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...

Snorri xxx

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

1. Mogwai - Yes I Am A Long Way From Home!
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

12. Portishead - Only You
13. Half Man Half Biscuit - Bottle Neck At Capel Curig

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

we could just rebel. how's he going to stop us? i might do a second myself - and then a THIRD. maybe even a fourth. yeah, that's right. i'm a renegade, compiling outside the law.

Jesus Snorri look what you've started now.

Everyone thinks they can have as many disks as they want now.

It's fucking anarchy.

I'm having a terrible time refining my list.

And that's the point.

You have to limit yourself to 15 tracks and no more than one by each artist.

I drove 150 miles with a hangover today and all I thought about was whether to change my Bob Dylan track.

Biggest Thing on Two Wheels wrote:

Well thats 3 discs ive done,and not one band/musician appears twice,thats 45 different musos

So what if about 40 of them are shite..

i reckon i can get more than 15 on a cd. i'm going to squeeze on massive attack and bjork and james (say something though, not sometimes) and then i'm going to actually make it.

and then sit and stroke it.

I tell you what we'll do, let's all ignore the fucking rules and do what the fuck we want, shall we. Actually I'm a bit pissed off with driving on the left, I'm going to start using the middle of the road. At 120 miles an hour. And I'm going to stop paying for things in shops and I'll batter any cats I see to death in the street. Just because I want to. And I'm going to blow out the Olympic flame too.

Fucking morons, the lot of you. Can't follow simple instructions.

15 tracks, one disk, don't repeat the artist. It's so simple and yet seems to be beyond you all.

It's people like you lot that are responsible for the utter decline that will be the ruin of this world.

FINE. i will do as i'm told. but i'm changing my name to an unpronounceable symbol.

YOU'RE ALL MY SLAVES

MWA HA HA HA

me too. excellent substitution with the smiffs. inspired by the lovely graham?

Who?

I went to school with someone called Graham Smith. Do I win £40?

I'm surprised at how few of my favourite tracks I actually have to hand on MP3.

I've just been weighing up versions and I reckon the Rank version is the one. The interplay between the guitar and vocals is lovely.

In case anyone was wondering...

Watch her. She's a groupie.

That the Morrissey man?

I didn't really speak to him. In fact, I don't think he was very impressed by my antics. Don't blame him either.

What's the bassist called? He's a top bloke.

I've never fondled a quiff in my life. I have noticed that you, on the other hand, have spoken of nothing other than stroking and fondling things.

we have to make our own entertainment in sunny scunny.

'groupie' is an ugly word, bert. i prefer 'enthusiastic fan'.

You going to see them in Ull tomorrow?

I was determined to follow them up to Fraserburgh this morning, then remembered that it was a private party for teenagers.

dunno, i'd forgotten they were playing til your post tonight. i'd like to, but it's pretty short notice for babysittage...

Some stalker you are. Can't even remember when the bloody bands playing.

Where's my disk, anyway? And what are you doing hijacking my thread with your prattle about bands?

Get off.

pah! i have been one of the most enthusiastic fans of this thread.

i am off to go and dance round my kitchen to my ace compilation. if you want a copy you can come and get it. or at least arrange a fair swap.

edit: do you want the 15 or 18 track version?!

I'll look after your kids while you go and see your band.

I'm only joking. You're welcome on my thread despite your renegade ways.

What is the bassist called? Do you know?

EDIT: Do I have a choice?

If so, more is probably best.

AHA! so i can extend the playlist when it suits you?!

the bassist is called simon. simon hudson. big pal of will's.

bloodynora wrote: AHA! so i can extend the playlist when it suits you?!

Only cos he was wanting something

Thanks I'm going to Facebook stalk him now if he's there.

Did you know that mix tapes became irrevelant since mp3 players all have shuffle and playlists? Get with the times Biggie

you take that back. just playing a bunch of songs in a random order ignores the delicate art of the mix tape compilation; the careful selection of tracks and running order, the loving segue from fade to intro, the mastery of juxtaposition and transition.

times may change, my friend, but some things will never die.

a lot like a lot of those on here have

looks like 15 tracks might have been quite generous after all...

tight bastards

also, i'm going to close mine with 'you give a little love' by paul williams now. yeah?

Your's is loads cooler than mine. I'm jealous.
