mix cds from my musicology class

MIX TWENTY EIGHT

1. Electronic instrumental, sounds like Fourtet.
2. Instrumental with phasing 8-bit noises and synthesized bird sounds.
3. It’s Godspeed You Black Emperor, but I don’t know what track.
4. Modern disco, really detached and minimalist.
5. Sounds like a Norah Jones song with no vocals. High pitched guitar accents, pinch harmonics.
6. Matisyahu – “King Without a Crown”
7. Instrumental with TONS of Hammond B-3 and phase-y guitar.
8. “Mystery Train” cover – not sure who? Sounds new.
9. Michael Jackson – “Rock With You”
10. Gorillaz – “Dirty Harry”
11. Steve Miller Band – “Jungle Love”
12. Van Morrison – “The Way Young Lovers Do”
13. Modest Mouse – “All Nite Diner”
14. Red Hot Chili Peppers – “Suck My Kiss”
15. White Zombie – “Thunder Kiss ‘69”
16. 311 – “Speak Easy”
17. Muse – “Space Dementia”

My teacher's cd had Ice Cube on it. I didn't write down all the tracks.

Mix 26 seems fun but if it was me I'd have used the Grace Jones version of Nightclubbing

track 3 on that one sounds like Essential Logic?

24 is kinda wtf

24 is horrible, just a thematic cd "about being friends"

MIX THIRTEEN

1. 30 seconds of guitar noise and human wailing
2. Proscriptor
3. 19 second Napalm Death song, not sure which one
4. Bleeeeak black metal, no vocals real drums, it's badass
5. G.G. Allin – “My Revenge”
6. Khanate – “Torching Khoroviev”
7. CANINUS – “Human Rawhide” – excerpt from the track. Grind w/ dog on vocals, if you haven't heard of this!
8. Ludicra?
9. a midi with goregrind vox – horrible and I don’t recognize it
10. SO.D. – “The Ballad of Jimi Hendrix” – controversial!
11. Annoying as fuck electro-grind with hiiiiigh pitched shrieking

I'm bumping this thread because I remembered it and this whole stupid class and experience while thinking about Ethan, who made this mix. Taking this class together put us on each other's radar. Later, his band started playing shows at my house, and "tall grindcore guy" turned into "Ethan." He moved to DC a few years ago——we'd always run into him at Deathfest, and crash with him when we played in town or went to a show up there. I found out a few days ago that he was very sick with an aggressive brain tumor; before anyone could process even that news, he died. He was honestly SO like this mix: hilarious and surprising. A relentlessly uplifting and interesting person to be around. So missed.
