Under The Influence of : You

No theme, just me.

Under the influence of Dog Latin:

Bob Drake - Fearsome Heads
Marc Smith vs Safe'n'Sound: Identify The Beat
Tenor Saw - Golden Hen
Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough (Schizophrenic Mix)
Autechre - Arch Carrier
Stephen Malkmus - Do Not Feed The Oyster
Johnny Clarke - None Shall Escape The Judgement
Coba - After Dinner (Plaid Mix)
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
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.

And why yes "Get Yr Snack On" rocks, it's one of my favoritest tracks EVAR. Hence its inclusion.

These mixes all look great! xpost WOAH HIGGLE-DY PIGGLE-DY god that song melts my fucking face with awesome

I set myself a 24 limit. It's woefully inadequate.

...but I tried to do it as quick as poss, without thinking, and it has some biographical relevance. and i think all those songs are ace.

Supernice!

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.

*ROCKIST*4*LYFE*

This was one of the songs that I couldn't make fit. One of my all-time favorites.

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.

thanks!

ROOOCK N' ROOOOOOOOLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha would you believe I put those together for thematic unity! "Born To Make You Happy" is Britney's most indie moment obv.

GOD IT WAS A JOKE OK? (but, dude, GETTIN HIGH!!!!)

That sounds sort of right, but I only did it in about ten minutes. I bet I've forgotten something really fucking obvious too. Trying to work SFA in was a right old bugger, no question...

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...)

x-post: Tom May - Public Enemy and Peter Hammill on the same comp? Are you Me?

Hmm, nice, I might go and compile it this afternoon

At which point I'd need a shower.

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

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.

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

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

except:

guess who dropped their CD burner 2 days ago...

ARG!

Holla!

"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."

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?

I thought this thread was about the Gong album

i don't think mine has changed that much : /

Right now, it'd look like this:
