Can We Do A Mixtape trade?

[scottjh]

Not sure where this stands, but I'd be up for it. I've been putting together themed mix cds with my Facebook friends.

[tinnitus photography]

Mix For The VC Nation

[Synthesizer Patel]

here's mine too then, if nobody is captaining this thread any more.

 

All Lift Your Voice, and Rejoice

the theme of the mix, if you can't guess, is that all the tracks have interesting vocals. sometimes more than 1 lead, sometimes the voice is used as an instrument, sometimes it's just some interesting oooing and ahhhing.

[Love Boat Captain]

May be a little late, as we are almost 1/3 of the way through 2010, but here's a "Best of '09" mix from a loose collective of i-friends that covers all genres. In addition to 3 discs of music, there is another set of about 40 overflow songs that "just didn't fit this mix" that are contained in the second link if interested.

 

Hope you enjoy and find some new things!

My mix is ready. The original theme was to make something upbeat and uplifting, but as I had to piece it together in dribs and drabs (and it shows!) that goal flew out of the window. However, if at least one song doesn't put a smile across your face then I've failed my just-this-minute-invented mission.

2. Sparks – The Number One Song In Heaven

3. Hot Chip - Take It In

20. R.D. Burman – Love/Pain Is A Many Splendoured Thing

21. Aphrodite’s Child - Break

 

 

On another note, this thread looks to have died on its arse. Which is a shame because, for me, it became a dependable source of opening my ears to music (and good music at that) I would never have otherwise stumbled upon. If it's to carry on, can we bring back the pairing up? At least that kept a dialogue between all the participants going.

[tinnitus photography]

i totally admit to dropping the ball...been super busy, but i can likely pull together a mix (maybe not the most cohesive one) and post it this weekend, along w/ downloading others' and listening to them.

[cooperissup3r]

YouTube is a banned site here so I can't see your links. I wouldn't bet against you poking a bit of fun at the contents of track 4, though, and that (quality control? mullets?) being the 'reason' it wouldn't extract/got corrupt.

 

If it really is corrupt...... Oh bum, sorry for the wonky file.

no, it really is corrupt. but, the links are a joke and are to some sketches from Big Train - where Hall & Oates are trying to clean up a council tower block estate. don't know if you've ever seen it - it's funny.

[m_thomp]

I have seen Big Train but it was at the time of airing (1998/9?) and my memory isn't that great.

 

Willing to re-up the mix, and also I've got another mix ready to go. This one's unmixed, but this time it does have a theme: shit-hot rhythm tracks. It's a bit on the short side at the moment, so, as far as mixtapes go, it's more C60 than C90.

 

Final mixtape thoughts for the day: I remember ages ago, around the time that I first joined VC, there was a thread set-up, similar to this mixtape one, that revolved around people requesting a mixtape by a certain artist or genre. Volunteers would then nominate themselves to provide a primer/fan's guide compilation. This used to be excellent as it often side-stepped radio fodder, monster hits and general received wisdom in favour of a fan's eye view of what makes a band, artist or genre great. It gave me in-roads into Neil Young back catalogue, who at the time I just thought was a reedy unwashed spliff-bucket based on one half-heard listen through Harvest. It would be great if we could kick that off again.

 

In fact, it probably deserves a thread of its own.

don't worry about re-upping it just for one track. but, i will like to download this new one you've got finished.

 

i think a thread with mixes of bands/people or even genres that people aren't too sure about would be great. someone should set it up. hint hint.
