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.

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.

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 6. i like how you put this harder one after 2 songs of girls singing. this ones alright, i mostly like the guitar sounds.

track 7. donnie darko shit. pretty cool 80's track.

track 8. smiths. not bad.

track 9. this is some punk some i dn. didnt really like it. the pre-chorus is pretty cool tho.

track 10. chillin.

track 11. interesting, 1 minute long but its telling me to move on and get under the sun. i kinda wish it were a full length.

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 15 soft guitar/piano ballad with this dist. guitar lead on top of most of it doing some nice solo stuff. this one is great.

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

track 17. heads will roll. wicked.

track 18. brings me back. sound garden.

track 19. very cool.

track 20. starts really dreamy then i love how it goes fucken ballistic at the end.

track 21. this is ok. would be better if a band kicked in.

haha. the files were labeled in the right order but then the labels in winamp had them reversed (track 23 was track 22 and track 22 was track 23) so i put them how the labels were thinkgin that was the right way... ah well. thanks for the mix. do you have the playlist? mine is bunk now because of the .wma issue.

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

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.
