I made a mixtape but I don't have a blog now so what else was I supposed to do with it

making a tape full of your own favorite songs to give to your roommate to play in his jeep so you always get to hear what you like, classic or dud

(Oh yeah, michael burke i still intend to send a tape to ya!)

geeta: no but I think I have put a plan song on every tape I've made this year save for the sea and cake one that I made by just leaving 5 cds on shuffle and recording it.

jess: shut up you asswipe I was serious.

sequence: yes insofar as that's the way I wanted it. gotta put the things I think my roommate won't like as much in strategic places, of course.

Quite impressed by the Yo La Tengo cover version.

Since hearing Soulwax's 2 Many DJs CD I, however, have mix tape block.

Until I get my hands on software that allows me to have Salt 'n' Pepa singing over the Stooges or Skee-lo backed by the Breeders, my mix tapes will always be second best.

Therefore...

...you know where I'm going with this. Just... Sorry.

A:

Palace Music - The Brute Choir, Bedhead - Powder, The Dismemberment Plan - Superpowers, Dirty Three - I Remeber A Time When Once You Used To Love Me, Neutral Milk Hotel - Song Against Sex, Smog - I Was A Stranger, Low - Two-Step, Gastr del Sol - Black Horse, Sleater-Kinney - Get Up, Tom Waits - Downtown Train, Beatles - Revolution 9

B:

Massive Attack - Protection, The Avalanches - Electricity, The Herbaliser feat. Latryx - 8pt. Agenda, The Modernist - Abi '81, Mouse on Mars - Yippie, The Beta Band - Around the Bend, De La Soul - The Magic Number, Basement Jaxx - Just 1 Kiss, Arab Strap - Cherubs, Aphex Twin - i

(The first has 3, which is bad enough)

... er, no. I cannot tell a lie.

I closed the mix with Dio's Rainbow in the Dark, which I had heard before.

graham, as long as you put it that way then I am inclined to agree.

Im becoming convinced its my job to spread the love of Art Bergmans music around.

Favorite part of this mix: the part where it goes from "I'll come running to tie your shoes" to "Fucking kill her fucking kill her kill her already kill her," etc.

barbara morgenstern, "ohne abstand"
junior boys, "last exit"
vitalic, "the past"
ghost cauldron, "ambient skit (s.pitcher rmx)"
the soft pink truth, "confession"
junior boys, "last exit (fennesz rmx)"
imogen heap, "hide & seek"

(probly also my most shameful internet-related shenanigan somehow)

but you can w.no reproach use it as second and penultimate

or have the tracks seperated by a ratio of 8:5, I think

erm i should clarify this was probably a well-ensconced 3rd datey tape; i'm not so jovial on a 1st, naturally.

You put the JB TWICE on it! Maybe replace with some Cagedbaby? :-)

It is entitled: To Maria, With Love, Scott

I taped it on a Sony CD IT 90-minute high bias tape that I bought at a yard-sale.

hardcore cornography!!

why not?

gf mixes are pretty different to potential-gf mixes, aren't they? I wonder what guess-rate I could hit on a blind listening test.

with tapes, i likes the freedom to use 'bits' of records, but, being an IT dunce, i don't know how to do this, when burning CDs.

the rules are there to be fucked, cozen.

xpost 'can i have it like that'?

the second one I can get with; and so the first I can't

am I being too oblique here? I feel I am

I am meaning, with software.

superheroes of bmx instead maybe? or what?

Mixtapes go web 2.0: http://muxtape.com/

I can't tell how it flows without hearing it, but any mix that ends with "I Wish" and has The Sea and Cake on it is okay by me.

fixed. This is much better anyway. I need constraints to flourish.

(I still used two songs from the latin jazz volume of the GTA Vice City soundtrack, but I won't tell if you won't. That disc is so awesome.)
