So instead of just posting up a list of songs for others to check-out, I figured I would make you people a mix tape. Just like the ones we made back in the 80's on busted ass cassette's.

Soooooo grab a few of your favorites and zip em up so we can enjoy them.
Since this is in the "Other Music" forum, you can't put any Smiths or Moz on your mix. As for mine, I tried to make it a mix of new & older stuff, but also picked tracks that were obscure or things that the normal Joe will have never listened to but at the same time that I felt were good enough to be included on a mix. Let me know what you think, and I look forward to seeing what you all post up.

Enjoy....

Great idea for a thread Boy Racer. I used to make mix tapes all the time but not since I got an mp3 player. And mix CD's aren't the same!

I think it can be hard to make a great mix tape. Should it flow or should it be a total mix of styles genres etc. In the end, it goes down to the tracks selected. I'll post something shortly. Hopefully a few other members will too, it coulb be a great insight into everyones tastes!
:)

Also, top marks for including a track from the Desaparecidos faultless album!:)

Glad you liked it.

As for setting up your mix.... I think the content is more important than placement, though i fondly remember sitting around for hours planning song placement for that mix tape that with any bit of luck would end up playing up front in the auto as I would be in the back. hehehehehehe

I did not do placement on mine that i posted, mostly because unless I went back and numbered the tracks into position it wasn't gonna happen (I'm lazy like that). So just go with something you think would be cool enough to make the cut.

As for that song "Greater Omaha" ... best one on that disc. hehehehehe

P.S. For everyone else, should you find something on my mix that your interested in getting full copies of, just ask, and I will get you squared away.

XOXOXO

Great idea guys I used to work reg nights and often made mix CD (mp3) to play the full length of shift just to annoy the other two guys I worked with HA HA I will gett one together and post it ASAP.
Graham

'Tis a good idea. Particularly enjoyed the PIL one. I'll bung one up tomorrow. Really excited about a gadget I'm getting, that will widen my collection. I saw a music centre advertised yesterday that doesn't require a computer, but you put vinyl album on the turntable, and it converts it directly to MP3 for loading on your player or memory card, no computer required. I'm off to delve in the loft to get all that melodic hardcore out now (Leatherface, Drive, Snuff....)

I really think mixtapes show us what frame of mind the maker is/was in when they were made. I have made numerous for work (see above) and I can listen back and think wow I must have been P***** off at that time or WOW thats a happy sounding bunch of tunes so see if you can decied what mood I am in listening to these tracks HA HA HA HA...............................:D

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0FHZCOKN

Just a small point would it be wise to try and make the mixtapes so they fit on a cd....... ie 80mins

Agreed.

Working a second one for you guys now.

This is turning out well thus far with just the 3 of us up to this point. There is some stuff on those that I have not heard before, and/or haven't gotten around to checking out. Which in reality was the purpose of starting the thread...... to see what others are listening to that I may or may not be missing out on.

Have another for ya shortly.


BR

Good point....or 90 mins for those of us who favoured C90!

I've often thought that when looking back at past mixes: "Ooh, I must have been fun to be around when I made THAT tape...."

Looking forward to your mix Grahma, especially Rhythm is a Dancer! \m/ :)

Note: There should be a 'house' emoticon with white gloves and a whistle

who will be the first to put.............. BOW WOW WOW C30 C60 C90 on ha ha

who will be the first to put.............. BOW WOW WOW C30 C60 C90 on ha ha

Or, less known, but just as suitable: 'On Tape' - The Pooh Sticks

And, just to mix it up a little bit....

A "Covers" mix from the depths of portable hard-drives.

BR

I didn't have the time to make a full mix for someone recently, so instead I made this quick 3 track EP so she could listen to something on the drive home. It has a sleepy, semi-hypnotic feel. (minus the cutesy first track)

1. Bow Wow Wow - Fools Rush In (cover)
2. Suicide - Cheree
3. Moondog - Pastoral

Hope you listen!

Boy Racer,
Thank you for the mixtapes!
It's a forgotten art!
Did you see on MySpace about that company where you can trade tapes, etc? I think it's under International Mixtape Project.

If you check my myspace, spooky84, you'll find it there.

cheers.

PS: Do you do mixtapes for others on a regular basis? I do.

I received two wonderful compilations via the International Mixtape Project.

Hey Dallow_bg,

You did? What were they?

Hey, add me to your "friends" list if you'd like.

Hey, hope nobody minds if I join in this little share-party. I've knocked up a "mood" mix tape: this one's full of sad, weepy ballads that is perfect for late night, slightly depressed listening. Some of the stuff on here's not all that tyrendy, but - akk! - who cares, right?

BTW, tracks 17 and 18 are just so gorgeous it hurts!

1. Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen We are Floating In Space
2. Ben Folds Five - Brick
3. Get Up Kids - Valentine
4. The Pipettes - Because It's Not Love
5. Smoking Popes - Megan
6. Third Eye Blind - The Background
7. The Dears - We Can Have It
8. The Thrills - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
9. Bruce Springsteen - The River
10. Regina Spektor - Samson
11. Manic Street Preachers - Love Torn Us Under
12. Sia - Paranoid Android
13. Art Garfunkel - All I Know
14. Roxy Music - A Song For Europe
15. Rufus Wainwright - This Love Affair
16. Weezer - I Do
17. The Decemberists - Grace Cathedral Hill
18. Youth Group - Forever Young
19. The Beach Boys - Caroline, No

You've done it again, Boy Racer!!!!!
Much obliged for this!!! :)

thx BoyRacer
those are some great uploads :)

Yeh cheers... loving the sad songs mix tape....the version of Paranoid android is completely despairing. (In a despairing way ie not crap!)
Making a Radiohead song sound even more depressing has to be a miacle of modern science!

I was walking to the shop last night listening to it and had to move on. MOVE ON. Too much for my new man sensibilities.

Looks a good mix Slightly Afraid, downloading now. Did anyone download my mix?:( ;)

Enjoy :D

Oh, I miss mix tapes so much! I used to be unbelievably anal ratentive about making them, I would make a list of the songs with the time the song lasted for on the side so I could add it all up and ensure I never cut off a song half way through. If the times wern't on the cd, I used to lie on the floor and time the songs on my cd player. Yes, i am serious. I used to view my mix tapes as a part of me, design the sleeve and post them to my friends. The rules:
1) only 1 song per artist per side.
2) If you had a band featuring a singer and wanted to put on their solo work, you had to leave a 3 song gap between (at least)
3) The tape had to have a 'mood' and a 'flow'

.....OCD? Me? Never (not that it is a bad thing)

I really want to take part in this, but I am a country bumpkin with computers, how do i file share and upload this stuff?

Oh, you could be ME!!! I find the tracks on computer, copy and paste them all into a zip folder and upload it using sendspace.com

Right, i really am a total idiot with this stuff. The tracks are on computer. How do i copy and paste them into a zip folder?

Right, i really am a total idiot with this stuff. The tracks are on computer. How do i copy and paste them into a zip folder?

You just need to stick the tracks in a normal folder

then use Winrar (right click on the folder, click add to archive the icon looks like a set of books) and then just click o.k when the winrar thing pops up


if you haven't got winrar i could find a full version for you maybe or just use a trial version just google winrar

Thanks, I'll have a look when I get home! As I say, i am an idiot about this stuff!

sooooooooo true

nice to see this thread getting some more attention:)

A request for any of the mix tape crew:

Could someone make a mix for my walk to work in the morning? It takes me 45-50 minutes, so about the length would be ace! I wait with baited breath!

That Paranoid Android song... ooh it made me shudder early coming back from the Co-op. Stoned. And tears welled up.

Brilliant!!!

Thanks to veryone. I'll give it a go one day but I find it hard enough to type and put stuff on my I-pod. Luddite:)

To everyone who posted up a mix...thank you. That has been some great flashbacks as well as some decent introductions to songs I have not given a listen to before.... for that I thank you.

Great thread. Been a while since I made a mixtape, but this is nice, less pressure to get a set amount of people involved.

gettin it now...i may have a counter mix to post shortly.

BR

Here's the mix I've been 'working' (arf) on lately, made for a pal who wanted something to play loud and jump about to:

Musically Upbeat Mix (http://www.sendspace.com/file/43xbwu)

My tracklisting:

Walking Barefoot - Ash ...One of the great power pop bands IMHO, a great, bursting intro gives way to an ideal piece of pop to make you smile

Undone (The Sweater Song) - Weezer ...Straight into a track by a band influentual on the previous group, sad and euphoric at the saem time, especially, 'woo hoo hoo' coda

Velouria - Pixies ... Current fave Pixies track, love the keening, soulful verses

The One - Foo Fighters ...More big, dumb rock from Dave Grohl, who should be too old to be writing lyrics like this but its a great bounce along track

Take Me To The Riot - Stars ...amazing standout from the Canadians dramatic new album. Vocals reminiscent of Moz

Israel's Son - Silverchair ...Don't know much about this one, included simply because it's a favourite of the person the mix is made for. Frantic, rock-out at the end

Heinrich Manouver - Interpol ...Who cares about the 'oblique' lyrics when the musis is so dynamic?

Never Let Me Down Again - Depeche Mode ...Probably doesn't need to be introduced to folk on here. Majestic

New Years - Asobi Seksu - Like a punch-up in a candyfloss shop. Thumping, shoegazing pop, full of vocal hooks

Taste The Last Girl - Sons And Daughters ...A Smiths-like standout from the groups excellent last album

Giddy Stratospheres - Long Blondes ...Danceable pop imploring it's subject to dump their boring partner who won't let them take them on all fours again. Cue dancing round the living room

I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You - Black Kids ...Couldn't resist a song with a title like that and glad I didn't. Great lyrics and a chorus to shout.

Standing In The Way Of Control - The Gossip ...Opinions on Beth Ditto aside, she has a great voice and this is great pop

Beating Heart Baby - Head Automatic ...More danceable rock pop, anyone familiar with Daryl's band Glassjaw may well be surprised by this track

Black Minds White Lies - Salty Pirates ...Came across the track on "The Kids At The Club", an indiepop collection. The band are from Sweden and this track is structured to incite euphoria by the second time the chorus explodes

Take The Skinheads Bowling - Camper Van Beethoven ...Found out about this track after it was covered by the Manics, surreal lyrics and great chorus

Shakespeares Sister - The Smiths :)

Perfect - Fairground Attraction ...Thought this would sound good coming after Shakes, same kind of 'vibe', can't fail to smile

Valerie (Zutons Cover) - Mark Ronson/Amy Winehouse ...again, opinions aside, Amy could sing Matchbook fuckin 20 tracks and make them appealing. Great production, 100 times better than the original

Lovefool (Cardigans Cover) - Just Jack ...Surprisingly good cover of (IMHO) a sickly sweet original

For Reasons Unknown - The Killers ...some bombast to finish with, my new fave of theirs. Think Morrissey would sound great singing this.

If you download this, let me know what you think!:)

Did anyone download my mix?!:)

Great idea for a thread. I've got some downloading to do.

wow, thx I guess, but I see you use the whole range of 5 all the way to 1 :eek:
Whereas I almost never rate anything with less than a 3, even if I don't like it :thumb:
I mean, somebody does like it, don't they, thats good enough for me :lbf:
moving on, I have rated motorways's 2nd offering:

"hp3" :popcorn:

It's the unreleased songs from Brazilian band called Aborto Elétrico.

http://www.abortoeletrico.hpg.com.br/mp3.htm

They were formed in 78 and end up in 82 when Renato Russo left the band. Their songs was played by Legião Urbana - Russo's band - and Capital Inicial - Fê and Flávio Lemos' band - that goes on today.

Russo died in 96.
