So lately I've been indulging myself in a new project - Mood Mixes.  That is, mixed CDs that adhere to a certain genre or mood with each song.  The idea being that the CD is fitting to play when you're either in a certain mood, or when you *want* to be in a certain mood (a useful trick if you're writing something, for example).

Anyway, I'm fairly satisfied with what I've got for a couple of mood mixes.  I may produce various volumes of each mood - for example, Angsty I through IV, or Amused I, II and III.
Most of what I've got is (gasp!) mainstream music, and not what you might consider Indie.  But since this is a mood mix, that's irrelevant here - I only use music that applies to the genre of the mix in question.  Indie-Ness has nothing to do with it.

It got me curious to see what others would do in this situation.  So here's the challenge - design a Mood Mix with your own songs to see what people think of it.  Use 20 or so songs, the amount that fit on a standard CD.

I'll start it off by posting my two completed mood mixes first up - I'm still working on Pumped, Angry and Cheerful.  But here are the first two...

I like this and will now compile playlists to join in this effort, though i will only make them about as long as a normal cd (track numbers are irrelevant!) so 45-60 minutes long will do:

It's 4am, and I still think about you - mood: exhausted
the album leaf - we once were (one)
mus-ok - get out your lighter
boards of canada - turqoise hexagon sun
mum - weeping rock, rock
disparition - a commodius vicus of recirculation
dj shadow - midnight in a perfect world
90 day men - too late or too dead
buck 65 - fifty gallon drum
denali - french mistake
cocorosie - by your side


i will add more moods later!

[ImRonBurgundy?]

i made a "pumped" playlist that consists entirely of Public Enemy and Minor Threat.

[The Hammered]

I'm not going to compile a complete track list for any particular mood, but I'll just put forth a few ideas for several. I'll also be drawing from a rather small number of bands.

Angry:
Swans - Time is Money (Bastard)

Creepy (yeah, I know, that's not a mood. I don't care.):
Sonic Youth - Ghost Bitch (Protect Me You and Lee is Free also come to mind)

Amused:
Ciccone Youth - Master-Dik, the Tuff Titty Rap
Pixies - I've Been Tired
Television - Little Johnny Jewel

Angsty:

The Velvet Underground - After Hours
Lou Reed - Berlin, Perfect Day
Pixies - Where is My Mind?

Exhausted:
The Stooges - Dirt
Mudhoney - When Tomorrow Hits

Pumped:
Ramones - A whole bunch of songs (Blitzkrieg Bop; I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You/Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World; Oh Oh I Love Her So; Pinhead; California Sun; Rockaway Beach; She's the One...)
Pixies - Debaser, Cecilia Ann, Rock Music

Romantic/lovesick/whatever you want to call it:
Ramones - I Wanna be Your Boyfriend, Oh Oh I Love Her So, She's the One
The Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes
Pixies - Letter to Memphis

12 songs for when you're pissed at the government
...
4. Weezer - Beverly Hills

Huh? What does this have to do with being pissed at the government? Unless the government is somehow to blame for the last Weezer album...

[Patrick]

The government is to blame for all of your problems. Christ, didn't you learn anything during adolescence?

[KharBevNor]

The only other filter I know of changes ov to of. This was becuase of an annoying rivethead type who always typed of as ov and got on someones nerve. It annoys me as many Behemoth tracks have ov in the title.

The way to say it, btw, as is the way to say nigger, is just to drop a colour=white tag on one of the letters. Not that you'd want to, apart from in song titles.

I have some of these, but I will post them later.

[Thrillho]

4. Weezer - Beverly Hills

Huh? What does this have to do with being pissed at the government? Unless the government is somehow to blame for the last Weezer album...

To be fair, it was just a 'politics' playlist, since Beverly Hills targets the American Dream.

The way to say it, btw, as is the way to say nigger, is just to drop a colour=white tag on one of the letters. Not that you'd want to, apart from in song titles.

I am perfectly aware of how to get around a filter. I just wasn't aware that one existed on here.

[Omnicide]

you could fill any mood mix using only Miles Davis tracks. whataguy.

[Patrick]

Same deal with Queen, Omnicide.

[jcknbl]

To be fair, it was just a 'politics' playlist, since Beverly Hills targets the American Dream.

Apparently it isn't actually ironic, sarcastic or political. Atleast according to Rivers Cuomo http://www.weezer.com/discography/makebelieve.asp

[Thrillho]

Hmmm.

Damn you Rivers Cuomo, you have rendered my playlist into a circus of lies!

[KharBevNor]

I am perfectly aware of how to get around a filter. I just wasn't aware that one existed on here.

Good for you ducky. Interestingly though, I wasn't talking to you.

Good for you ducky. Interestingly though, I wasn't talking to you.

\/\/ /\/\

[Storm Rider]

Wait, Belle and Sebastian is on a rockin' list?

Should I go outside and make sure the sky hasn't turned orange?

[Thrillho]

If anything, most of Rubby's lists make even less sense than mine.

[Rubby]

I dunno, it made sense at the time.

[ImRonBurgundy?]

Apparently it isn't actually ironic, sarcastic or political. Atleast according to Rivers Cuomo http://www.weezer.com/discography/makebelieve.asp

haha, he just forfeited his chance to make that song seem like it had any redeeming value.  also from that interview:

Pat: It sounds like it could have been on the Green Album. I think of it as, like, classic Weezer.

this band has truly gone off the deep end.

[Thrillho]

I dunno, it made sense at the time.

Here Comes Your Man? Rocky???

Where Is My Mind? is rockier fer Chrissakes.

[Tergon]

As a general rule, I don't download music off the internet.  Not because I'm pretentious or convinced it's evil, I just sorta can't.  I lack an ipod, memory stick, or any other method to download music files off the University's server, and my parents don't get broadband internet for another month (living in rural Australia SUCKS).  So at present, downloading of music is for no.
Instead all the songs I use are off CDs that I already own.  My collection ain't big, only around 60 or so CDs, but many of 'em are compilations or "Best Of" albums, so there's a pretty good mix in there.
I need to get my brother's copy of the Ramones, Velvet Underground and the Dandy Warhols.  That'll help with the mixes a lot.  They have a lot of good songs to choose from that can fit into an Angsty / Angry mix.

Also I'm thinking of whipping up a classical music mix from the Beethoven/Mozart/Bach collection my parents own.  That'd be pretty nice...

[Tergon]

Oh please God don't cherry pick movements from larger pieces.

If I did that, it would be legal to confiscate all my musics and internets.  And to shoot me in the head.
Have a little faith here!  I'd pick 'em out of respect, not idiocy.  I know better than to cherrypick from a freaking concert piece.

Also, Khar and Burgundy win this thread with Misanthropy and Covers respectively.  Cover Songs ain't a mood mix, but that mix is good enough to let it slide.

Metallica is not too bad compared to covers like Limp Bizkit's Behind Blue Eyes or Disturbed's Shout 2000.

Oh there are far worse covers than 'tallica's cover of Cave, but Loverman is my favourite Cave song, and they made it shite.
