Fun Stuff > BAND

QC Forums Mix-Tape Exchange 2: Response Thread.

KharBevNor:
You should be making these tapes with the expectation that they will be found to be totally awesome. I know I did -_- That's why it has some of my favourite tracks ever on it.

Willis:
Oh I'm not saying I don't love the tracks on there.  It's that there is this perception that you are very picky when it comes to your musical taste.  I remember someone remarking that 99% of the stuff out there, you won't like.  And actually after that, I felt at more at ease in making the mix.  I figure if there is little chance you will like it, then I'll have fun with it, and that's what I did.  Another thing, I don't want these comments to influence how you do feel about the tracks.  If you like them, great.  If not, well I tried to open you up to some new things.  Anyway, I'll be looking foward to your comments next week.

KharBevNor:
Opening me up to new stuff is all well and good! But I mean, the last person to make me a CD deliberately put lots of twee pop stuff on because she knew I would not like it. I do listen to a good whack of music, it just tends to be almost universally different to the music people here listen to...bands I like include the Afrocelt Sound System, The Reverend Horton Heat, Wolfsheim and Blackflag ffs.

No, I put it on there because I like it.  It makes up a large portion of the music I own.  

The CD I made for you was full of really good indie music.  Some of it was twee, some of it was not.  It wasn't like I chose you in the drawing.  I just made a CD full of stuff that I really liked and felt like sharing at the time.  I figured that no one's tastes are one-dimensional, and maybe you could find something to enjoy in music that's the polar opposite of what you listen to.  I was wrong, apparently.  I know some of it was pretty fruity, and I considered taking it off before I sent it, but I decided to leave it on just to see what would happen.  But please, stop acting like you suffered under a such a great burden by listening to the Smittens for two minutes.

PS: I'm a dude, dude!

KharBevNor:
When did I?

The only burden I have suffered so far is spending about £8 on padded envelopes, CD's, cases, floppies, paper and postage and goodness knows how much time, not to really get anything out of it, apart from Brittany liking a few bands on my last CD, which was cool. Hopefully Willis will have some nice stuff on this one and it'll be worth it.

Also, I distinctly remember, and could dig up, you discussing with someone how you should definitely put on that song...Brooklyn Bridge I think? Because of me. So don't say there wasn't some thought when it came to who you were sending to.
