OK, so we all do mixtapes/CDs. But if one of those offers came in to make the one and only 'generally available' defining CD mixes, what would you make of it?

It needs to be something you'd stand by totally for at least six months, and something you were still happy to be known by in perpetuity... 80 mins, all licensing sorted, lets rock (or not).

should it be themed or not?

God, that really is the most Nick Soutall compilation ever.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Monday, 10 May 2004 13:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Ok.

No theme, just me.

Under the influence of Dog Latin:

Bob Drake - Fearsome Heads

Tenor Saw - Golden Hen
Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough (Schizophrenic Mix)
Autechre - Arch Carrier
Stephen Malkmus - Do Not Feed The Oyster

The Beach Boys - I'm So Young
Man Parrish - Hip Hop Be Bop (Don't Stop)
Boo Radleys - Blues For George Michael
Autofire - Succotash Wish
Arcturus - For to End Yet Again

That sums things up, even if it is a bit hotch-potch. I was going to submit a mix I made the other day but I'll probably hate it soon anyway. This is about as Dog Latin as it gets though.

CDR80 - What kinda stuff? Explain your taste in one CD

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 10 May 2004 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

you have to check the tracks "don't take ecstasy", "where is claire", "pancreas" and "the reefer song". but "fuck off" is definitely an ethereal entity unto itself.

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 10 May 2004 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Great idea. I got the Under the influence of: Morrissey, and it is very good, lots of obscure stuff (at least for me).

Of course i will make one real mixcd like that.

Lynskey - did µ-ziq actually have a track called "Royal Astronomy"? I thought that was the album. What album is that Squarepusher track from? Oh and that Notwist tune is ace. I should've put "Pilot" on my list since it is a generic Dog Latin tune, heheh.

― don (don), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I really have no earthly idea why "Music Response" is my go-to Chemicals track 4 times out of 5. It could be the whole "oh wow Tom and Ed are doing some sort of Timbaland homage" feel or the fact that it just builds and builds and builds really fanfuckingtastically in a big hell-funk robot pop way ("Block Rockin' Beats":"Jungle Boogie"::"Music Response":"Cosmic Slop") or that it just has that blatant retrofuturism that kids love (macro-Kraftwerk?). But oh man I cannot front on "Piku".

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Of course for the analogy to truly work there has to exist a live version of "Music Response" that, like the version of "Cosmic Slop" on Hardcore Jollies, INCINERATES EVERYTHING ON CONTACT.

This will of course miss whole genres, artists and songs I dearly love (no early 80s pop! no Aphex Twin or Bonzo Dog Band and very sadly no "A Country Practice" by Half Man Half Biscuit). I've chosen a few short things, to cover more ground, which is a good tactic. :) There are some musical/lyrical links and contrasts in the running order, as well as very personal resonance to the choices.

Begs2Differ: Well, it's the sort of stunning curtain opener I wanted, and is an instrumental too.

Elvis Is Dead: Don't miss 'A House is not a Home'; I had to have some Bacharach/David, and this is a fine version; lavish soul with hovering harps and strings. Would go nicely into the Smokey...

I've not heard all of them in this order, admittedly... but I gave a lot of thought to the ordering, and of course, know all the material well. Though the Hammill and Public Enemy ones are things I've heard fairly recently, but been sufficiently blown away by to include.
J.C. Clarke and Public Enemy could be quite an inventive contrast; Mancunian poetry to a beat, and New York rapping: both very bleak numbers.
Al Bowlly and Stanshall is quite a nice one, as VS is a rare 60s generation artist to be influenced by 20s/30s crooning, of which Bowlly is the *master*. "Couldn't Be Cuter" is the most smashing trad. jazz *song* I've ever heard; the vintage, ebullient band performance invests a very fine song with *so much more*, as does Bowlly's calm urbanity - stirred more than usual by the fiery band and jocular backing vocalists. "The Cracks Are Showing" is about the most economical use of 46 seconds I have heard.

Malcolm Clarke > Eno might just be very affecting too... Including some Radiophonic Workshop was a must, and this brief bit - for Dr Who - from 1972 makes a good bridge between Meek and Eno.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 01:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Just a few comments about people's comps:

Excellent mix, Roxymuzak. Rather reminds me I'd have liked Blur's 'To The End' in there, somewhere...

I like Nate's O Jays > Ghostface Killah; two great songs those, and I sense a fluid mix.

I imagine Tim Finney's being a fine overall sequence; Smiths and Sundays into Britney Spears is really *ILX* par excellence. ;) I was sad not to be able to include some pop hit of recent years, but priorities won out: i.e. more unusual and personal choices I wanted.

Nick Southall's; 'It's A Kid's World': what a rampaging ditty! And the other entry along with Malcolm Clarke that includes Dr Who music; in that case Peter Howell's version of the theme is sampled near the end.

Mark Grout's is nicely UK-centric. Is the Peel "Story of the Blues" even better than the record? And presumably including the spoke monologue? I myself was close to putting "Me, Myself and I" in, too.

Scott Seward's intrigues as I've barely heard *any* of those tracks, and it looks very wide-ranging genre-wise.

Overall; I'd love to hear some of these on CD...
Wherefore a 'Under the Influence of The Pinefox', also...? :) Or Robin C. or Momus, for example? Would be interesting to see plenty more of these.

― Tom May (Tom May), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 01:36 (twenty-one years ago)

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 07:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, Tom May: The peel session "Story of the blues" is more sixties-centric, and no It doesn't have the monologue, but it's still trez cool. A good portion of the first half comes from already existing mixtapes, and then to off the top of my head stuff. (That Wah track being one of them, I was like OMG WTF Where did that come from, great!) (Another mixtape for the Ivor Cutler into De la soul. It just works, it just does)

Anyhow, I love that this thread is simmerring along nicely. Nothing worse than '99 new answers' to put you off looking at any, it's definitely carrying on in the spirit it was intended for. Laters...)

don't see the point of this at all, unless someone's paying me to do it. in which case i'd probably just do what all under the influence artists do, i.e. let sean rowley or whoever compile it and append my name to it without even looking through the track listing.

although that usually means at least ten tracks of dreary muscle shoalzzzz zzzzzzoul.....

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 12 May 2004 09:41 (twenty-one years ago)

That's a shame actually, as I was just thinking "I wonder what would be on Marcello's" seeing as we're both on ILM at the same time. Admittedly, you have a point but then it's a wonderful fantasy world where we the people get to make our own CDs. Being the sad kind of fuck that I am, I spent every third September 10th compiling my top 40 songs of all time - hey, next one is due this year actually, hadn't thought of that - so my compilation wasn't that hard to think about, just ordering it into some semblance of running order.

― Rob M (Rob M), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 09:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't yet have a cd burner so am still stuck with compiling old-style mixtapes. my other half does have one but i'm banned from using it.

i do compile mixtapes for work but i never attach any thematic import to them; just throw together whatever i'm listening to at the time.

though in my present state any mix CD would probably comprise four 15-20 minute tracks.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 12 May 2004 09:53 (twenty-one years ago)

and they'd all be tempoless.

That'll be Metal Machine Music, then.

Nice!

Is Daft Punk the most popular so far? I think so.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 13 May 2004 03:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it's between them and Britney and possibly Prince. I dropped 'Digital Love' and the third track from Homework from min.

Nr Snrub's mix of Sly and the Beasties works better if it's the end of 'Shadrach', but otherwise all good.

one month passes...

Ghostface Killah - "Gorilla Hood"

Holla!

― Lukas (lukas), Thursday, 17 June 2004 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

two months pass...

This was seen in a recentish NME, inbetween columns of live reviews/stuff..

"Anyway, introducing

The NME liiiistening Cluuub. Want to hear some good music? Of course you do. And you can, too. Just make a mix CD or a tape of songs you like and post it to liistening cluuub at the normal NME address. In return you will receive a letter from us explaining exactly what is wrong with your selections and another reader's mix in return. Like a kind of cassette swap fun club. Exciting, huh? All mixes must be in by Sept 14th."

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 06:42 (twenty-one years ago)

sounds stupid - unless they pick something they think the sender would like to receive in reply.

a better way of doing this would be to allow people to post their tracklists on the NME website, and then other people can request an exchange that way - even including mp3 CDRs...the BPI would doubtless furrow their brow but it happens anyway.

heh.. that 'listening club' got massively oversubscribed, and was quietly dropped.

Anyroad, for you long stayers amongst you, how have your tastes changed?

Is your "Mix CD" still OK, or a bit of an embarrassment?
