Most importantly a big round of applause to iconomy, arse_hat, Capn, mlis, seanyboy, omiewise and matteo who have all generously sponsored this swap. They are now allowed to adopt any title they want for the next month - Lord, Emperor, Tyrant - and we must use it whenever in their presence while bowing our heads and tugging our forelocks. It's the rules.

Thanks guys.

31d1's is one, 79-minute, track. Care to provide a track list?
posted by matildaben 13 June | 15:43
I am at work and hence don't have my track list, but I'll say that my mix was inspired by the tapes I used to make for guys I had crushes on in middle school. I was gonna call it "All the Indie kids make out to this tape," but its new name is "I am Lost in the Desert of your Mind" (emo enough?). I forgot to mention in the .txt liner notes that the cover art was shamelessly stolen from www.explodingdog.com.

So not fair! I had a mix all ready, but went out of town and forgot to upload.

You people don't know what you're missing. And unfortunately, I do know what I'm missing.

Safetyfork, I loved your last CD from the MeFiSwap... I'm bummed that you didn't make it into this one. Are you going to be in the next CD swap? I'm doing a totally different mix this time and I can send you an extra if you'll send me yours.

posted by iconomy 13 June | 16:09
P.S. Boymilo's track 11 appears to be "How Soon Is Now?" - I think WinZip choked on the question mark - anyway, if it's the album version I'm sure everyone has it already and can just pop it in place. However, if it's some kind of bootleg or cover track he'll have to let us have it.

I wanted to finish listening to the SXSW showcase before I put my mix together. I finshed it this morning.
The dog ate my tracklisting.
I'm a lazy idiot who like to leave things til the last minute.

posted by seanyboy 13 June | 16:24
I'm listening to amberglow's right now and while it may be a bit more MOR than some of us weirdos' stuff, it's a lot of stuff I haven't heard or else haven't heard for a long time, mostly stuff from the 80's, so it gets retro cred and definitely will get played at the appropriate place and time. Although the dude hasn't heard the Arcade Fire yet, someone get him a copy of Funeral quick!

OK, now I feel really boring and mainstream. I just managed to get mine uploaded after struggling to find the time to put it together and then get it uploaded. Believe it or not, the power went out four times last night when I was trying to upload the file. I didn't have time to re-encode tracks at a lower bitrate thatn the 320 that most of them are, so had to compromise between play length and file size. For what it's worth, here they are:

ANIMALIA
1. Pigs on the wing (part 1) [Pink Floyd]
2. The mule [Deep Purple]
3. Psycho chicken [The Fools]
4. Weasels ripped my flesh [Frank Zappa]
5. Cows with guns [Dana Lyon]
6. Black dog [Led Zeppelin]

I hear my mix may have a problem with track 18 Life on Mars because of the question mark. If you need it then email me and I'll gmail it along: ahpollock at gmail

Amberglow, I'm nearly 40; I just like to keep up with wot the kidz iz diggin. I enjoy a good blast from the past because I do kind of neglect the older stuff in my endless pursuit of the new.
posted by matildaben 13 June | 18:51
I've got all the downloads now (I'm home sick again today, nothing else to do), and I can make Azureus torrents of them all and seed them. I'll send them to everyone that was on the announce email. If anyone not on that list wants them, email me.
posted by matildaben 13 June | 18:55
send them to me and i'll seed too, matilda. (and thanks for turning me on to bands i didn't know==actually every mix so far is doing that==thanks all!)

dame's is wonderful too--i didn't know new-new-wave/electro/whatever was that good! (and that Slade song!!!!--we were dancing to that and Gary Glitter's Rock n Roll at almost every sweet sixteen one year--that, and Michael Jackson's Off the Wall, believe it or not)

amberglow, I'm listening to yours now, and it's most excellent. No kind of second class citizen, which is how you seem to be characterizing it.

Dame, I accept your proposal, because, as we all very well know, there is nothing like a dame!

These tracklists are fuggin' fantastic. I'm downloading right now, and am honestly really excited.
posted by iconomy 13 June | 19:57
I can see (1) or (2) peers for most of my torrents, so that must be Amberglow and Schyler. The rest of you should have the torrent files in your email, so if you use them, please keep Azureus open as you download to spread the weight around.
posted by matildaben 13 June | 20:03
I have a feeling that by the time all the requirements for Azureus have been compiled, I'll be done downloading everything conventionally.

I thought I could just highlight some text and hit the Link button, but after entering the address in the dialog box, it just throws some code at the end of my post. Oh well, if anybody wants it, just send me an email. Grrrrr.

DG, I haven't heard Psycho Chicken since the year it came out, and I swear I never thought I would ever hear it again. That's awesome! Thanks!
posted by matildaben 13 June | 20:46
4 - The Hanging Garden (Live) - Concert The Cure Live - The Cure

I started reading this and thought, "holy shit! Someone put the Necks on their mix!"
posted by kenko 13 June | 20:55
No sweat, matildaben - I started out with all sorts of lofty ambitions of creating something deep and meaningful when I gathered tracks together - then I saw Psycho Chicken in the list and that was the end of that!

Swaps like this make me aware of how narrow my muscial taste really is - I have not even heard of at least half the artists in these tracklists. Which is kind of the point, I suppose.
posted by dg 13 June | 21:15
I can't wait to get home and start downloading some of these. I hope that they are going to stay available for a few days, as it could take me some time to get them at 512 (it took over two hours to upload my mix via my 128 mb uplink).

"dg, do you torrent? i'm seeding a whole bunch of them." They become experts so fast... ;-)
posted by arse_hat 13 June | 22:58
Meh, had not much luck with torrents in the past. I may have a look tonight and give it a go, but my experience has been that they are more trouble than they are worth.

arse_hat, an expert is merely someone who has one piece of information that the rest of the herd doesn't.
posted by dg 13 June | 23:02
it was all due to schyler & matilda--and i'm not creating them--just seeding them (that part is still iffy for me) : >

Does anyone have a good file of Kenko's Art Zoyd track they can email me? It came across from the zip file without an extension, and if I add an .mp3 extension to it, it still won't play in either iTunes or Winamp. This is the filename as I got it: "Art Zoyd - Symphonie Pour Le Jour Ou Bruleront Les Cites - 04 - Deux Images De" (no extension). Thanks!

kenko: Wonderwall - Radiohead

Really?

No, not really. It's a pisstake, it's only about half the song, and ends with Thom saying something on the order of "That's enough of that". Fun fact: it was recorded about a mile from where I sit right this minute, at the CBC Studios in Vancouver. [/RH trivia nerd]

I was a bit intimidated by the whole Mefi swap thing, and was a little concerned that I couldn't compete in the coolness/obscurity arena, but after reading the playlists I realise that this wouldnt' have been a problem, and I was silly to worry... I know it's early to be talking about doing this again soon, but the whole project seems to have been very sucessful; so perhaps next time?

Damn iPod is now full.
Got to work 40 minutes late because I was trying to free up enough space to get everyone on.

I'll upload a different version later on today. I can't do it now because (for some reason) large FTP uploads kill my internet connection and it pisses my customers off.
posted by seanyboy 14 June | 06:38
seanyboy, the first two times I d/led it, when I clicked on it I got a 'corrupted file' error, but I was d/ling other zips at the same time. I waited until they were done, and d/led it alone, and it opened and extracted fine.

Starting to download some mixes right now while listening to pukeandcry's mix, which is kicking my butt. I'll be in the car a lot over the next few days so I'm trying to get a few of these to CD lickety split.

Nicely done dg. I'm glad to see there's still some swap talk going on during the recent clusterfuck of woe. I still haven't even downloaded all of them yet, but I like what I've heard so far.

wha?

Anyway, I'm still meandering through matildaben's mix, and as it's the first of 21, I don't know if I'll be ready for another round in a month.
