Back to Mine

A few of us are putting mix tapes together.

Not a bad idea for a thread.

15 tracks.

mixtapes or muxtapes? (take it you've seen the site?)

Mix tapes?

Steady on, Grandad.

Damn, where did I put my 8 track?

Its Back to Mine, im guessing the theme is what records you'd play someone if you took them home...

Couldn't do that... The missus'd kill me...

Well, this was a CD, but it'd work as well as a tape, I did for someone recently...

2. NO - Age Of Consent
3. Aphex Twin - 4
4. The Clientele - (I Want You) More Than Ever
5. The Durutti COlumn - Fidelity
6. Interpol - Obstacle 1
7. The Field Mice - Missing The Moon
8. Therapy? - Lunacy Booth
9. The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
10. Rilo Kiley - Portions For Foxes
11. Cody - Holding Pattern
12. Portishead - Only You

I started to right the post, then got distracted, was going to cancel it then posted it anyway in error.

So I am sorry that my normal standards of clarity, completeness and good spelling were not observed.

But yes, it's a cd which means about 15 tracks. Music that you like, that you think that others would like or that you might just play to get unwanted visitors to piss off.

Only one track by each artist is the only rule.

My first attempt looked like this, but I'm not happy with it:

1. Another Boy Drowning - The The
2. Nothing Compares to U - Prince
3. Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile) - Duran Duran
4. Telephone and Rubber Band - Penguin Cafe Orchestra
5. The Dream's Lost on Me - Blondie
6. Delia - Bob Dylan
7. Get The Message - Electronic
8. Open Up - Leftfield
9. Voodoo Ray - A Guy Called Gerald
10. Sister Siam - The Whip
11. Missed the Boat - Modest Mouse
12. 2129 - Alabama 3
13. Stay Young - Oasis
14. Turn - New Order
15. Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffett

I'd have a version of Won't Wait That Long that James did on Key 103 about 20 years ago. Absolutely loved that song and they ruined it by slowing it down for the album they eventually released it on.

I'd love someone to show me the chords for it. It's a great guitar sound.

Anyone fancy the challenge of working out the chords? I've got it on MP3 so could send it over MSN.

It would make my life better if I could play that song. Definitely
