The Mixtape Thread!

[the_pied_piper]

So, after a mixtape idea was floated and a positive response received here is the result.

Post your mixtapes people.

Create your own cover, don't create a cover, whatever you want.

I don't exactly know how people want to do this so heres some ideas.

Provisional Rules:
Post your mixtape in code (#) boxes as in mediaf!re thread.
Post only mediaf!re links.
Maybe keep to 1 song per artist, unlimited artists.
Show a playlist of what you have included in your mix.

Any extras, make a suggestion.

Otherwise, post away people!

NB Its not important if you think people won't appreciate your music taste, post it anyway. At least somebody might download it and actually appreciate it.


EDIT: I should say this idea originally came from E.Spaceman.

[Dimmukane]

I will get on this when I'm not at work.

[Sox]

Kill me.

[pulpfiction21]

Okay so i threw this together real quick. Not sure why i put the songs on there that I did, I just scrolled down my music folder and picked out songs I like alot. Think the songs will come in alphabetical order, so you can mix them up if you'd like.

If I were to make a mixtape, I'd have to fire up Virtual DJ and find all the good Hip-Hop.




I doubt anyone here really appreciates that.

[pulpfiction21]

I would totally appreciate that. I love Virtual Dj, its what I mix all my rap songs together on.

[valley_parade]

Hey E, would you mind if I uploaded the mixes you sent to me for Secret Santa? Those were seriously good.

(step one: ripping them without a functioning CD drive..)

Starts out with Reggae, but after that it's 80-90's Funk/Pop/Dance/Soul.

Give it a listen if you want. There's at least 3 songs by Buju Banton and 2 by Jamiroquai at the end.

[KharBevNor]

Aww nooo, not Buju Banton

[MrBlu]

That's right, chicken tits, Buju Banton. That weed smoking, crack pushing Rasta is gonna make sweet real love to your ears, and you're going to like it.

Why not maybe choose one of the many other superior reggae musicians who do not have songs advocating the murder of homosexuals?

[johnny5]

haha this thread is pretty lame so far, but i was wondering:

is there a site that does mixtapes but in the style of actual cassette tapes? like, any mixtape you uploaded could only be a certain length (i forgot the lenght of the tapes, i want to say 60 mins), and it'd be split into SIDE A and SIDE B, so you'd have to give extra consideration of what songs to fit onto one side and what to fit on the other? you could deliberately insert a song that cuts off side a and continues on side b. maybe they could use some flash graphics to illustrate someone putting the tape in the player, and you could watch the spindles move and watch as one of them becomes fat with magnetic tape while the other dies away

[KharBevNor]

I'm not even going to bother answering that.

Don't worry, it's cool that you hate gays!

I suppose I am being a little hypocritical, when you think about some of the things I listen to, though I also think Buju Banton is kinda rubbish. Needs more DUBBBBBBB.

I made this for an older friend who was big into alt-rock stuff in the 90s, but then had two kids since 1999... it came about b/c he heard me playing los campesinos covering his favorite pavement song and said "wow, i'm not at all ok with that... they're playing it soooo fast."  so this has lots of slightly sad stuff with good walking rhythms/tempos.

have you been able to make an account there?  I've been trying for the last hour, but it seems that upon registering a password is emailed to you, only I keep getting a specific error that seems to show a problem with the automatic mailer.  I tried to contact them about the error via their contact page, but trying to send that message yields the same error b/c it's using the same mailer.  And, of course, I can't seem to find a simple email address on the site or a webmaster's name or anything for me to contact (It says based on Andrew Dubber's idea, but it doesn't seem like he's got anything to do with the site).  I think this is a great idea for a site, and I really wanna try it out.

here's the error:

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'sites/all/modules/contrib/smtp/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/razor/mixtape/sites/all/modules/contrib/smtp/smtp.module
right there you can see "/class.phpmailer.php" and it looks like one php was added where it should replace the name of the other.  it looks like a simple fix if only they could be notified...

[DarkAvenger]

If I remember correctly I got the same error myself when trying to sign up, so I just bypassed it entirely by requesting a new password. Then when I got it I just logged right in.

[KurtMcAllister]

I made this about a year ago. A friend asked for a Mountain Goats mix, and that be a real mixtape. So after I picked what I thought were the best "ambassador songs," the best possible introduction to The Mountain Goats' discography, I had Side B to deal with. I didn't want to leave it blank, so I put this on it. I still haven't heard any response about said tape from my friend, so I thought I'd put it up so it didn't go to waste. (I took the cover photo myself. Said friend is somewhere in there.)

If you've ever wondered what the landscape of UK dance music looks like these days and wish someone would explain it for you, you're in luck tonight! This is something I made for a dear friend of mine very recently, but something I've had percolating in my mind for over a year. It's a mix / inventory of 17 different recognized (and in the case of the last few, nascent) substrains of UK Bass music. I don't claim to be an expert, just an enthusiast, so there's a little bit of conjecture and personal opinion that went into this.

Included in the .zip is a 9 page reference with a little context for each song / subgenre. I put a lot of work into this - 3,728 words, more than double the amount I usually put into my class essays.

This is a cinematic mix set for a story I wrote about zombies. I dislike the usual undead creatures that moan and shuffle across the silver screen, so this soundtrack reveals my zombie world. Try to make it yours through the music and lyrics as you imagine each player, as you imagine each scene.

The mix is split into two parts, two sides meant to be listened to consecutively in one session. Or take each side separately, if you like. Whether you choose listening cohesively, selectively or randomly, it's yours now. Enjoy.
