Yeah, probably time to post this sucker. I've been meaning to tinker with it for a couple of months now, but I can't really ~~find any fault~~decide what to change. So here it is. Enjoy.

Can there be a promise made by the person who wins the american apparel prize that they will not purchase anything made of gold (or any colour, in fact) lamé, or those creepy, creepy body suits?

wesleyv · « **Reply #153 on:** 19 Jul 2008, 10:12 »

I think the promise should be that if someone wins they have to get the creepy gold body suit and post pics of themselves wearing it.

Tommy, we await your feedback!

I'm not listening to them until the contest is over, on August 1st.

Thrillho · « **Reply #156 on:** 20 Jul 2008, 11:28 »

One of you other motherfuckers listen to mine in the meantime. I did some appalling cross-mixing and I want to know what people think of it haha.

Lines · « **Reply #157 on:** 20 Jul 2008, 18:26 »

For some reason, I thought it ended this month. Oops!

And I will listen to your mix. I am currently downloading it.

Ok, I finally got around to picking songs and stuff. I was at what was essentially an epic barbecue/friend's 21st birthday earlier this summer, and I tried to pick songs that kind of fit the occasion. The first one is during the cookout/copious drinking, the second is after most of the people left and we were sitting on a chair swing with a joint, and the third is the next day, when everyone was recovering.

Just a heads-up, the last track in the second one did not have a song title. Ever. The band just named it the number it was on the LP.

"Summer", to me, hints at playing, loving and losing, and just plain lazing about.

This is the kind of sentiment I had in mind once I had a large selection of potential tracks and was looking to find some common factor by which to narrow it down. What I wound up with was my attempt at creating a conceptual album! It is based loosely on my experience of switching cities in the middle of one summer, and composed entirely of tracks that aren't mine! Isn't that crazy?

imagist42's The Hot Months: A Summer Mix

The Hot Months is (roughly) the tale of a wistful young man who has spent his life trying to find a life. He has reached a point in his life where, after trying everything he can from college to BASE jumping to discover some purpose beyond hanging out and having fun, he has settled into his quaint, old, and most importantly hot hometown for one last summer. After an initial bout of boredom, he discovers a nightlife hidden in the summer heat that he never knew--and along with it, an old flame. He and she do the whole courtship "thing" for a bit, but he ultimately finds that she wants a life vastly different from this comfortable, familiar one he has developed. She leaves, and the resulting fallout nearly destroys him and everything he has built up around him, until she returns for one last visit to help him come to terms with the fact that their fling wasn't exactly a stable relationship to begin with. In the process he realizes that he cannot stick around in the same old place forever, and as their last act together they head out of town in opposite directions, leaving nothing but shadows behind.

Holy crap is it a pretty awful concept and so many times during almost every song the lyrics don't fit at all but it sure was fun to put together.

imagist42 · « **Reply #160 on:** 28 Jul 2008, 07:52 »

Sorry for the double post, but for anyone who's already downloaded my mix, I had to put up an updated version because the track numbering was a little wonky in iTunes (some tracks having "disc n of n" info in the tags put some tracks in a separate order before the real first track), and the album artwork didn't seem to import properly because WMP and iTunes don't like to play nice on that front. Should all be fixed, but just to be clear, "Army" should be the first track, and you should be looking at the above picture of a tree in a dead field (although that's not exactly a vital point to the mix).

Here's the new link (updated in the above post too):

I guess m4a is also applicable then.

Obviously, I can play either but I didn't want to penalise other people who might want to listen to these mixes but don't have iTunes.

WinAmp plays .m4as...

I wonder if I can sneak in mine in... 1 hour...

I'm assuming Tommy is taking an appropriate amount of time to give every mix a proper listen before laying down His Infinitely Wise Judgment, yes?

~~tommydski~~ · « **Reply #168 on:** 08 Aug 2008, 18:01 »

Yeah man, it's going to take a while. I had like twenty entries in the end.

michaelicious · « **Reply #169 on:** 18 Aug 2008, 17:13 »

How is the listening going?

~~tommydski~~ · « **Reply #170 on:** 18 Aug 2008, 17:17 »

Pretty good.

I'm actually going write a written response to most if not all. Alas I have work and I'm still refurbishing my house so it's gonna take a while!

imagist42 · « **Reply #171 on:** 18 Aug 2008, 22:02 »

Yeah, don't worry too much about it, we all understand. I was planning on listening to everyone's mixes myself, but... well, I've listened to mine so far!

pwhodges · « **Reply #172 on:** 19 Aug 2008, 00:17 »

I've also listened to them all (though I think Tommy's got more than us as some were sent privately). I have a couple of clear favourites, but enjoyed something in nearly all of them, and found something to interest me (not the same) in every one.

Thrillho · « **Reply #173 on:** 19 Aug 2008, 03:41 »

People need to start listing specifics here. I did some really shitty mixing and interludes (and even shittier titles for those interludes) and I want to know what people thought of 'em!

pwhodges · « **Reply #174 on:** 19 Aug 2008, 03:55 »

I'm deliberately not going to say anything specific until Tommy's done.

Lines · « **Reply #175 on:** 19 Aug 2008, 06:26 »

I have listened to three others I think. Maybe four. I picked them at random and oddly enough they share a few artists and generally sound similar, but they were all fun.

wesleyv · « **Reply #176 on:** 19 Aug 2008, 10:04 »

too bad the weather is pretty crappy. we need to start making winter mixes already

exomni · « **Reply #177 on:** 19 Aug 2008, 13:44 »

Summer is meh for music. It's all about fall mixes. AKA "what order should I put all these Nick Drake songs in". But seriously, everything sounds better in autumn.

Lines · « **Reply #178 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 16:31 »

I made an autumn mix, and though I like it a lot, summer is lots of fun for music. You can put all the happy, fun, and even silly songs onto a mix and call it summery.

WANT FEEDBACK.

~~tommydski~~ · « **Reply #181 on:** 15 Sep 2008, 11:16 »

Number of mixes listened to as of today: None.

I need to quit my job or something.

pwhodges · « **Reply #182 on:** 15 Sep 2008, 11:55 »

Burn CD-RW; listen in car on way to and from work; repeat; sorted (eventually).

imagist42 · « **Reply #183 on:** 15 Sep 2008, 12:34 »

Yeah I thought you drove like 10000 miles a day?

re-upped mine just in case

~~tommydski~~ · « **Reply #185 on:** 19 Sep 2008, 16:02 »

I have them all on my HDD. I started listening to some of them.

So far: Impressed.

How many are there?

Jeeze Tommy. September is almost over and still no results or feedback. For shame.

(Mostly, I am looking forward to feedback.)

imagist42 · « **Reply #188 on:** 21 Sep 2008, 15:40 »

Yeah, I don't even care about the prize so much (mostly because I won't win it), I just want to know how my concept went over.

pwhodges · « **Reply #189 on:** 21 Sep 2008, 15:59 »

Give the guy a break... He said only a couple of days ago that he'd started listening to them; work out how long it takes to listen to 22 mixes (plus any he was sent privately) even just once each while living a life (dogs are good - I've listened to them all while walking the dogs

).

imagist42 · « **Reply #190 on:** 21 Sep 2008, 16:27 »

Hey, I wasn't chastising the dude. I can rarely be bothered to listen to bands I haven't heard simply because I don't have that much music time and the time I do have I like to spend with things I already know are good.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #191 on:** 06 Nov 2008, 20:13 »

Too late! But now that I remember I am curious who won and also about that fabled feedback.

pwhodges · « **Reply #194 on:** 29 May 2018, 02:15 »

Ten years ago the musically-minded members of this forum (who have mainly moved on) made "mixtape" compilations of their idea of summer music which they shared; hence this thread.

I was reminded of this because I just stumbled on a directory in which I seem to have preserved 22 of them! Only three of the compilers are still active on the forum - me, and two others whom I won't identify because they have changed their user names (and one of those recently became mostly dormant).

My mix was naturally atypical in including largely classical music and recordings from as long ago as 1904! Here it is.

Thrillho · « **Reply #195 on:** 29 May 2018, 02:54 »

I'm guessing the one other active one is me?

edit: I did actually submit one! And apparently one edited into one long megamix, which I was doing a lot of at the time. I would really appreciate hearing my own mix, actually.

This post is a bit of a spectre, isn't it, hodgy? Reading Tommy's posts at all is incredibly strange for reasons not worth going into here, but just reading the overall tone of the forum at the time (holy fuck that 'schizos' post) and knowing this thread is actually immensely laid back by comparison to the general tone, especially for the music forum?

It would also seem nobody ever won this contest.

pwhodges · « **Reply #196 on:** 29 May 2018, 03:15 »

I guess I should have warned people about how different things once were!

(I'm sending you a link by PM.)

Akima · « **Reply #197 on:** 30 May 2018, 02:15 »

Wow! I hope there's no curse on this tomb you've opened, Mr. Hodges.

This contest rather died with a whimper, not a bang, didn't it?

pwhodges · « **Reply #198 on:** 30 May 2018, 16:24 »

You'll note that the originator has since been banned (for other reasons); I and the admin of another forum pooled information from various sources which led to coordinated banning. The curse is no longer active.
