So, are you all ready for another mix exchange yet?

[waltermcphilp]

i would assume yes. i use it mainly to change old wma files into mp3 so i am not entirely sure.

[pale blue eyes]

I remember coming across some program that could remove the DMR or whatever they call it that prevents you from sharing the songs but my PC crashed and then I couldn't find the link again.

[bja1288]

did you send my mix out pbe? just wondering cuz its been a while

If your recipient's name is crossed off, then they have been sent their mix.

No.
It works great with M4As, but it won't play converted M4Ps.
Damndamndamn.

[waltermcphilp]

sorry dawg.

[pale blue eyes]

The first post is now up to date as far as who has received their mix. If you have sent me your mix and your recipient has not been crossed off, please send me a PM. There are still thirteen people who need to send me a mix by Monday. If you are one of these people, PLEASE let me know if you think your mix will be late. I'd much rather know that's it is going to be late than to send you fifteen bitchy PMs until you respond.

[Mo]

I don't care if my mix is late - I don't wanna know how my mix-guy is as long as I haven't heard it.

[christian zombie vampires]

typing these after hearing them for the 1st time:
track 1 - wow. this is like wilco covering some oldie i've never heard that's better than any of their songs!?
track 2 - might as well be the shins if it ain't. doesn't stand out as much
track 3 - this songs screams out JUNO every second
track 4 - hahaha. well looks like i officially have been given a twee/lo fi mix. this song has some life to it musically but breathy quiet vocals dont do much for me
track 5 - is this from elephant 6? not bad. but like all of that stuff it's like why not just listen to the animals or ten days after.
track 6,7,8 - nice enough
track 9 - now this is awesome. ive never really heard anything like this even though its super simple. and im a sucker for backwards stuff.
track 10 - meh
tracks 11, 12 and 13 - these are nice but really drift by
track 14 - love the shoegazeness
track 15 - this was a great unexpected kick after the last 6 tracks
track 16 - yes!! fuck this is a perfect song and an orgasmic performance. ive only heard this version once before, kudos!
and now the netphoria xmas song came up next on itunes, perfect. well that was a promising first listen... im not a huge lo fi or twee fan... objectively speaking that's not a big deal but it still could have used more variety. although i like a handful of artists like the ones on here i only recognize the one last track, so there's some i'll be checking out for sure.

[Shapan]

i made that mix, im glad you enjoyed it. i was going through some of your posts and threads and saw that we had a lot in common, and then i started putting together a mix. the last mix i had on here and a couple of others i did were all over the place, and i guess one of the things missing was steady flow, so as i started picking off songs i decided to keep a steadier flow rather than make it bounce around. but of course its a double-edged sword because then there wouldnt be enough variety, which i suppose hurt this mix. rather than give you a stream of bouncy fast songs, some you were more likely to have heard, i decided to go in the other direction by having it start off with some lo-fi and pop and settle to the mellow vibe. and of course i wanted to close the mix with an under appreciated gem by a band both of us love.

if you're more interested in any of these artists ill happily upload you some albums by whoever

here's the link for others and tracklisting:

7. the olivia tremor control - no growing (exegesis) - music from the unrealized film script, dusk at cubist castle (tracks 5-7 were from elephant 6 bands)
8. little wings - sandbar - light green leaves
9. john frusciante - untitled #2 - niandra lades & usually just a t-shirt (this is really two albums that accompany each other, and if you like this track you'll probably like the usually just a t-shirt portion a lot)
10. department of eagles - phantom other - in ear park
11. grouper - heavy water/id rather be sleeping - dragging a dead deer up a hill
12. yeasayer - ah, weir - all hour cymbals

wanna up something, shapan? shoegaze being the magic word, i looked up some songs and they sound really nice.

[The New]

here is my review which i hope does justice to the effort the person put into making this mix. i just wrote this out as i listened and didn't go back over it second guessing. it was a fun experience to listen to it and there's a few artists i'd like to check out some more.

01 - interesting. at first it kinda reminded me of modest mouse. very dynamic. really like this.
02 - guitars sound like a pearl jam song, spin the black circle maybe i'm thinking of? ok song.
03 - gotta love a double bass. not really my bag though, these days.
04 - like the tempo of this and the guitar sound.
05 - i laughed, a lot. nice one
06 - i love the xylophone or whatever it is, but the singer kind of got on my nerves.
07 - loved the music right from the start, but didn't like the vocals intially. they quickly grew on me though. this is seriously good.
08 - at first i thought, oh a nice quiet acoustic one, that's more to my liking these days, but it expanded to much more. i thought it came together really well and i quite enjoyed it.
09 - hmm... i like the production on this one. lot's going on and by 3 minutes in i was right into it, didn't want it to end.
10 - might sound strange, but i pictured myself sitting down to a nice meal and listening to this, except for the fact that the lyrics would kind of distract me from the meal. so i guess as an instrumental in would be great in that setting. overall an enjoyable listen.
11 - ben kweller - my apartment, nice choice!
12 - a dylan song i'm not familiar with (ashamed to say). great!
13 - one word - tight!
14 - can't think of much to say about this one. i loved the intro.
15 - kinda catchy...not really digging it though
16 - this just sounds really good. love the fiddle or whatever it is. keen to know who it is, but i'm going to refrain from googling.
17 - like the drums on this and the vocalist. repeated it a few times. it sounds familiar, maybe i've heard it already...
18 - ready please, mr music
19 - absolutely love the guitar, who the hell is this?
20 - sweet sound, if this isn't an old song, it sure sounds like it. nice
21 - see 18
22 - ok, i laughed. not a bad way to end it.

[spring]

i got mine a while ago and i just downloaded it (sorry i've been out of town).

i'll post a review as soon as i listen to it.

i'm glad you enjoyed the majority of the mix. i tried to make this one a little less serious than the last time we did this. i have the albums for all the tracks i put on your mix (except for The Kingston Trio song), and sometimes more, so if you want anything, i'd be more than happy to upload them.

you should post the link to the mix.

i'm especially glad you dug the Apartment track. that whole album (along with some b-sides) are really solid and it's probably my favorite album of last year. The English Beat (which later on became Fine Young Cannibals) is one of the first bands i ever listened to. my dad had a cassette of them and Oingo Boingo that i listened to all the time when i was in 3rd grade. The Dandy Warhols' song is from their new record. i'm seeing them for the first time (after being in to them for over 10 years) on the 22nd, so i had to put a track of theirs on here, and that one always makes me laugh.

some of the artists i'm still kinda new to. here's some youtube vids that got me into some of them.

Andrew Bird


Ben Kweller


Midlake

[noyen]

i hope i get one

[Mo]

Yeah, it's the 15th already

[pale blue eyes]

here's my review after a listen

track 1 - short little distorted guitar ditty. not a bad way to start a mix.
track 2 - oooh this is fun. starts off dark and gets really fast and glitchy. holy crap like a loud scream right there, really digging this. kinda settles during the second half
track 3 - this one's like 10 minutes long, so i might as well get settled. geetar is wailing, makes it sound like a reaaal epic. pretty cool, all this feels like intense buildup. the little guitar interlude here 3 or so mins in is nice. some reverbed screams at the end. this song is a little long..
track 4 - awesome intro, reminiscent of minus the bear. now its mellow, now its picking up again. pretty cool.
track 5 - really sparse until about 4 minutes into the song. i like the transition right here, right when i was going to give up on it it picked up a bit. after all the spacing out the end of this track was a healthy change.
track 6 - and more spacey geetar. these vocals remind me of alice in chains.. probably a 90s band here? favorite song off the mix so far.
track 7 - this track rocks out more than any song on the mix so far, and im glad. dude is pissed in this song. feels like another throwback on the mix. pretty heavy.
track 8 - hm, this sounds like mark lanegan. maybe im just getting nostalgic. i need to listen to more of lanegan's stuff even if this isnt him. loving this song.
track 9 - this song is shaping up a lot better than that other 10 minute song. i like this song, who is this?
track 10 - i dig this. came and went but i like it still. some eastern influence.
track 11 - fun enough
track 12 - breezes through
track 13 - this song's called chewbacca. not much else to notice here.
track 14 - haha this evil voice can't help but make me chuckle. i like the instrumentation. here come the hardcore vocals. to be honest, i just dont like these screamy metal vocals, even though this is an interesting change.
track 15 - kind of a sparse little jazzy jingle. i just imagine a small little band in a club thats practically empty playing this song. about 9 minutes long, nothing really grabs me here.
track 16 - bouncy techno beat to start off this closer. more metal screaming. and now it's over! interesting pick for a closer.

overall: there was some variety in here, and there's lot of stuff id want to check out. i didnt really recognize anything. some of the material wasnt my cup of tea but it interested me nonetheless, and there are a few songs that definitely hit the spot. definitely enjoyed 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9. repeated listens will probably help along some of those spacey tracks. thanks to the mix maker.

[spring]

here we go

1 - very cool instrumental. dig the violin a lot. is this final fantasy?
2 - beatles-like guitars. sounds like a 'beatles-in-the-90s' band. i like it
3 - the intro is atmospheric and very pretty. i really feel that i should know the name of this song or at least identify the band. i love it. i recognize the vocals / style. i want to say GBV but maybe not. awesome song.
4 - nice shoegazy track. again i think i recognize the vocals.
5 - i love this as well. it gives me a 60s feeling too, and it's very much up my alley.
6 - this also sounds like guided by voices to me. i love the guitars and all the layered vocals. and how it gets loud at 1:30 and then quiet and loud again.
7 - really cool beats / effects. i like it a lot. is this casiotone for the painfully alone by any chance?
8 - this is good and rockin'. if this is a current band, they're huge led zep & 70s fans
9 - nice cut copy song
10 - this still had the tag on, so i didn't have to guess. good song though
11 - very interesting intro and the percussion is pretty awesome. the song fits very well with the theme of the mix, i guess. indie-strong, yay! i really really like the vocals too. very pretty.
12 - one of my favourite songs (ever) october all over. cool that i finally really know a song on this mix
13 - i like how it starts all happy & simple and builds up. glockenspiel!
14 - good song to end on. it helps that it's so quiet in my room now and i can hear crickets through my window which adds on to the mood. his voice sounds very familiar too, and i feel pretty bad for not being able to place it, just like with the others..



great mix! i really enjoyed it and i think it had a lot of great new stuff on it that i have been meaning to hear for a while. thank you so much!!
