This is to discuss the latest mix Not to post track listings, but to discuss, compliment and ask "why did you end with that song?" and "where can I get that cd?"

And I will start. I'm only half way thru downloading, but I love Capn's mashup mix. It's seriously cool. I do like agropyron's Bach arias, but I have a bit of a predjudice towards Bach: he's a bitch to play. More to come.

wait--is it over? the utc thing says it's only 1something...

I think it's over, amberglow...

awww... and I liked your last one so much. I can give you love for that one...?

posted by gaspode 12 August | 21:40

maybe i'll put this one on yousendit for whoever wants? it's a really good mix, i think. (when i finish in about an hour)

posted by amberglow 12 August | 21:45

I love Bach arias. I'd like to have performer info if you have it, please. Have you heard Lorraine Hunt Lieberson's CD of Bach cantatas? It's utterly amazing (like her Handel discs).

wait, amberglow, you didn't submit my mix?

posted by ethylene 12 August | 23:52

i will spam dodgy with porn if he doesn't submit to me
and you know i will

posted by ethylene 12 August | 23:54

gaspode, I didn't participate this time around (since I'm a ~~slow~~ deliberative listener and I'm still working on the last round's mixes), but I've been meaning to tell you that I really dug your mix from last time. For instance, thanks for The Datsuns tip. I didn't know them. Now I do.

oh shit eth--i'm so sorry...i'll upload it now...

posted by amberglow 13 August | 00:28

it's uploading now.

posted by amberglow 13 August | 00:31

Jeez, I'm still unzipping them and getting them all into iTunes. You people move fast.

It's called Winamp.

posted by matildaben 13 August | 02:20

Damn, the Bach mix is too long to burn onto a CD! I'm going to have to drop 6 minutes.

posted by matildaben 13 August | 03:03

matildaben: oops :\ Sorry about the time overrun.

I don't have performer info either. About half of them are from the Brilliant Bach collection, and I know you can look up performer info for that.

posted by agropyron 13 August | 03:22

ethylene and amberglow - check your e-mail.

ethylene - please keep sending the porn.

posted by dodgygeezer 13 August | 03:26

Thanks agro!

posted by matildaben 13 August | 03:36

P.S. You must hear the Lorraine Hunt Lieberson if you haven't already.

posted by matildaben 13 August | 03:37

matilda: I will check her out!

posted by agropyron 13 August | 03:37

thanks dodgy! you rock!

It's called Winamp.

Is that some sort of..... Windows application? *looks askance, keeps unzipping files one by one*

posted by jokeefe 13 August | 11:28

Hey thanks, gramschmidt. (In a desperate attempt to seem slightly non-mainstream, I fill my mixes with bands from New Zealand.)

I'm just about finished downloading the current crop. Yay!

posted by gaspode 13 August | 13:21

so far:

gas, i really like your mix...esp. that Mink song and the Lightning Seeds.

seany: desilicious! : >

(these make being a shut-in due to the weather a little better)

posted by amberglow 13 August | 14:20

capn: i always love yrs--and that macamuppet! : >

posted by amberglow 13 August | 15:07

greasy! perfect for a sultry summer afternoon...mmmm

posted by amberglow 13 August | 15:17

Thanks, amberglow! I *knew* you would like the Mink song. I haven't listened to yours yet, tho. This weather, is disgusting, no? I had to venture outside the (lovely, cold, energy wasting) apartment twice today, and was completely miserable both times.

posted by gaspode 13 August | 18:54

mine's sadder than last time, i think, but it flows better. I was thinking about Cindy Sheehan and a Stars song i didn't use on it, Calendar Girl, while putting it together.

i love discovering new bands--thanks so much!

posted by amberglow 13 August | 19:01

Calendar Girl--Stars

posted by amberglow 13 August | 19:24

Seanyboy - no Talvin Singh?

posted by matildaben 13 August | 22:09

Interesting facts:
2 of the mixes have the same Joanna Newsom song.
At least 3 mixes have a Joni Mitchell song.

posted by matildaben 14 August | 03:44

yes that would be my fault. i noticed too late. sincere apologies to omiewise. and everyone likes joni mitchell, so three different mixes having a track of hers is not entirely surprising.

posted by soi-disant 14 August | 06:23

Frisbee Girl, Thanks for feeding my inner samba-freak!

posted by mmahaffie 14 August | 10:26

Joanna Newsom: incredibly overrated.

posted by kenko 14 August | 12:11

You're welcome, mmahaffie, glad to hear it!

I haven't had a chance yet to listen to any of the mixes, but plan to this evening. Woo hoo!

posted by Frisbee Girl 14 August | 13:48

fris! In these shoes is gold! : >

posted by amberglow 14 August | 14:25

In these shoes is gold!

Are you saying there's gold in your shoes?

posted by agropyron 14 August | 14:32

sure..it's a little uncomfortable but the interest rates are better. ; >

fris, a gorgeous mix--thanks!

posted by amberglow 14 August | 15:01

In those shoes? I don't think so....

posted by amberglow 14 August | 15:28

mm, i'm grooving to your mix--excellent!

posted by amberglow 14 August | 23:16

amber, I've got yours playing now [agro, I'll hit yours soon].

Love Stars, listened to the Calendar Girl song many times yesterday.

posted by Frisbee Girl 15 August | 00:32

Oh, and I was looking for seanyboy's tracklisting as the pdf is giving me an error message and won't open. Is it listed anywhere here, and if so, can anyone point me in the right direction?

posted by Frisbee Girl 15 August | 00:49

loquacious - you're an absolute menace mate. your mix made me want to go and do inappropriate things to household electronics. next time around please tone it up instead of down.

dodgygeezer - loved it. many tracks i've not heard in the longest time, and a couple i've never heard at all. i found myself having to get up and shake it on a couple of occasions. and you actually mixed it too. way to raise the bar.

kenko - i'm most of the way through your mix and the whole jazz folk improv electronic orchestral sound thing is rearranging my head. it sounds like the mutant lovechild of modern symphonia and a sublime frequencies record. nice.

(and joanna newsom may be incredibly overrated but she'll still kick your ass in a harp-off.)

posted by soi-disant 15 August | 04:09

Yeah, also in a looking-pretty-off.

posted by kenko 15 August | 11:02

mmahaffie -- your mix puts me in a hammock with a good book and a long island iced tea beside me. Nice!

posted by gaspode 15 August | 12:17

Now I'm listening to mudpuppie's mix. So chill. It's a mojito. Or a mint julep. Something minty. And I'm on a front porch somewhere.

posted by gaspode 15 August | 12:57

LIstening to gaspode's, love it.

Newsom is cool for no other reason that there should be an 'e' on the end of her name, but I like her.

posted by omiewise 15 August | 16:52

omie, i'm listening to yours now...mmmm!
