Mixtapes

SailSail
edited June 2010 in Art!
Post themed music mixes you've made here. Remember to tag or rename the individual songs properly so that we know what order to listen to them in. Upload the mix to Mediafire and link to them when you're done. I don't know if it's necessary to use the code tags to post the URLs, but if you're paranoid, go for it.

Alternatively, you can use 8tracks or any other number of sites that do the same thing to share your mixes.

    Man, I have dozens of carefully constructed mix tapes that I would master with my dubber throughout middle and high school. Almost all of them are lost to time, but I believe I have mp3s I recorded (back from the tapes and in a few cases the CDs) for at least a handful.

    Digging out must commence. I used to obsess over the flow of the tape, and I wager between planning the playlist and mastering the tape, I would spend about four hours per side, not counting the actual dubbing.

    A thrown together 8track of upbeat music called "Cheer Up, Fred!"

    There needs to be an 8Tracks with a lot of music on it. None of the songs I want to use are on there, so I have to go find and download each one, then upload it to 8Tracks. That just seems silly.

    I'm going to use Mediafire, so you lovable bastards can have my mix for your archives if you so choose.

    I'll take requests, since I'm not working on a tape right now.

    So far is quite good. I've heard a lot of this since I started listening to Triple J.

    I was doing stuff like that all the time for a while. Most of the mixes are lost, along with some hard drives and a handful of CDRs, but I think I'll start making them again. In the mean time, here's something that isn't quite so well thought out.

    Why haven't I been listening to Cool Calm Pete like...forever? @_@

    He's pretty great. You should get your mitts on Mechanical Royalty, The Clock Song in particular.

    Convinced myself to ask out a girl all too cool for me who for reasons unknown seems to enjoy my presence. A mixtape is being made to keep in reserve for when it's needed. Current list (this took 3.25 hours; I'm obsessing over flow):

    1) First Day of My Life -- Bright Eyes
    2) Temptation of Adam -- Josh Ritter
    3) The Dress Looks Nice On You -- Sufjan Stevens
    4) Me Gustas Tú -- Manu Chao
    5) The Only One -- The Black Keys
    6) Love Athena -- The Olivia Tremor Control

    Wait, is this a mix to give her? Or just for yourself?

    1) First Day of My Life -- Bright Eyes
    This is on every goddamn lovey-dovey playlist I've made since I was 15.

    Me too. I haven't completed a tape since it was made, though.

    Because it's perfect. Sack up and admit it.

    Of course it is! I put it on every goddamn lovey-dovey playlist to this day.

    I'm doing a mixtape exchange thingy on another forum, so I'll post whatever I make here once I actually make it.

    I also like that its one of the few Bright Eyes songs with happiness to it. Hell, the first song on that album is a jaunty tune about a plane crash.

    As of yet uncertain. I've known her for a while running. Things got in the way. It's a long story, but it's not like I met this person yesterday. Suffice it to say I'm not dumb enough to hand such a charged mix to someone without taking them to dinner a few times.

    It's like Evie Part 3 - It's a catchy, upbeat rock song, about the guy's wife(And possibly child, it's not really clear) dying in childbirth.

    I actually found that song mainly because I was on an OTC kick after you mentioned that you had been listening to them. Thanks for that.

    You've listened to Circulatory System, right?

    Nope. I take it I should?

    It's William Cullen Hart's current band. Basically the spiritual successor to Black Foliage. Get the album Signal Morning.
