFECT SONG EVER for the end of the fic. I have NO WORDS to describe how wonderful it is and how much air punching was involved when I first heard. Dear fictionalaspect you are a GENIUS and I love this mix an awful LOT. ♥
