QC Forums Mix-Tape Exchange 2: Response Thread.

Yeah, Inlander suggested that one, and I used it instead of the other Darren Hanlon song I had in the mix. It wasn't like I saw that I got you, rubbed my hands together, and said, "Muhuhahaha, now I have you! Onward my pretty, pretty ponies!" Yes, I realized that some of the tracks were a little out of your league, but this is supposed to be fun! I figured that if there was something ridiculously silly on there, you'd just laugh.
To everyone: Please! If you don't like something in the mix you get, don't act like the other person is assaulting you! Nobody thinks you're cool because you spend a lot of time making fun of the music that someone else took the time and money to send to you. Try and see the good in it.

Well I, for one, am looking really forward to getting a lot of aussie music thrown in my face. Australia for me is Nick Cave and shitty pop singers, but if you disappoint me, McTaggart, I will personally come down under and kick your dingo-bitten ass!
I kid, I kid mate :)

I think this just highlights the incredible differences that lie at the deeps of peoples tastes. I mean, reading my liner notes for my tracks tells you what I think of them, whilst of course to you it is inconcievable that anyone could really dislike your favourite bands. It's a big gap to leap. I mean, dan criticised some of my tracks for sounding like they were from lotr (Because Enya was on the lotr sound-track, I dunno), but I love bands like Isengard, Lothlorien, Gandalf and Nazgul, not to mention tracks like Aurora Borealis - The War of the Ring and Cruachan - The Fall of Gondolin. Hell, I got into metal because it was music about Lord of the Rings. My musical destiny was set when I first heard Led Zeppelin's 'The Battle of Evermore'. I don't get how that could be in any way bad, it's just incommunicable to me. In the same way, I can easily see how music so 'happy', to you anyway, could not really be seen to be bad.

See, this is what I'm sort of afraid of too. I made a good mix for StarlightRecycler, and I don't think it will disagree with her tastes, but just because it's got so much of me right now in it, it's fairly cheery in spots and very summery in other spots. And I'm sending it to winter in New Zealand. But I think that's part of the fun/risk.

That gives me an awesome idea. Lucky post offices are closed after 12:30 on saturdays or I would have sent it already and wouldn't have a chance to do this to you.
