You can't ask, man. You just have to know.
I'm sorry I ever doubted your abilities, Emilio.
-
Now that this thread is here, I've been commissioned to make a "love" themed mix in the next few weeks. I'm taking suggestions for songs. I've got maybe a disc's worth of material, I need 2. As you might guess, the songs must have something to do with love. It's what I've been tasked with. Anything's good.
-
Kid van Pervert, if this love mix does not conclude with "Sex Bomb" by Flipper you have failed.
Edit: Also, put "Teenage Kicks" by the Undertones!
-
I will commence the tracking down.
When I finish a mix, I usually post it in the Mediafire thread.
Other people should do the same!
Oh, I thought that was bad form :(
-
I thought I remembered somebody disparaging mix posting in the mediafire thread, but that may have been my imagination.
I was wondering if this forum had a mix exchange type of deal, but with the mediafire thread (and the international membership) it seems a little quaint to rely on postage.
-
It's surprising that you'd have to make that rule. Making the mix is the fun part, after all. In the exchange I'm in, the main problem is that people don't get off their asses and post when they do have their mixes.
-
Look, I'm having a dry spell, okay? And have been ever since I smashed that powerbook, losing three playlist I had been working on for more than 6 months, trying to make them perfect.
-
As soon as I get a chance, I'll upload the mix I made about crushes. I think I shared it with gabbly, but not with the forums yet.
-
Okay, here's my mix about crushes and crush related things.
1. "Thirteen" - Big Star
2. "Sally Simpson" - The Who
3. "Johnathan David" - Belle and Sebastian
4. "Debra" - Beck
5. "Digital Love" - Daft Punk
6. "Skullcrusher Mountain" - Jonathan Coulton
7. "P.Y.T." - Michael Jackson
8. "Short Skirt, Long Jacket" - Cake
9. "Uptown Girl" - Billy Joel
10. "Your Magic is Working" - Of Montreal
11. "If You Should Try to Kiss Her" - Dressy Bessy
12. "Clementine" - The Decemberists
13. "Thirteen" - Elliott Smith
Made on Mixmeister.

Needs more "The Saturday Boy" by Billy Bragg. If for nothing else, then because in between all the lovelorn unrequited crush stuff, it has one of the best lyrics ever written: "I never made the first team, I just made the first team laugh."
-
I just put together a mix for a friend of mine who was going on a road trip. There is no theme to it, its just songs that I like and I thought he might like and probably didn't already own or listen to.
Happy Yellow Bumblebee - of Montreal
Skin Is, My - Andrew Bird
To Be Surprised - Sondre Lerche
Evening On The Ground (Lilith's Song) - Iron & Wine
Just Drums - Tapes n Tapes
Take On Me - Cap'n Jazz
Fifth Grade Tender - Sky Corvair
Sons of Cain - Ted Leo & The Pharmacists

Where Have All The Rude Boys Gone? - Ted Leo & The Pharmacists
Don't Fear the Reaper (Live) - Elliott Smith
Girls & Boys - Blur
Pirate Infested Waters - Bob Nanna
Flim - Aphex Twin
Born Slippy (Nuxx) - Underworld
Its the third mix I have made for this person in the last few months, and its my favorite so far.

This is a bit disappointing. It should've been compiled entirely of songs that you can visualize blasting from your car stereo while driving down an interstate with the top down.
Like We Built This City (On Rock and Roll)
-
Well it wasn't crafted solely for his trip. I was working on it and he went on this trip kind of spur of the moment so I quickly finished it and gave it to him so he'd have some sweet tunes to listen to on the way.
-
None the less, they are some really good songs Katherine.

I was shooting for a mix of both old & new, pop & less so.

20. Come on in Out of the Rain - 12 Rounds
21. Ending Credits - Opeth (because I'm a cheeky monkey)
Bonus track!: Ziggy Stardust - Bauhaus
Some of the song choices were kinda obvious (esp. the Siouxsie track) but whatever, at least it flowed alright.
-

14. No Size That Small - Samiam
I know I repeated two bands, but I really like the flow.
-
We always seem to have a problem with Part 1 & Part 2 of the two stage process.
Maybe we could just keep this thread around and set up individual trades instead of anything on a bigger scale? Anyone wants to get involved and doesn't mind posting to the UK, I'm always up for it.
-
02. Custard - Girls Like That (Don't Go For Guys like us)
I realy want to upload this album to the mediafire thread, but the only copy I have is in 64kbps .wma. Part of me says that this won't go down too well, but the other part of me says that this isn't oink. Should I do it anyway?

I uploaded some Indian Summer stuff which was in kind of a mess because that was the best I could do, so I prefaced the link by explaining exactly what you'd be getting if you downloaded it. Do that and if anyone complains then they're whining about free music which is pretty weak.
-
Okay kids, mix tyme! This is my thirteenth mix for an exchange on another site.
KvP Lurv disc (http://www.sendspace.com/file/0coxkn)
KvP Sexx disc (http://www.sendspace.com/file/21464c)
Wanted to put Sex Bomb on there, but there was not enough room.
-
I'm more concerned that he spelled "you" wrong.
Lurk moar.
-
So it's time to make a new mix. This time I get to choose the theme.
So throw some themes at me. I'm leaning towards revising my piano / string mixes, as they were my strongest. But I'm open to suggestions.
-
Well, I am working on a mix with the theme of "Drinking Songs". Knowing me, of course, it consists of mostly Celtic, with some folk and country drinking songs thrown in for good measure.
I am also up for a physical mix exchange.
-
I've had people send me mixes with irish drinking songs on them (Whiskey You're the Devil, etc.) but I don't have any of my own, so I'd just be regurgitating somebody else's mix.
I'd be up for a physical exchange as well. I nominate Tommy would like to orchestrate it, if he feels it's worth it.
-
I'm more concerned that he spelled "you" wrong.
Lurk moar.
Dear Mr. BevNor
Good sir, I do believe that you have made a typographical error in the spelling of the second word in your statement, rendering it not only entirely unreadable, but simply shocking to my sensibilities as a native English speaker. If you could please remedy this situation promptly and then contact me by post when you have posted your correction, I would appreciate it greatly.
Signed,
IronOxide

I'm currently working on my 'ironic songs to play at my funeral' playlist.
It opens with 'Alive And Well' by Rise Against.
-
And then what?
-
"Rise Up With Fists!!" - Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins
-
And then what?
I'm still working on it, dude. 'Bullet In The Head' by RATM will be in there somewhere.

It is basically the Ultimate Mix. I can't really imagine any situation where it wouldn't be suitable!
-
Squawk, I like the cut of your jib.
-
Tommy just came.
Emilio followed.
-
Okay, the time is finally upon me. I need two mix CD themes. One was suggested by... Jimmy, I think, which was something along the lines of "embarrassing music to dance to". I think I can do that. The thing is that maybe 60% of my collected music was recently destroyed in a very necessary HD reformat. So I've got less than I usually would. Ensuring diversity may be a problem.
If I can't do well enough with what I've got I'll probably make updated, superior versions of previous mixes I've made, which sort of sucks, but they're the only mixes I've made that I really feel are good.
Suggestions?
-
1. "Ceremony" - New Order
2. "Ceremony" - Joy Division
3. "Ceremony (second pressing)" New Order
4. "Ceremony" - Joy Division
5. "Ceremony" - New Order
6. "Ceremony" - Joy Division
7. "Ceremony (second pressing)" - New Order
8. "Ceremony" - Joy Division
9. "Ceremony" - New Order
10. "Ceremony" - Joy Division
11."Ceremony (second pressing)" New Order
I think it's pretty good.
-
You are missing the fantastic covers by Galaxie 500 and Xiu Xiu.
-
Probably. I haven't actually heard them, but I guess I'll go do that now.
That said if I had included them I probably would have ended up making the mix 2 hours long or something.
-
After listening to Ceremony in it's different incarnations for the last hour, I can only say this: damn fine mix, dear sir.
-
So it's time to make a new mix. This time I get to choose the theme.
So throw some themes at me. I'm leaning towards revising my piano / string mixes, as they were my strongest. But I'm open to suggestions.
"Songs to Kill People to"
Using anything from the Matrix or Kill Bill soundtracks is cheating.
Go have fun.
EDIT: @OP: Did you make this mix for your girlfriend before or after she narrowly avoided the London bombing?
