also there is a red+meth 'predominantly white' skit hidden somewhere

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

Josh, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

hah josh do you put tony's theme on every mix you make? (not that i disagree - i like tony's theme)

geeta, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey, what's that song about anyway? From the lyrics it could just be about a little kid, but for some reason I can't shake the image of some 30 year old retarded guy cruising around town on his bicycle being a super hero. (I always end up using roygbiv to end tapes with too, it's so short, and so good that it, like, catches your attention to let you know the tape's done.)

Dan I., Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

haha josh still has a blog he's just too embarassed to post there after his "big announcement" (much like someone else coughcough...)

jess, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

You bad Blog Killahs, see one day you WILL regret it

Chupa-Cabras, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

is that yo la tengo a cover of the william devaughn song?

Ron, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

I like the Neutral Milk Hotel song. Could do with some Megadeth.

jel --, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Josh you could post it on my site since I have made no such declaration heh.

Andy K, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, Ron, it is. Massive Attack also did a cover of this classique toon. Nevah heard the Yo La Tengo version though.

I never make tapes anymore. Much easier to get all mental about making mix CDs: you can shuffle the songs around 4-evah-&-evah-etc-etc

cuba libre (nathalie), Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

im gonna make tape for nath

Ron, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

YAY! Could you put some chick rock on it? :-)

anyone wanna trade tapes/cds with me?

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

jel --, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

dan: it is a song about a superhero named tony. it's called 'tony's theme'.

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.

Josh, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Was there a theme? Was the sequence important? By asking these questions do I let you guys show how mental I actually am about making mix CDs? Can someone tell me the way to the toilet? Thanks.

cuba libre (nathalie), Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

theme: no

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.

Josh, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

sometimes i think you only own like 25 cds.

jess, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

27

Josh, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

andy: it's nowhere near as swank as yours.

Josh, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

You could always post it on the Art of the Mix site.

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.

Bert, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

josh you are a fucking god make me a tape and i will love you forever.

anthony, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Forever = Long Time

JM, Sunday, 9 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Bert, THIRD best since I make GRATE ones as well. If only because I too am belgian. We can OBJECTIVELY choose the tunes so they fit together PERFECTLY.

cuba libre (nathalie), Monday, 10 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

I've heard of most of these. I am disappointed in you Kortbein. Oh yeah also you are a rockist etc etc, this tape is RUB because it haf the BEATLES on it where o where is the Fall/Moldy Peaches/Help I'm A Fish eh?

Sarah, Monday, 10 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Josh, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

then again this one had no bitchez or hoez

Josh, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

i love two step!! it sounded so nice when i saw low play last summer

Ron, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah man I hate it when I hear songs I've heard before

Josh, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Buying 12 or so records you've never heard and a blank CDR + making a mix with a song from each picked at random = best method evah. I did this once...

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

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

Andy K, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes, but I'm rubbish and a benchmark of what you shouldn't be doing.

nath @ woik, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

haha andy we are not all rich kings sitting atop vast piles of wealth with which to get cds. or amg writers.

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

Josh, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Everybody now a) (its a cdr) Tom Waits - I Dont Wanna Grow Up, The Vasilines - Jesus Doesnt Want me For A Sunbeam, Sloan Dreaming Of You, Big Star - Thirteen, The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving, Rheostatics - Clair (live), Serge Gainsborough - je Taime... moi non plus, Art Bergman - Hospital Song (earlier electric version), Aphex Twin - Xtal, Black Eyes - January, Mojave 3 - Bringing Me Home again, 13th Floor Elevators - Splash, Cowboy Junkies - 200 Miles, Stone Roses - This Is The One, Rheostatics - You Are Very Star.

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

Mr Noodles, Sunday, 23 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Haha Josh no see it's just that my priorities are wrong -- I bought actual real clothes for the first time in ovah a year last wkend.

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.

Andy K, Sunday, 23 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

3 is the magic number followed by Jus 1 Kiss, nice.

Ronan, Sunday, 23 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

andy the shellac was a crowd-pleaser for sure! usually it's the gangsta rap (oh it's so awful and nasty) that draws the comments from the girls my roommate plays the tape for. don't know if any of them have caught the juxtaposition tho.

DVD-Rs will overtake CDRs in popularity, MP3 decoding capability will become the norm in hi-fis, leading to 1000 track mixes. "Did you like the transition between track 562 and 563? I spent ages getting that right."

Jaymc left his mixes at my party, but I will get them to him soon.

I drew two CDs tonight.

One is called Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Mixtape and consists entirely of covers of 'Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child' - by Price, Boney-M, Ramsey Lewis, Odetta, and about 15 others.

Nice. I was just about to call you and say yo I left my mixes at your party, but my phone is dead.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 23 December 2005 08:08 (eighteen years ago) link

I have no idea who ended up with my mix! I want to know what they think!

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 23 December 2005 08:10 (eighteen years ago) link

You bastards. I wanna get copies of your mixes. :-(

Nathalie (stevie nixed), Friday, 23 December 2005 08:19 (eighteen years ago) link

you can't put hide and seek at the beginning wtf!

cozen (Cozen), Friday, 23 December 2005 09:04 (eighteen years ago) link

WAIT WHY? When I started planning the mix, the only thing I was sure of was that I wanted to start with "Hide and Seek."

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 23 December 2005 09:08 (eighteen years ago) link

I am being indie here but when I listen to tht it takes me a little while to readjust to wanting to hear anything else...

hardcore cornography!!

cozen (Cozen), Friday, 23 December 2005 09:14 (eighteen years ago) link

can't bookend a mix w.an original & its remix

why not?

Theorry Henry (Enrique), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:32 (eighteen years ago) link

you just can't! 2nd and penultimate is just cheesy enough

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:35 (eighteen years ago) link

you all like nick hornby. fuck the rules.

Theorry Henry (Enrique), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:36 (eighteen years ago) link

I made a mixtape, too, but I'm having hell with getting everything the right volume.

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:37 (eighteen years ago) link

do you guys actually mix? i'm out of the game. long-term g/f: no mixtapes from me.

Theorry Henry (Enrique), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:38 (eighteen years ago) link

fuck the rules? enrique, really now?

cozen (Cozen), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:40 (eighteen years ago) link

I mix where I need to! Maybe very slightly less.

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.

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:42 (eighteen years ago) link

I got a mix back; can you guess one track that's on it?

cozen (Cozen), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:45 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm not going to make a mix tape for someone i live with. afaic, mixes are for 'potential girlfriends'. but by mix i mean, do you have decks and shit? or use some kind of software?

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'?

Theorry Henry (Enrique), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:48 (eighteen years ago) link

yes but "fuck the rules" /= "the rules are there to fucked"

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

am I being too oblique here? I feel I am

cozen (Cozen), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:49 (eighteen years ago) link

czn, junior boys, "last exit (fennesz rmx)"?

I am meaning, with software.

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:49 (eighteen years ago) link

do all my C90s in ableton

cozen (Cozen), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:50 (eighteen years ago) link

"ableton"?

Theorry Henry (Enrique), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:51 (eighteen years ago) link

there's no way to get trick me (tiefswarz rmx) sounding even okay on shitty discman speakers, is there?

superheroes of bmx instead maybe? or what?

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:51 (eighteen years ago) link

no wait, that's totally wrong. it needs to be something really big, but still quite cold?

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 23 December 2005 11:32 (eighteen years ago) link

two years pass...

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

James Mitchell, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 05:13 (sixteen years ago) link

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.
