Keeping Drick updated on his mix!

I just burnt the blue disc off onto a CDRW for me to test drive. I REALLY like it. It took just short of 13 hours to choose all the tracks, but I think it payed off. Whether I invest that much time and effort in the orange disc remains to be seen.
If I keep going at the speed I was going today, I might have all the artwork done by october. That's good time!

Kai, sorry I haven't said anything, but I've been away since Friday. Anyway, the CD is yet to arrive, so it may have vanished. I'll resend you my mailing info, just to be sure that I didn't fuck it up or something the first time.

Kai · « **Reply #102 on:** 21 Sep 2006, 19:01 »

Okay. I will send it out again on saturday, since I am already out and about with a bunch of errands and shit anyways. errands that involve suits.

EDIT: Also, depending on whether I get it all done, I will send Storm's mix out on saturday too. but maybe not. we will see.

And the orange mix is now done. That's both disc, complete.
All I gotta do now is finish the artwork, throw it all together and mail it off. Drick, PM me your address if you haven't already.

Kai · « **Reply #108 on:** 22 Sep 2006, 18:03 »

tommy how is your mix going

vegkitkat · « **Reply #109 on:** 22 Sep 2006, 20:27 »

I've decided on a theme. Like Johnny, I'm going with a transitional mood. It should be very calming for whoever receives it. Hopefully, I'll have my track list finalized by the end of the weekend.

Johnny C · « **Reply #110 on:** 22 Sep 2006, 22:20 »

Except mine isn't calming. There is definitely some punk on there.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #112 on:** 24 Sep 2006, 15:33 »

Kai, you think you could maybe just zip up the mix and put it on yousendit, and then I could burn it myself? Because sending it to my work or home address would raise several awkward questions I would rather avoid.

And I'll get started on yours soon, I swear.

Kai · « **Reply #113 on:** 24 Sep 2006, 17:44 »

If that's what you'd rather me do I can do it

and sorry Joseph I didn't get a chance to do the errand with my suit OR send your CD, but tomorrow is a definite.

sAm_vdP · « **Reply #114 on:** 25 Sep 2006, 05:21 »

Hey, I just wanted to inform whoever gets paired with me, that I'll be on vacation for about a week. I'm still totally go though and I'll contact you as soon as I get back.

I would Love to do This! but i dont know where i can find blank CD's...

at.. office supply stores..?

It would raise questions. "why are you buying a cd?" "Who is this going to?" "Somebody knows your address?"

Questions require lies for answers in my world.

ielerol · « **Reply #118 on:** 25 Sep 2006, 15:12 »

I am reasonably sure I have finalized the tracklist for Amok's mix. Now I just need to figure out something to do for the album art. I am not what you might call visually-oriented.

Eels - Friendly Ghost
Bishop Allen - Ghosts are Good Company
The Gothic Archies - City of the Damned
Ted Leo / Pharmacists - I'm A Ghost
The White Stripes - Little Ghost
Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - (Ghost) Riders In The Sky
Squirrel Nut Zippers - Ghost of Stephen Foster
The Decemberists - Eli, The Barrow Boy
Devics - Ghost
Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad
Peter, Paul and Mary - Don't Go Down to the Quarry
Susan McKeown - Dark Horse On The Wind
Bjork - Ancestors
Neutral Milk Hotel - Ghost
Pretty Girls Make Graves - Ghost In The Radio
The Unicorns - Sea Ghost
Mick Jagger and The Chieftains - The Long Black Veil
Rufus Wainwright - In A Graveyard
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - The Lyre Of Orpheus
Neko Case - Ghost Wiring
Papa M - The Unquiet Grave

I took some thematic liberties in the name of awesome.

I am one song away from being done. Plus I know what the art looks like now!

oh, I was skeptical at first, too. I am pretty lukewarm about Me First and the Gimme Gimmes at the best of times, but basically the song is a lot of fun and I can't seem to dislike it.
I like a lot of crappy music, but my tolerance for snotty punk is much lower than, say, cheesy pop, so maybe it cancels out.

Just making one is hard when you are mr. lazybones... hey maybe that could be the theme!?

Spinless · « **Reply #125 on:** 26 Sep 2006, 09:44 »

Misereatur, I'm working on seven. Admittedly, a few of those are just for fun. But still...

Misereatur · « **Reply #126 on:** 26 Sep 2006, 10:09 »

The thing is I'm hella lazy, and making a theme about it would'nt be as fun. Mainly because it'll be just one song.

mberan42 · « **Reply #127 on:** 26 Sep 2006, 14:34 »

Crap hell ass balls, any way for me to get in on this? I'm wicked late, yeah I know. I rarely visit the music talk forum.

So, it'd be awesomely cool if I could get in on this. If not, I can wait.

Count_Zero · « **Reply #128 on:** 27 Sep 2006, 01:03 »

Well, short of a pairing I'm starting to bash out mine at the moment. I re-iterate that it might not be as hardcore obscure as others, but I promise it'll be -good-!

Dudes, I seriously need the list now. I like to add a personal touch to my mix and I cannot do that unless I now who I'm touching (emotionally, not physically...or both, depending on the match up). You're making this ever so difficult.

actually, i'm not sure of the little guy's name. it's from sinfest. and he thinks the devil is super awesome, hence the horns. but i never found out his name...

yeah. list. it would be very much appreciated.

Johnny C · « **Reply #142 on:** 07 Oct 2006, 20:26 »

jcknbl is the one who is doing the list, actually. We are waiting on him.

GamerMunkie · « **Reply #143 on:** 07 Oct 2006, 20:39 »

Right...Well...Having grown tired of waiting I throw this proposal at you all :

Who wants my SprungMix? It's 2 CD's and the track listing is completely different to the one I posted earlier.

The first CD is called "The House One" and tells the story of a kid who has just arrived at Uni (or College as you in the U.S. call it) who has been cloistered all of his/her life and discovers things such as alchohol and sex, however they have no moderation and things quickly become hollow and empty for them.

The second CD is called "The Chill One" and, whilst has no specific story of its own, exists to take the user on a journy throughout their mind, into space, across the globe, and everywhere else...

So yes...If ya wanna know the track listing just ask me. I can't send you anything from Australia because I'm too poor to afford that kinda thing but I'll get some timtams and eat them for you...

I'll possibly have to post it up somewhere for you to download, and then you have to burn it before you listen to it...BEFORE is VERY important...Also...It's very VERY important to burn it disk at once so that there is no gap in between songs

Thrillho · « **Reply #144 on:** 08 Oct 2006, 04:31 »

I'm going to put you all to shame.

My mix is going to have seven - count 'em - seven discs.

Thrillho · « **Reply #146 on:** 08 Oct 2006, 08:57 »

All of them? Are you serious? JWH is wank. I haven't even heard all of Nashville Skyline, but 'Lay Lady Lay' is hardly promising.

Nah, it's a disc for each day of the week, assuming a particular event takes place on each of those days. It's ridiculously lame, but it makes me spunk.

Quote from: tommydski on 08 Oct 2006, 10:30

'john wesley harding' is one of his best albums. it just has the unfortunate task of following three of the greatest albums of all time.
listen to it again sometime and tell me which song is bad. 'as i went out one morning'? 'all along the watchtower'? 'down along the cove'? i think not.

'The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest.'

Quote

i'll agree that 'nashville skyline' isn't fantastic and let's just pretend 'self portrait' never happened for the good of us all.
however, the seven albums i was referring to were -

1963 - The Freewheelin'
1964 - Another Side Of
1964 - The Times They Are A Changin'
1965 - Bringing It All Back Home
1965 - Highway '61 Revisited
1966 - Blonde on Blonde
1967 - John Wesley Harding

if you want to argue that there is a bad track on these albums then i haven't found it in twenty two years of looking.

Outside of that, I appreciate that Blonde On Blonde is a masterpiece but it's not exactly my favourite. I tend to cut it down to a single vinyl disc.

Thrillho · « **Reply #149 on:** 08 Oct 2006, 12:15 »

I know what you mean about the early two. I think that by Blonde he's bored with his new direction, sick of the bitching for going electric. I think the two predecessors are magnificent. In particular, I think that Bringing It All Back Home is probably his best album, even if it's missing his greatest song ('Rolling Stone'; what else?) because it shows both sides of him, the electric surrealist and the political acoustic songwriter. It's just brilliant, his finest fifty minutes.
