I was just talking to somebody else about this the other day. Would anybody be interested in having another one of these? It's been a while and I figure this time we could just upload our mix instead of mailing them so there would not be any issues with shipping costs or something getting lost in the mail. So, anybody in? And if you have other ideas about it, feel free to list them here.

UPDATE!

I have started to forward links to recipients. Here is a list of all of those participating in the mix exchange. Those who have been forwarded a link to their completed mix will have their names crossed out. So, to make things clear, this is not a list of who has sent but who has received their mix. I will update this post as needed.

I'm in if its online only.

i'm so 2001

if it was a cd exchange, i'd be down


then agian, most people here probably don't like what i listen to

also, conversation with one of the coolest REM fans i know (one i love, at least):


me: dude, have you heard accelerate? it's pretty damn good

her: um, yeah, it's pretty good...houston is good...

me: what about man sized wreath or horse to water?

her: it's alright i guess...i mean, i really liked "around the sun" and "reveal"



so i guess it's different strokes for different folks



me:

NAIHF
Murmur
Reckoning
Up

Out of Time (REALLY moved up lately)
Automatic
Fables
LRP
monster
Green
Reveal
Around the Sun

Accelerate?

I only recommended uploading them because I know with our last mix exchange and with some Secret Santas we have been limited because some people do not want to pay for shipping outside of the country or we've had people who never got them. I figure that way that would make it easier to pair people since they won't be as many limitations.

Also, I've always really liked Out of Time. Even Shiny Happy People and Me in Honey. I have no idea how I would rate Accelerate yet though. Definitely above their last two but I am still letting it wear on me.

so how is this going to work, are we going to be paired off or do we just get told a random person from the list and supply them with a mix? Or will we just be submitting all the mixes and you draw names and give them one randomly?

I did not want to pair people up. I want it to be sort of like how Secret Santa is; you know who you are making the mix for but the person you are making it for does not know who they will be getting it from. We can decide on a deadline to post them on here or whatever. Are you all alright with not sending a physical disc in the mail? We could maybe agree on a certain number of tracks as a minimum or maximum since there is no disc. I am open to suggestions about pretty much everything though.

i think it would be a good idea to limit it to what would fit on a single cd so it could quickly be burned and listened to if desired. i also definitely think it's a better idea to up them than mail them too, it's quicker and more efficient.

Yeah, I suppose the minute standard is now eighty with most discs? I don't really see seventy-four minute discs anymore but I do not buy them enough to really pay attention to that stuff anymore.

yeah i haven't used a 74 minute disc in years, 80 is the most common one now for sure.

I'll join if this is still open.

i will be in as well.

Yeah, I'll probably leave it open until at least next weekend.

i'm in. also, i'll suggest using muxtape to do it:

http://muxtape.com/

i had quiet or quiet cd last time.

i'd be up for it.

Isn't there a limit of twelve songs or something? It's a neat site but that seems kind of short. Also, that would probably make it more difficult for somebody to download it and then burn it onto a CDR if they wanted to as opposed to just putting it on sendspace or whatever. If the rest of you would prefer to use it then we can do that though.

if its not a physical disc people could just make a .rar file and upload for whoever wanted to download it.

if its not a physical disc people could just make a .rar file and upload for whoever wanted to download it.

The mix still should be made for someone; that's part of the fun of a mix exchange.

So, pbe assigns random partners- person A makes one for person B who makes one for person C and so on... but none of the receivers will know who the sender is until later.

What has worked on other boards' exchanges is this:

pale blue eyes randomly assigns senders to recievers.

pbe PMs senders with their assigned receiver.

Sender makes a mix for their receiver. The mix is uploaded to a sharing site (sendspace, etc)

Sender's PM pbe their upload links (they are NOT sent to the receiver by the sender). Once everyone's mix was in, she would PM each reciever with their sender's mix.

The receiver would listen to the mix, and then at least give a brief review in this thread.

Once the review was in, the sender would identify themselves and post the tracklisting.

If she wants, pbe could monitor who reviews a mix, and then make that mix available for everyone to download in the first post. By the end, everyone's mix would be identified and downloadable from the first post in the thread.


This process seems to work fine on other boards. This being Netphoria, that might be too much for people to handle. But I thought I'd throw it out there.


One other thing to consider- whether or not you want the mix to be a surprise. Do we want to untag all of the files, so that the receiver absolutely does not know what they're getting until the actually listen to it? Or do we leave them tagged?

The above seems like a good idea to me. I may be alone on this but I have no idea how to untag mp3s.

Since I am thinking of it: I am assuming most people would prefer mixes to be mp3 format? I know some people are really picky about that sort of thing but as long as I can play it and it's not a .wma file then I really do not care.

i hope whoever gets me shares my secret obsession for the Britney Spears song "Lucky"


you could untag your songs manually in your media player program (i don't know how you listen to your music) but im sure theres something out there that could be downloaded to make it more efficient.

you can untag files in winamp - edit info

I'm sure I could figure out how to do it in iTunes if I fooled with it.

oh itunes is real easy, just right click the song (or drag and highlight many first) then go to get info. From there, just erase everything filled in about the song and hit ok. I would make a copy of each song you want to put on the mix then erase everything about them in terms of tags but add a common album/artist name like netphoria mix or something so they will still show up in the browser (if you use that in itunes) and so you can work with ordering them

yeah as long as its not .wma

wait...when did this become a m3u file exchange?

i thought we were exchanging hard copies.

check the first post ;)

i'm willing to do this. it sounds fun!

lets wait till someone 'requests' your muxtape before you start feeling self important that people actually want it.

what

you're just a moron arent you

I shall throw my hat into the ring.

i take mine out. i wont be around.

wait...when did this become a m3u file exchange?

i thought we were exchanging hard copies.

I think the main problem we had last time was having people send late or stuff getting lost in the mail so I suggested and we all sort of decided to upload them somewhere. They'll be no longer than eighty minutes so they could be burned onto a disc if the receiver wanted to do so. If this changes your mind about wanting to participate please let me know.

lets wait till someone 'requests' your muxtape before you start feeling self important that people actually want it.

obviously.

im in!

Alrighty, since the number of people signing up seems to be dwindling please start posting some of your musical preferences.

Mine:

Likes / Last.fm: http://www.last.fm/user/nigel_tufnel
Dislikes: I'll listen to anything once but if you are considering including something that is not even close to anything I listen to then you might want to rethink it though.


Also, let me know how long the wait between assigning pairings and the due date for the mix should be. Two weeks? One month? Let me know.

likes (recently) - the breeders, the pixies, sonic youth, black keys, eels, - i guess pretty much rock n general?
dislikes - rap, country

http://www.last.fm/user/junipertots

here is my last.fm. however i'd like a mix that didn't ******* really anything on there so i could hear some new stuff.. pretty much anything will go

http://www.last.fm/user/rhinowing/

Put anything that isn't Smashing Pumpkins on my mix?

likes: polyrhythms, unusual instrumentation/production/song structures, minor keys

dislikes: singer/songwriters

likes: 60's & 70's rock, vocal harmonies, loud guitars, great drums, world music, ball jiggling 808's.... anything but rap

dislikes: rap

Can somebody sticky this thread? Pretty please?

Likes: I specifically like loud riffy music that "rocks". i don't really know how to explain it but maybe whoever pulls me will get it.

Dislikes: The only thing i don't really want on mine is Rap, Pop-Country, or anything irritatingly unusual. But if you had to put them on there i'd deal with it.

Oh yeah, and no pumpkins or nirvana

floppy nono wants to hear a whole bunch of post-grunge

yeah man! everyone knows loud riffy music never existed until post-grunge. what else could i possibly hope for?


MOAR CREED PLZ

Likes:

Kindof atonal hevy stuff like Jesus Lizard, Pissed Jeans, Shellac

Psychadelic freakout stuff like Frank zappa, King Crimson, Acid Mothers Temple

Excellent songwriting/lyrics with idiosyncratic delivery like Leonard Cohen, Elliot Smith, Silver Jews.

Jazz - John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Django Reinhardt, Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman.

Modern dancey songwriting stuff like LCD soundsystem, Holy Fuck, MGMT.

Vampy funky rhythmic stuff like Fela Kuti.

Dislikes:

Umm, closest I can get is happy, major key classical music.

RE: the deadline, I'd say two weeks is loads of time.

http://www.last.fm/user/mxzombie/

Not to be a pain but I can't access last fm in work so even a cut and paste job into the thread would be appreciated.

why are you guys listing the stuff you LIKE?

surely this whole exercise is about introducing people to NEW forms of music?

Likes:

80s metal (maiden, metallica, gnr)
80s new wave (Cure, New Order etc.)
90s alt rock (janes, AiC, pumpkins, soundgarden etc.)
pop (madonna, en vogue, michael jackson etc.)
anything with good female vocals (norah jones, mazzy star, garbage, veruca salt etc)

Dislikes:
most rap (anything by Dr. Dre is ok though)
country (unless its really really old country ala Cash or even John Denver ha)

and actually, whoever draws me, I really don't give a shit if you follow my likes/dislikes - just do whatever you feel like doing =)

why are you guys listing the stuff you LIKE?

True, but you've got to work from somewhere.

hardcore is right; i want whatever the person making it wants to put on it - the more weird and melodic it is, the better.

Im game, but I won't tailor it for someone based on what I've seen of their taste. I think a doorstep into the world of the mix creator musically is the whole point. Is that your intention PBE?

edit: ah, fuck it.

Im game, but I won't tailor it for someone based on what I've seen of their taste. I think a doorstep into the world of the mix creator musically is the whole point. Is that your intention PBE?

My intention was to make a mix exchange. Like AndySlash said, you can make whatever kind of mix you want but I don't think there is anything wrong with providing some kind of information for the person making your mix. Since people are not assigned to anybody yet, somebody could make a mix of artists that are similar to what their partner likes or just say fuck it and put whatever they want on there. I'm not saying you have to do either but I thought some ideas might be helpful to some people.

I was asking PBE because it was her/his idea originally and If he/she calls a certain theme then that's all good. I guess the fact that there is multiple ideas about how this can go suggests a collision of interest. If we are all happy to do our own thing and accept something potentially random and not indicative of our tastes then that's cool.

Sure, given it was your idea I just thought your call on the matter appropriate.

Yeah, it can be whatever. I mean, if people want to suggest a theme feel free to but I just sort of wanted to listen to some new music. We can hash things out until the end of the week and then I will pair people up.

Also, is two weeks enough for everybody after being paired up? I haven't reallt heard anything either way about that.

I mean, if people want to suggest a theme feel free to but I just sort of wanted to listen to some new music.

Theme suggestion:
http://www.jessture.com/MySpace/simps_borrow_feeling.jpg

im down with new music like matt said, but to give an idea of what to look for.. recently ive been listening to the roots a lot so some id be down with some hip-hop with live instruments, but im still more of a rock guy. my favorite bands ******* nirvana, radiohead, zeppelin, sparklehorse, blonde redhead, and the fiery furnaces. so generally catchy and fast.

So, do any of you want a theme or do you just basically wanted to be assigned who to make the mix for already?

I don't think we need a theme.

no theme.

Ok so no theme, in digital format (no mailing) and should be eighty minutes or less so as to fit on a disc? Anybody who has signed up disagree with that and want to drop out? Please let me know if there are any issues. Otherwise, I will assign everyone somebody to make a mix for sometime this weekend. How about May 1st for a due date for the mix? It's more than two weeks but seemed like a date most people would remember.

sounds good to me

sounds good to me

<aga>

All good.

I'm above all of you so i won't participate.

http://www.last.fm/user/PunkyTheDog/

i like the idea of at least trying to tailor the mix to someone's tastes.

may 1st is fine for me.

like: i like stuff that's at least pushing the envelope in some way, though not any way in particular. a certain pop sensibility is important to me though. i like to be able to actually enjoy what i'm listening to.

dislikes: rap. modern country, a good old country song i have no problem with. i tend to gravitate away from instrumentals, but that's not to say i can't enjoy them.

once again, this sounds like a lot of fun, and i can't wait for it.

well, i would like for things to fit one's taste, but at the same time be new to them. for example it might not be a bad idea to glance over their last.fm to get a feel for things and then create something that you think would be similar to their likes, but that also doesn't appear to be heavily listened to.

so i guess it's different strokes for different folks





you think? i don't think so at all

May 1st is great, but I would still prefer to snail mail it. Could we make that an option?

if we were going to do some kind of theme thing i think it would be cooler if we tried to make a mix that matched our personality and then tried to guess who made the mix based off of the song choices, styles, etc.. Maybe if we did this again or something.

May 1st is great, but I would still prefer to snail mail it. Could we make that an option?

If whomever you are assigned is alright with giving out their address and you still want to mail it to wherever they live, even if it is in another country then that's fine. It would be nice if you also uploaded it so when everybody's partner is revealed all mixes can be available for anybody to download and sample. That was another reason I sort of liked just uploading them.

hey i usually just browse here once in a while out but id like to participate with this. gimme some different shit all over the place whoever makes my mix.

Sign-ups for the mix exchange are now closed.

All who have signed up as of yesterday (please see page one of this thread for the complete list) will be receiving a PM from me shortly regarding your assigned mix recipient. Please keep in mind that you must PM me the link to your uploaded mix on or before May 1st. DO NOT post them in the thread or contact your partner directly. If you have any general questions about the mix exchange, please either post them here or PM me.

im shivering with anticipation!

my loins=quavering

my throbbing manhood is bulging with anticipation!

ok.

I have sent all PMs out by now. If you haven't gotten one, please let me know.

Please remember to also keep your mix under eighty minutes so your recipient can burn it on a disc if they want to and because I think putting a reasonable limit on there is probably a good thing. Nobody needs a two hour long mix.

So, can you recap the final details:

May 1st Deadline
Mp3 format, under 80minutes, uploaded
Tracks are to be untagged and filenamed as "Track01", etc...

Anything else?

Nope, looks like that is about it.

do you think it might be a good idea to submit both an untagged mix for our secret netphorian and a tagged mix so it'll be easier when they all go up for general download?

Well, you can if you want to but once the mix maker posts the tracklist after the receiver has posted a review in the thread then I do not see it being a big deal either way.

alright! you're the boss, boss.

how are we going to get our mixes to the recipients without revealing ourselves

everyone can submit to PBE and she can email them out.

i;m really happy at who i got. i will enjoy making this mix very much. thanks, pbe.

i like floppys cock . i mean idea. make it easier instead of retagging all that shit again blah.

someones going to be really disappointed when they get my mix because of my shitty taste in music

i like floppys cock . i mean idea. make it easier instead of retagging all that shit again blah.

yeah bro, the cock never lies!

I get the feeling the pairs weren't chosen randomly...?

everyone can submit to PBE and she can email them out.

I'm pretty sure I said earlier in the thread but PM me the link to your mix and I will PM it to the recipient so they do not know who it came from. Basically what AndySlash outlined before is what I will be doing since that seemed to make sense and if I try to change anything I will somehow get confused and screw things up.

I get the feeling the pairs weren't chosen randomly...?

They were chosen randomly and in a very scientific way that included folded post-it notes and my Phillies cap.

my mix is monstrous.

im jus gonna post a mix later because i didnt wanna disappoint anyone who woulda been paired with me.

i'd be nice is more people posted likes/dislikes/last.fm accounts, or at least say whether they care what they get or not. i don't pay too much attention to who says what on here, so i wouldn't say i know the kind of things someone likes without maybe looking up past posts.

in that case just make a mix of the most offensive shit you can think of and they can chalk it up to poor participation

someones going to be really disappointed when they get my mix because of my shitty taste in music

yep

do we send the rar's to the individual or in this thread?

your retarded. send the link to the yousendit or megaupload link to pale blue eyes. PM her.

For those who do not know where to start with their partners because they have not posted a last.fm or any kind of preferences - try reading their old posts on this board. Most members participating post in here a lot and you'll be able to find out something about their likes and dislikes. That being said, if you have not posted something about your likes and dislikes and intend to please do so soon.

er - i don't like "happy" music enless it's really full of wuphow -- you know.. aheheh

i like music which is interesting - not just nice hooks :) if that helps?

oh yeah just reminding everyone to listen at least once with headphones - i just want to tell whoever gets mine to do so but might as well remind everyone because im such a hero

http://www.last.fm/user/walterMcjoe/

http://www.last.fm/user/tobeh/

I will listen to anything. No need to go by my previously posted, a mix of bands you're really into would be cool.

http://www.last.fm/user/tobeh/

Add me as a friend, you ass. It's been pending for months.


For whoever my mixmaster is, www.last.fm/user/AndySlash. Imagine that.

are we supposed to put obscure shit that people don't know, or just put together a mix of songs that the listener may already own, but its how the songs are tied together thats special?

I would definitely say how the songs are tied together is important. You want to make something that sounds good while listening to it all the way through and not choppy like it sounds like you took a bunch of songs from the radio and slapped them onto a disc. It doesn't need to be filled with really obscure shit, just fill it with music you like that you think they might also enjoy. Maybe a couple of songs you love but feel most people might not know or maybe a really good live track. I'm not really sure what to tell you besides to listen to it all the way through before you decide it is done. If you don't like it or find yourself skipping a song or two then you might want to try fooling with it some more.

i'm going to treat this like a final paper and make it the night before it's due

i spent like 3 hours on mine last night. and touch and feel it as i go till may. touch and feel.

i googled - how to make the perfect mixtape lol im such a loser >.<

source said -- best song at beginning and end also try and make everysong different genre wise

http://www.last.fm/user/mistamista1

Hmm decisions decisions...

edit: actually, i would like it to be a complete surprise.

.

I am probably pretty sure the person I am giving this stuff too already owns 90% of the music, I am just presenting it in a certain way =)

if I bought a song from itunes and its got that file protection on it, will it not work if I put it in a rar file? anyone know how to get around that?

use audio recording software to record it, although i dont know of any freeware that lets you record. You can also burn and rip it

TRANSCODE!!!!!!

:) pm me the song and ill what.cd it for all you transcodaphobics

I have been kind of surprised to get a handful of mixes already. Do you think I should pass them on to their respective recipients now or should I wait until I have all of them in? I figure it might be a good thing to keep the thread busy but on the downside people who are early recipients might listen to their mix and have second thoughts about the one they are making or rush it. What do you all think?

I think they should all be distributed at the same time but may 1st seems a little far off.

give it a week i say

Well, how about for right now I will just say that if I get them all in a few days early I will go ahead and pass them along. Otherwise, I'll just wait and see what happens.

how bout you put a thing on the first page where you check off who has and hasnt sent theirs in yet. a check list.

a lot of our upload links are going to expire long before may 1

Yeah, that occurred to me earlier today when I uploading something for a friend of mine. Since the links will expire I think I might just start passing them on tonight. That way the thread will stay busy for the next two weeks or however long it takes until they are all in. I could just download and reupload them but it seems sort of dumb since on a regular mix exchange some people might get them early. I will figure out something when I get home tonight.

should i have participated in this

YES.

i'd like some good sleeping music. or just stuff they think is good as that probably easier...

mine should be up within the hour. sequencing is no fun

13 songs 57 min nothing too obscure
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UZLJY76D

Not to be a bitch or anything, but why didn't you just sign up to get a partner in the first place?

Oh, and after sleeping on it I have decided to start forwarding links to participants. With expiring links it just seems the right thing to do instead of waiting and I have gotten a bunch so far.

your retarded.

one of my favourite things a person can post on the internet, second to "your a idiot"

I have updated the first post. If you have any questions about anything, please PM me!

Ok after one listen:

Good mix, flows fairly well quite eclectic which I liked.
Unfamiliar with most bands/artists on this, atleast 6-7 of them have given a good impression straight off, and pretty certain a few of the others I will get into.
Got pretty much what I wanted, mix creator has an interesting varied taste and has not really compromised this to make it more accessible.
Will certainly listen to this more because it flows fairly well, and will look into some of the bands included more extensively.

I will say it's not all favourable to my taste, but that is pretty meaningless given that probably half or more of it will warrant further inspection.

Thanks

8/10

Review
a) didn't know any of the songs, cept the nick drake and pixies tracks
b) some of the songs were still quasi tagged - bad form there
c) i liked about 1/3 of it, the other 2/3 was shitty indie music. shout outs to track 13, track 4, track 8 and track 11 for the good try
d) all in all didn't care for most of it, but props for taking the time to put it together whoever did it ('cept for the tracks that were still tagged)

4/10


edit**
forgot to say that track 13 was my favorite, a very 'mogwai-ish song

i received my mix. i haven't given it a good listen just listened to the beginnings before work today to see if i recognized anything. propagandhi and streetlight. i can say you at least have good taste in shitty music. actually, maybe this is what i've been looking for.

i'll kick off 4-20 with it.

sorry for the bad review watermelon, just wasn't my cup of tea so to speak.

whoever got me didn't un-tag all of their songs unproperly, so I know who some of the songs are. no bigs, but it's also not very hard to untage them. tedious, yes, but it's not impossible, guys n gals. (now watch me not do it properly either. :()

i will post my review later, busy today.

ok who wants me to make a mixtape for them

ok who wants me to make a mixtape for them

please include: wheels in the sky, don't stop believin', runaway train, more than a feeling, ... and anything by Fall Out Boy!

YEEEEeeesaSSSSssssssssssssss!

alrighty:
Loved the split between the dancey side and the rock side
Three days FUCK YEAH
also the bootleg zeppelin killed it. Was that from the Houston 5/16 soundboard tape?
Flowed really nicely, especially the second half
even the Aaliyah worked
9/10

This happened with about 6 songs on the one I got from redbull but I think WMP somehow recognised them without any of the tag info and just brought up all the info.

sorry for the bad review watermelon, just wasn't my cup of tea so to speak.

no worries. there were some odd things in there. i was trying to get stuff you hadn't heard before. glad you liked a few of the tracks though. :)

You and I have similar tastes in music, I knew that I probably wasn't going to have too much stuff that you didn't already own, so I thought about interesting ways to present the music. So, for anyone else interested, I went with a Side A and Side B mixtape, Side A I went with electronica and Side B with alt rock/rock stuff

Tracklisting

SIDE A
1. Daft Punk - Human After All
2. Billy Corgan - A100
3. Janet Jackson - If
4. Bjork - Army of Me
5. Depeche Mode - I Feel You
6. New Order - Slow Jam
7. Aaliyah - Try Again

SIDE B
1. The Cure - Burn
2. Jane's Addiction - Three Days
3. Alice in Chains - Queen of the Rodeo (live)
4. Jimmy Hendrix - The Wind Cries Mary (live at Monterey)
5. Candlebox - Rain
6. Led Zeppline - No Quarter (live at the Garden)
7. Mazzy Star - Into Dust


I went through many different songs in the mix to try and get it right, I even had some songs that you probably hadn't heard, but they just didn't go well with the other songs, so I ditched them. I am glad you really enjoyed it.

for anyone else who want the mix, here you go -

tracks 4, 6, and 12 are local bands

none of the tracks have track numbers so there is no way of telling which song is which. i am trying to retag everyone's mixes as they are posted, but i don't have anything to go by with this one. can you post track times of each song or post a link to the tagged files? thanks/

edit:
also, how did deadeyes listen to it in the proper order if the tracks were not ordered when in the player?

they're named sequentially.
(01.mp3, 02.mp3, 03.mp3 etc)

ok, i see. i opened them in itunes and nothing had a name, but i just realized the file names have a number when i go look at the file. i guess it really depends on which player you tag/untag them in whether someone else will see the same thing you see.

from Junipertots: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y9WD9BYX

Track 01 - Didn't like it that much. It was OK, but nothing I would listen to again.
Track 02 - Tagged as Iron and Wine. I'm a slightly aware of their output, but I did not like most of this song.
Track 03 - Really like this one. Has a nice 80's vibe to it; reminds me a little bit of Genesis' "darker" pop songs.
Track 04 - Song is definitely good; I like the vibe of it. Some parts are eh, but I'd listen to it again. Flows well with track 3.
Track 05 - Tagged as Pink Floyd. Never have heard this song, though, but it's excellent.
Track 06 - Wanted to like, but ended up not.
Track 07 - Tagged as the Spinto Band. It was OK, might check them out more.

Track 08 - Tagged as the Flaming Lips. Kinda familiar with them, but I don't remember having heard this. I like it, though. Definitely flows well with Track 7.

Track 09 - Nice song, but too background-y.
Track 10 - Didn't care too much for this, don't like the dude's voice.

Track 11 - Guessing this is Radiohead...Don't know this song, but I really like it. I like his voice. Is this an Amnesiac B-Side? It strikes me as possible. "I want to eat your artichoke heart"? AWESOME.

Track 12 - Tagged as The Good, the Bad, the Queen. I'm not huge on the dude's voice.
Track 13 - Labeled as Four Tet. I really like this; I've gotten into this type of music in the last year or so, so I will for sure check them out.

Track 14 - YAY! "Blackbird"! I feel really dumb asking this, but maybe it could be that I haven't heard it in a while or the possibility of being an alternate take. Is this a cover?

Track 15 - Labeled as Beach Boys. ahaha, awesome, "Wouldn't It Ne Nice"! I'm more of a fan of their "weirder", un-poppy songs but I do like this one.

Track 16 - Short and sweet; kinda sounded like an early U2 demo or something for some of the song. Haha.
Track 17 - Another short song - sometimes those are the best. I like this.

Track 18 - Third short song. Sounds like a baby radio, all twinkly and piano-y. Nice, but wouldn't have a reason to listen to it again. probably makes a good segeue into whatever albums it's on.

Track 19 - Tagged as Zero 7. Halfway through the short song stretch. This is a simple song, but I like it. Would listen again, but the dude doesn't seem to have a voice I could listen to for a whole album. Which was true when I heard one of their albums.

Track 20 - Cover of "You Are My Sunshine"; ultimately disposable.
Track 21 - Labeled as Keiichi Suzuki. Sounds interesting, is all their music like this?

Track 22 - Labeled as Trail of Dead. I don't really care for them (though they were good in concert 6 years ago). This is different from what I have heard from them, but still don't really like it.

Track 23 - Labeled as Rothko. Sounds like a decent enough singer, but a bit on the forgettable side.

Track 24 - I LOVE THIS SONG!!! IT'S "GREAT ESCAPE" BY MOBY AND AZURE RAY. I used to be so friggin' in love with this song. I have listened to it probably 100+ times since I first heard it 5 years ago. <3 <3

Track 25 - Labeled as Portishead. I don't know how I feel about them, but this song isn't swaying me to the positive side of that dilemma.
Track 26 - Labeled as Modest Mouse. What album is this from? Short and sweet, but I like it! Is this from that Sad Sappy Sucker thing?
Track 27 - Haha, dunno what this 0:16 clip is and I have no idea how to feel about it.

Overall, it flowed pretty well, I just wasn't a fan of most of it. Thank you for the effort, though, it seems like a lot of thought was put into this because of the way it flowed. Points for the Pink Floyd and Radiohead, Extra points for introducing me to Four Tet and Bonus Points for the Moby/Azure Ray song.

I liked that you did a song by song review. I uploaded this album with tagged tracks but lost the upload link when I sent it to PBE. She has one though, so i will get that from her so everyone can have a tagged copy if they wish to download it.

edit: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WUAO2G75
here is the link to my mix with TAGGED tracks

03 Peter Gabriel - Red Rain
haha, i had a feeling even though i have heard limited solo stuff of his.


27 Junipertots - Dust Bunny
i also had a feeling this was a band you might have played in, but i wasn't sure if you were in a band.

actually, i have no musical training and don't have a band. i was home alone one night and that is what came about. it's been around a year or so and i just thought i'd throw it on there... i wanted to close the mix with a sense of confusion rather than resolution.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WUAO2G75

just got done making the final selections and am upping my mix now. just wanted to say that this is a really good idea and we should do it more often.

it was really hard to cut it down to under 100mb. :(

we should do it more often.seconded

I know I said earlier that the deadline is on or before May 1st but if you those of you who still need to make theirs could try to get it in by April 30th then that would be great. It ends up I will be traveling on May 1st and would not want somebody to have to wait until the following week to get their mix link forwarded to them. I will probably check email and shit sporadically but I would really appreciate it if I didn't have to.

i really liked my mix. i recognized very few songs, just one by the smiths, billy. ill write a bit.

track 1 is sick. instrumental rock. reminds of es post humus, the techno rock, without the strings. actually i feel like playing quake after this. good opener.

track 2. very nice. jc complex-ish but heavier vocals.

track 3. yeah! this one is absolutely fantastic. lyrics, melodies. id be interested in hearing more from this band.

track 4. thanks for putting in odder shit not just rock. french ? this gives me a noir feeling/setting.

track 5. cool. lets dance in a forest.

track 12. short punky song. catchy chorus i wouldnt mind this in the car.

track 13. yeah :) id like to hear more from these.

track 14. organ drones yay... just in time for 4/20.

track 16. i know its sabbath. this is a fun track.

track 17. heads will roll. wicked.

track 18. brings me back. sound garden.

we should do it more often.


yeah i want in on round 2.

disclaimer: nobody will ever like what i submit.

i porbably would.

what does ravenguy listen to other than alt country and singer songwriters and melancholic folk music

that and grindcore

yeah i want in on round 2.

disclaimer: nobody will ever like what i submit.

I would. You're actually one of the people I hoped would participate in it.

Way to let me down, assface.

i think mine is from D. im going to listen straight through and give my observation as it plays

track 1- awesome opener for the mix. starts off pretty simple, builds up in volume then dies down gracefully. short and sweet
track 2- brian wilson would be proud. dig it
track 3- corrupt file :(
track 4- band of horses is it? this song is pretty if not repetative. not my thing but i dont hate it
track 5- okkervil river. gotta love austin bands. i dig it. hey wait... im from austin.. arent you from kansas city, D? coincidence? I THINK NOT. i like this song a lot
track 6- this sounds really familiar, but i cant place why. sounds like another beach boys song. or something that i sang when i was in kindergarten. dig it again
track 7- is this mates of state? the first time i heard them i was stoned out of my mind in paris on tour with dexter freebish. somebody we were touring with was obsessed with this band. this makes me wish i was high right now. total mind fuck with the split vox. arent they from kansas, too?
track 8- cool song for the most part. i dont like the vox at all. they remind me of blink 182 for some reason, but less sucky. i think these guys were on speed when they mixed this song. its all over the place. i would like to hear a lossless version just to hear what those chimes sound like. i can dig it
track 9- im not a big white strips fan, though i can appreciate them. i hate the cher autotune trick.
track 10- genesis? sounds different than i remember, maybe is the mp3. not a fan of there's, but this is a trippy song.
track 11- haha c&c! rawk
track 12- this song would be killer for some final fantasy credits. doesn't really take me anywhere and is kind of generic but i like it
track 13- blah. repetative, sappy. it made me want to listen to genesis again. generic
track 14- cool track. more interesting than the last track.
track 15- broken afternoon is a cool track. one of my friends digs these guys. sounds like a mix of don mclean and rodney crowell. i'll dig it more when i'm in the right mood.
track 16- very cool version of this old song. reminds me of stuff my parents played to me when i was a kid.
track 17- is this helio sequence again? sounds familiar. this time they sound like tom waits



good mix. definitely more mood music to me, but there isnt anything on here that i won't listen to again. the flow got a little stagnant towards the end. some of the songs kind of sounded the same which made for long periods without change.

nice job


dig it

just got done making the final selections and am upping my mix now. just wanted to say that this is a really good idea and we should do it more often.

it was really hard to cut it down to under 100mb. :(

wait...we're doing a mb limit? i thought it was for what would fit on a cd, time wise?

im pretty sure it was just 80min

that's what i thought too, but i have a mix that fits on a cd and is going above 100mb (not quite finished) so i thought it best to make sure

hes prob using mediafire which is the one i think that has 100mb max upload.

my mix was:

01. The Gifted Children - The Last of the Surface Tourists
02. Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk - 3
03. Jenny Hoylston and William Whitmore - The First of a Thousand Beasts
04. Band of Horses - Marry Song
05. Okervvil River - Kansas City
06. Animal Collective - Derek
07. Mates of State - Punchlines
08. Cloud Cult - Take Your Medicine
09. White Stripes - You're Pretty Good Looking For A Girl (Trendy American Remix)
10. Genesis - The Lady Lies
11. Coheed and Cambria - The Road and the Damned
12. Bluescreen - Blue
13. Airiel - Kiss Me Sadly
14. Panda Riot - Olivia On the Downbeat
15. Helio Sequence - Broken Afternoon
16. Secret Machines - Girl From the North Country (Bob Dylan cover)
17. Helio Sequence - No Regrets

it really sucks that #3 didn't work. it's a beautiful song, but i've always had problems with it from time to time.

16. Secret Machines - Girl From the North Country (Bob Dylan cover)


i knew it was the secret machines! i put a song of theres on my mix


edit: dammit i didnt afterall. i meant to, too :(

hes prob using mediafire which is the one i think that has 100mb max upload.

ahh, that makes sense. thanks

D. are you going to provide a link to your mix?

finished choosing tracks. Gonna listen to it one more time and prolly up it tomorrow. I hope my recipient likes it :S

D. are you going to provide a link to your mix?

Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?ge1mjojunnx

i really don't want to do a track by track review cause that'd be tedious, and i don't remember the order, really.

as a whole, i liked the cd enough, although i'm not much of a "song" person lately. although musicianship on some of the tracks was impressive. i did happen to find track 9 extremely annoying, though. why would you transpose the shitty power chords you play on your guitar to a string quartet. that's all i heard. track 13 was amusing. my mom once knew a guy in miami who found a square grouper in the bay and lived rather comfortably for about a year without having to work.

this review sucks, but i want to know who it is. i'm guessing waltermcphilp.

this review sucks, but i want to know who it is. i'm guessing waltermcphilp.

i made the mix. here's the tracklisting with some info on why i put them on the mix.

1. The Brian Jonestown Massacre - All Around You (Intro)
i thought this was the perfect intro track for a mix of this sort.

2. Modest Mouse - Teeth Like God's Shoeshine
my favorite song by these guys. i though about including Doin' In The Cockroach instead but i opted for this one.

3. Jeffrey Lewis - Alphabet
i love Jeffrey Lewis and i think this is a beautiful song with some of my favorite lyrics.

4. George Harrison - Apple Scruffs
my favorite song from All Thing Must Pass. i've never really heard anyone talk about it, so i don't know how well known it is. it's about the people that used to hang outside of Apple Studios or whatever back in the day.

5. David Bowie - Take My Tip
i'm a huge David Bowie fan and i don't think enough people have heard is pre-album stuff from '64-'67. this is one of my favorites from the era.

6. Streetlight Manifesto - Point/Counterpoint
you didn't post a last.fm account or any likes/dislikes so i looked through some old posts of yours and i saw that you'd made a thread wanting people to suggest some ska. i don't know a lot of ska, but no one i've heard does it like Streetlight and i love these guys. the way they do the horns, i fucking love the drumming, and i dig the guys voice. so i just picked some song off their first album.

7. The Zutons - Valarie
i love The Zutons and i they're pretty much unknown here in the states. this is one of my favorites from their last album. the chorus is soooo good. the have a new album coming out soon.

8. Propagandhi - Back To The Motor League
this is my favorite punk song.

9. Matson Jones - New York City Fuck Off
this was a band from where i used to live (fort collins, co). i thought they were pretty unique. sorry you didn't dig on it. two chicks with cellos and a drummer.

10. Marcy Playground - John Fisher Ford
this is a song by Marcy Playground from Zog Bog Bean, the album they released independently before their self-titled album that had Sex And Candy on it. i just dig it and think it's a neat little tune about drugs and what they can do to some people.

11. The Verve - Catching The Butterfly
The Verve's Urban Hymns is one of my all time favorite albums, so i thought i'd ******* a track from it. it could've been any track from that album on here. i pretty much picked it by random.

12. Of Montreal - So Begins Our Alabee
this song makes me happier than any other song on the planet. the "oh-uh-oh-oh" in the chorus is what makes it for me.

13. Reverend Horton Heat - Bales Of Cocaine
the Rev is great drinkin' music. you should check out his best of Holy Roller. it's a great introductory disc. i almost included Marijuana (very similar feel to the almost instrumental "Tequila") but decided something with more words would be more enjoyable.

14. The Dandy Warhols - Get Off
this is my favorite Dandy Warhols song. they have a new album coming out on 5/5. if you liked this track maybe you'll like the new album.

15. !!! - Storm The Legion
these guys' guitar work always reminds me of Talking Heads. this is a cool song, so i threw it on there.

16. Grandaddy - Broken Household Appliance National Forest
this is from my favorite Grandaddy album, The Sophtware Slump. it always makes me think of the world Tyler Durden describes in Fight Club before he disappears. the book paints a better picture of that world though.

17. Apartment - Tokyo For Miko
this a british band that i fucking love and i don't think anyone really knows about. this is my favorite from their album The Dreamer Evasive. the chorus kills! really fun song, imo.

18. Harvey Danger - War Buddies
Harvey Danger was a one hit wonder in the 90's, but they put out an album called Little By Little a year or two ago. as far as i know they were the first band to actually release their album for free online and it always burns me that they aren't recognized for this more often. this one of my favorite from that album.

19. Michael Penn - Small Black Box
Michael Penn is Sean Penn's brother. i don't think many people no him outside of maybe his one semi-hit in 1989, No Myth. this is from his 1997 album Resigned. he's an amazing lyricist and i wish more people would hear him.

20. ? & The Mysterians - 96 Tears
there was a point in time that this was my favorite song. gotta love the organ. everyone needs to be familiar with this classic.


i was pretty bummed with your review. i was hoping for a bit more. i was really excited to make this mix for you. i hope you at least find a song on it you didn't know, but liked, and maybe look more into that artist. then you won't have to worry about just a song, but be able to listen to a whole album.

link? the deuce?

10. Marcy Playground - John Fisher Ford
this is a song by Marcy Playground from Zog Bog Bean, the album they released independently before their self-titled album that had Sex And Candy on it. i just dig it and think it's a neat little tune about drugs and what they can do to some people.
:rockon:

I remember buying this when it went on sale through their website like 7 or 8 years ago. I love the whole thing. Actually I just love every song I've ever heard by them.

John Wozniak (the lead singer) is supposed to be releasing a solo album sometime. it's been done for probably over a year now. he posted songs from it on his myspace. i guess he's just looking for a label.

i love pretty much everything MP has done as well. i know i have a bunch of non album tracks of theirs around somewhere. if you're interested i could post them.

marcys playground was not what i expected them to be after hearing sex and candy 50 bazzillion times on the radio.... i really really liked that album

edit: where's me mixtape then???

A Review:


Mix title: Now That's What I Call A Netphorian Mix Exchange

This disc is all right. I don't really find myself craving any of these songs after a few listens, but at the same time I wouldn't mind having it on in the background. There wasn't anything that was a total turnoff so, in the very least, it's a pretty accessible and unoffensive mix.


1. An acoustic cover of the Beatles' 'Golden Slumbers'. Pretty straightforward cover, really, so I can't say much about it. Not bad.


2. The chorus kind of reminds me of the chorus of a song from the band Unified Theory (a pseudo-successor to Blind Melon). I dunno, this sounds like some generic indie rock radio stuff here.


3. Ditto. I mean, these aren't bad at all, but it just seems I've heard it already.


4. Whoever sings this does a pretty good job of sounding both sad and angered at the same time. Fits with the music. I kinda like this one.


5. So emo. Much like the term emo itself these days, this more fairly generic stuff.


6. "We can both be naked now and innocent." Who wants to do that?


7. My Morning Jacket- O Is The One That Is Real: I always meant to get the studio version of this song. So thanks for saving me some time. This is one of those songs I've liked since the first time I heard it.


8. "Life was perfectly sad. It's sadder now". Now with more emo! I'd probably have loved all of these when I was 17, though. I would have entered the lyrics onto my TI-82 calculator and looked at them incessantly after my girlfriends would break up with me.


9. An instrumental track. Doesn't really seem to go anywhere, though. I kinda feel like I should know who this is.


10. I liked this one. Catchier the more I listened to it.


11. Of all the PJ Harvey songs to cover, someone did 'The Whores Hustle And The Hustlers Whore'? It's not bad, though. This made me realize I haven't listened to Stories From The City... in a long time. I should pull that out.


12. Meh. Not a bad "meh", but just... meh.


13. The heaviest song so far on here. Doesn't do much for me, though. I like the bass sound.


14. A more urgent sounding cover of 'State Trooper'. Not sure I dig the guy's voice that much though.


15. clapclap...clap...clapclap...clap.


16. By this point, a lot of the songs have been fairly similar. Being an active listener for this review I'm kind of bored at this point. Like I said earlier, this wouldn't be bad to have on in the background, where I'm not forced to pay attention.


17. The chick singer on this track sounds like the gal from Lacuna Coil. I dunno... the kinda sounds like an amalgamation of Tool and Linkin Park. I'm not too big on it.


18. Eh. Probably one of the ones I least enjoyed.


19. Pelican? If not, I don't know who. Decent.


20. A Silversun Pickups song I don't remember the name of. Unlike many here, I do enjoy these guys.



So, yeah... separating my feelings on the songs themselves, I think the mix flows pretty well. It's never jarring or takes you out of the element.

I've a feeling there are a couple other people here who would enjoy this more than I would, so don't take my rather indifferent opinion of its content as a knock.

Yeah, can't think of much else to say.

i'm pretty sure the person i made the mix for died

The CD title was me being retarded ;D


:o This mix definitely had a mellow feel to it. I wanted to put some of my current favs on it, while try to keep it flowing well and keeping the artists varied (somewhat). Contrary to my earlier post, i didn't in<gh>clude any "punk" (take that as you will) rock, sans Bad Religion.

Anyways, here's the list:

1. Jorge Lopez - Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight (This is my buddy from Los Angeles. It didn't fit on here, but i wanted it in the mix, so i just threw it in the beginning)
2. First Wave Hello - Everything Automatic
3. Minus The Bear - Knights
4. Dustin Kensrue - I Knew You Before
5. Statistics - Nobody Knows Your Name
6. The Appleseed Cast - Ice Heavy Branches
7. My Morning Jacket - O Is the One That Is Real
8. Local H - The Summer of Boats
9. Kinski - Semaphore
10. These Arms Are Snakes - Angela's Secret
11. Desert Sessions - The Whores Hustle or The Hustler's Whore
12. Band of Horses - The Funeral
13. Cave In - Screaming In Your Sleep
14. Dustin Kensrue - State Trooper (Live, Acoustic)
15. Nada Surf - Everyone's On Tour
16. Bad Religion - Dearly Beloved (I had to throw some BR on this =) )
17. Feersum Ennjin - Dragon (one of Paul D'Amour of Tool's projects)
18. Junius - From The Isle of The Blessed
19. Thrice - Night Diving
20. Silversun Pickups - Comeback Kid

i'm pretty sure the person i made the mix for died

are you sure?

yeah, pretty sure

i hope you sent flowers to his funeral.

i renamed the mix to 'flowers' does that count?

the gesture will be very touching to him in the depths of hell

awesome

REMINDER

I have only gotten about half the mixes and the deadline is this coming Thursday. Please try to have them to me by Wednesday or at least early Thursday morning as I will be traveling. Like I said before, I will have limited access to a PC but I would rather not spend a lot of time on here if I can avoid it.

Also: Please, DO NOT under any circumstances contact your partner directly until after the exchange is over and they have reviewed your mix or whatever. If you have questions or concerns about ANYTHING, and it's not just a general question that can be answered in this thread, PM ONLY ME. I thought I had made this clear but apparently I did not. Allow me to do so: DO NOT CONTACT YOUR PARTNER. AT ALL. CONTACT ME INSTEAD.

we got it


you would have to be on drugs to contact your partner


and only douche bags do drugs

are you a douche bag?

This mix definitely had a mellow feel to it.

It did. It was nice how it kind of got progressively louder as it went on.

1. Jorge Lopez - Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight (This is my buddy from Los Angeles. It didn't fit on here, but i wanted it in the mix, so i just threw it in the beginning)

For a straightforward cover, it's pretty good.

8. Local H - The Summer of Boats

This is Local H? Really? I'm obviously not that familiar with them, but this still would not be what I'd think a Local H song would sound like?

10. These Arms Are Snakes - Angela's Secret

I like this one the more I listen to it.


11. Desert Sessions - The Whores Hustle or The Hustler's Whore

Still a seemingly bizarre choice for a cover.


Well, thanks for this. Sorry I'm not more into it... most of it was stuff I'd not heard or probably wouldn't seek out on my own, so at least I heard stuff I normally wouldn't have.

Track 01: This is Spoon. I think this is off of their latest album, which, admittedly, I have not listened to all that much. I like this song though and it's a nice opener.

Track 02: I have no idea who this is. I like the song up until about the last minute or so. I thought that a new song has started and it was like they just ran out of ideas of how to end the song.

Track 03: This song reminds me of modern rock radio in 1997. There were a bunch of bands who had weird sort of singles that were, I don't know, pseudo trip-hop? Like Sneaker Pimps and Primitive Radio Gods. I'm not sure what you would call it but it reminds of that. I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's not bad but not something I would go out and buy.

Track 04: Elliott Smith! This song is off of one of his posthumous albums. I am sure I could look in iTunes and find it but you can save me the effort. I like it, but I always have a bittersweet feeling after listening to his stuff anymore. :/

Track 05: This is The Frames' "Revelate" from their live album. I just sort of got into them after playing the Glen Hansard / Marketa Irglova album for about a month straight even before I saw the movie Once. Seemed to fit nicely here even though it opened on the other album.

Track 06: This is The Killers. I only really like one song of theirs ("Read My Mind") and I mentally file it in the guilty pleasure category. This song is alright but it just doesn't grab me.

Track 07: The vocalist sounds really, really familiar but I am just too tired to try to figure out who he is. I feel like I should know who he is but whatever. I like the song all right but am irked by I spent most of it trying to figure out who they were.

Track 08: This just sounds like generic electronica to me. I got through about two minutes of it but after that I just skipped the rest.

Track 09: This reminds me a bit of Fugazi, only if they were British and singing about a girl. I got kind of sick of it by the end though.

Track 10: No idea who this is. Not bad, I'd probably have to hear more by them though. I like the dual vocalists but, yeah, I'm not sure.

Track 11: I really like this song. It sounds older and is sort of sappy, so that's probably why. That's all I got.

Track 12: This is a cover of Elliott Smith's "Christian Brothers" but I have no idea who the artist / band covering it is. Not bad, but nothing spectacular. It seems like it might be hard to cover one of his songs and make it your own though.

Track 13: I really do not like this song. I'm not sure if it is the vocalist or what but I just do not like it.

Track 14: I'm not sure what to think of this song. I was sort of tricked into thinking it was an instrumental but then bam! Vocals! Alright but probably nothing I would listen to by itself again. Might work better on the album or something.

Track 15: This sounds familiar too but I have no idea who it is. I am sort of tired though.

Track 16: MGMT. I just downloaded this album about a month or so and really like it so far. Must be the hand claps. Not sure if I will still like it in another few months or will get sick of it but right now Erin approves.

Track 17: I am fairly certain this is Modest Mouse, a band who I never really got into. This song is like two years long but since I did not skip to the end I suppose that is a good thing.

Track 18: Pearl Jam - "Elderly Woman Behind a Counter in a Small Town". There are a few Pearl Jam songs that, due to my brother's Pearl Jam obsession and subsequent playing of bootleg after bootleg of theirs, I cannot really listen to anymore. This is one of them.

Track 19: I have no idea who this is, but I really like the song. The vocals remind me of....Hum? I don't know. They remind me of somebody.

Pretty good. Flowed pretty well and I liked the majority of it enough to at the very least not skip over it. I am really curious to see a track list though.

my review.. i will edit it tomorrow too, but this is just the first listen

I accidentally listened to track 10 after track 1, because winamp ordered them 'alphabetically', but anyway, I noticed the mistake, rearranged them and now i'm starting it again.

Track 1: very sweet and funny, no idea who this is, but it really made me smile

Track 2: this sounds like a cover, but listening to the lyrics more i think it's an original song, sounding like it's written in the 60s, but probably more recent than that. i like it.

Track 3: oh, his voice sounds very familiar. i've definitely heard it before, but i can't quite place it. i really like the 'hook' around the 1:30 mark :)

Track 4: neil young - piece of crap? haha..awesome

Track 5: another familiar voice, or maybe not. the twangy/bluesy guitars (+harmonica) are great and so is the beat.

Track 6: i love this song (once in a lifetime) :) and i think this live version is actually better than the one on the record. i don't know why i never listen to the talking heads more..

Track 7: very cool song. i don't know why my first thought was "how unexpected", but it fits very well within the mix. major shredding action :rockon:

Track 8: 13:57 - i'm wondering if this is mogwai or explosions. i guess i might as well find out. nope...it's less recent guitar gods. yes, this definitely fits better in the sequence of songs. and it feels like i should turn off the lights to enjoy this even more. very much up my alley :) i'm wondering if a certain _isgod made this mix.
the change in tempo at the 7 minute mark is just perfect and i also like the experimental sounding stuff that follows. up until the 9 minute mark; not so much into those sounds. but at least i'm not skipping to the next track.

Track 9: this guys really likes johnny. and i like his song too. makes me think of that johnny cash song about building a car one part at a time. makes me smile.

Track 10: i know this song from the juno soundtrack :) love it.

Track 11: i love her voice, i'm thinking i should recognize it from somewhere. but i definitely haven't head this song before. the glockenspiel (if that's what that is) is very pretty

Track 12: very sweet :) including the sappy orchestration... wait! is this michael jackson? it reminds me very much of harry nilsson.

Track 13: great idea to end with an instrumental track. i also really liked the gradual slow down at the end of the mix.


I really enjoyed listening to the mix. thank you for making it and i'd love to see the track listing too. i think i'm going to burn it on a cd and listen to it in my car sometimes. and i'll definitely give it a few more listens soon and come back and edit this.

i'm in

my review..

alright, she didnt die. yay!

tracklist:

1. Mona Lisa- Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (one of the most beautiful voices ever)

5. Trouble Everyday- Frank Zappa
6. Once in a Lifetime- Talking Heads
7. Look at Yourself- Uriah Heep
8. Butterfly Bleu- Iron Butterfly
9. Front Row Seat To Hear Ole Johnny Sing- Shel Silverstein
10. The Stone the Builder Refused- this song was done by friends of mine and recorded and arranged by me. is it a cover of another song? i have no idea. i was under the impression they wrote it. we recorded this in 2006 or so. i love the song, regardless
11. The Cherokee Ballad- Rhiannon Rae (also recorded and mixed here in my studio. that sound is my fender rhodes. the 'swish swish' sound to the beat is my sole musical contribution to this song- a broom.)
12. Smile- Michael Jackson
13. First Star- Justin Adams

i first heard this at the end of finding forester. after i heard it in the credits i dl'd it.

I think I first heard it at the end of an episode of Cold Case. :erm:

man most of these are pretty awful

are you sure?
