I tried to balance it between songs that I really like and that hopefully people haven't heard before. Sound quality wasn't a major concern since most of the stuff I listen to isn't really demo-worthy, though I hope I avoided any real suckiness. I did weigh in the popularity of the artists a little bit, but not a lot as even big names are going to be new to a lot of people. I know in my case I have zero exposure to most famous bands.

I look forward to your CD.
