cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 17 December 2005 14:18 (eighteen years ago) link

people generally put too many tracks on mixes I think

cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 17 December 2005 14:20 (eighteen years ago) link

i lost it on the old computer, i'm afraid. it's too jaunty for that tape anyway, i put mine after 'overnight celebrity' by twista n kanye i think! ur probly right about too many trax 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."

Alba (Alba), Saturday, 17 December 2005 14:25 (eighteen years ago) link

why dont we - play something these hoes'd liiiike / drive whips i know they liiike

hold tight the private caller (mwah), Saturday, 17 December 2005 14:33 (eighteen years ago) link

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

but you can w.no reproach use it as second and penultimate

or have the tracks seperated by a ratio of 8:5, I think

cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 17 December 2005 14:37 (eighteen years ago) link

sometimes i'd just like to hang myself in the air, alone and suspended in the net of my own echo...

i can't tell, if putting it on a mixtape worked with that girl, or not, but i do know that if its a shameful internet-related shenanigan, then here is the best place to share.

i bought that record in Nashville itself, i just remembered. there were no guitar shaped swimming pools though

terry lennox. (gareth), Saturday, 17 December 2005 15:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I stayed in a guitar-shaped swimming pool for four hours in nashville and got an ear infection

RJG (RJG), Saturday, 17 December 2005 15:21 (eighteen years ago) link

we decided against the use of our swimming pool

thats the 1 yes

erm i should clarify this was probably a well-ensconced 3rd datey tape; i'm not so jovial on a 1st, naturally.

hold tight the private caller (mwah), Saturday, 17 December 2005 15:24 (eighteen years ago) link

perhaps i should be.

I don't think I've ever put two mixes of the same track in one mix - but when I DJed at club Freaky Trigger, I started with the tune that has the horn part used in Crazy In Love, and ended with the Beyonce track. I don't know how many people noticed...

I love how these threads get revived only to see how mental I was back in the day. *sigh* I haven't made a mix-CD/tape/whatever in AGES.

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

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...
