mix cds from my musicology class

my prof was a world renowned harpsichordist (?) and linguistic philosopher and made this painful effort to head nod and groove with everything that was played, it was hilarious and terribly embarrassing all at once.

haha welll my teacher in class yesterday was like "wow, these mixes are really...different from other years!!" and was doing this horrible face mask smile, brave-face-putting-on type thing and nodding furiously

from what my musicology friend said and that^ i think maybe now that the class has no pre-req its just got an influx of dumbasses or w/e

xpost my teacher nods to EVERYTHING and kinda rocks on his feet

I mean are you at least allowed to go into the sociology of college kids' musical tastes

we're allowed to do wtf ever afaict

MIX EIGHT

1. Stevie Wonder - "Sir Duke"
2. Patty Griffn - "Let Him Fly"

a lot easier to get through. kinda like that "pumped up kicks" song tbh, wtf kind of name is Foster the People tho? now that ive heard mum&sons i can participate in that clusterfuck thread!!

i love this thread

iirc that's the one song on the mum&sons album that doesn't turn into a big stompy arena rock thing

this thread is great btw, i like to try to imagine what these people are like though a lot of them so far are just kinda generic stereotypical college student taste

sorry BARBRA

would listen

that's yours, roxy, isn't it?

yep

lol, knew it

;)

just kind of a jumble of some of my fave songs tbh. i really like the way the first 3 songs flow together, after that just said fuck it and threw them on there, its not like anyone will listen to them all the way through anyway tbh

did you get the mbuti pygmy thing from milton p?

no, i got into it after reading turnbull's "forest people", ituri rainforest is an interest of mine - hope to do some work there someday (its kinda my life's ultimate goal tbh)

have talked to milton p about it on Mbuti pygmy chanting - Classic or Badass? tho

ok that's what i remember

if i was in this class my mix would be an hour of chopped & screwed music just to be a total troll

thought exactly the same thing!!!

great thread :) wl to yours rox

i started that thread tbh! xpost

nah - to be a total troll, you'd probably do a mix of something like Bruce Haack's children's record

LOL

it's actually really great -- the chorus about tool use reminds me a little of the song "Teenage Enema Nurses in Bondage"

mix five is great, get that person to post here

bruce haack's children's records would show up on my actual mix CD, even before I read these last few posts.

Is this an undergrad class? Kinda dread to think of what mix I'd have made at 19/20/21.

Anyway this thread is amazing.

maybe a companion "what would yr musicology mix cd look like" thread would be interesting

9 >>>>>>>>>> 5 > the rest

yeah its like, THE entry level class for musicology, no prereqs. i took it cause it fit my schedule and i needed a 3 hour elective - also i know the teach and like him

im glad 5 is so popular here cause i was seriously loling while i was listening to it

seems the most ilxory to me

i dunno s&c would properly troll and have people asking musicology type questions

tbh this class is nice cause it gives me a break from the forestry shit which is getting heated and busting my hump atm

you had a mastectomy???

i wish, would be an improvement over some of my silvics assignments

would also make it easier to carry the equipment

13. 311 – “You Get Worked”
14. AWFUL EMO “WONDERWALL” COVER
17. Alanis Morrissette – some kinda REMIX of “You Oughta Know”!!!
18. Gym Class Heroes – “Under The Bridge” (Red Hot Chili Peppers cover)!!!!!!!

never forget

i wouldve just junked mix 6 tbh

junked it how, thrown it away after listening?!

i started that thread tbh! xpost

ha

I stop myself from bumping that thread all the time just to keep it in new answers I listen to the pygmies all the all the all the time

roxy you have this one? it rivals the turnbull CDs

14. AWFUL EMO “WONDERWALL” COVER

was this ryan adams??

no it was an emo BAND tbh, adams' is solo right?

tbh, the first thing I thought when I read Mix 5 was "wkiw"

this is kinda a lot of 'work' isn't it? I mean it's gonna be what, 20 hours of listening? are you guys getting a lot of credit for it?

it's 20% of our grade and we have forever to get it done

I keep wanting to read this as "music cds from my mixology class"

disappointed in roxy for crediting "Crazy Train" to Black Sabbath

In 6th grade music class we all had to pick one song to play for the class and say somthing about; I picked "Still Of The Night" by Whitesnake

lol
