that's the very last thing I'd use.

every motherfucker AND fatherfucker has flogged THIEVERY to death--ESL & K7 in-general. They work ok as individual tracks, but often times packaging (TOSCA's "Suzuki") and entire bodies of work comes across better--unless you're mixing that shit.

how about some cat stevens? please keep quality control and push boundaries, please.

[Thirty Nine]

speaking of chill, how about some:

cardigans/erase-rewind

chemical brothers feat. hope sandoval/asleep from the day

zombies/flowers for emily

something off death in vegas' "scorpio rising", anmial collective's latest 2-disc. even a track from Dido's "life for rent".

[secretazngurl]

i was trying to think of a good theme for my next mix(s)...
maybe seasons? or colors? numbers? then i thought maybe a mix of musicians that were related somehow... in each other's bands & stuff... sorta a 6 deg of sep thing?? i dunno... :confused:
(oh, i'm def. gonna make a 'california' mix too!)

[hippyjonny]

all i gotta say is i got the best mix tape ever, the other day.

[hippyjonny]

^
sorry that really didnt help move this thread forward

[Thirty Nine]

(laughs) sure it did...you didn't list the most overused-terms in recent musical memory: "downtempo", "chill-out", "zero 7" and "thievery corporation", although if that was stuck on your tape, it's probably the coolest for the fact that it's on an all-but-extinct format.

[wonki wonki]

^ Neither did that. Hehe.

...

I think it'd be cool to put together alternative soundtracks for movies real or imagined.

[Thirty Nine]

How about a "calm the fuck down" mixation, where something just happened, and you throw some tracks together to remember it?

A couple weeks ago I got four or five hits around the eye and had a nice half-to-three-quarter inch cut that dripped helluv-everywhere; so instead of checking into an ER, I got the gauze/peroxide/etc. from the Safeways and let that rot in for about a day before I got it properly stitched up...anyways, I made a mix and threw together a buncha fun stuff. Then I ordered about a dozen of those Lucky Disc guys and blew off some spins for the fine people at Rasputin's Records down the road for giving me ice, letting me use the phone and driving me around.

[herrokitty]

my next mix tape is going to be entitled
Star Wars : the greatest love story ever told.

[kid_robotron]

I am working on my next mix tape, a sterling mix of Bond themes, bossanova, lounge, soul and all manner of often neglected goodness.

[joetron2030]

No mixtape ideas from me. But, I recently thought of two tracks that would go well back to back, BBD's "Poison" into Usher's "Yeah".

Thoughts?

[Dr Jesus]

Somone should do a shitty music mixtape with everthing fom Eddie Murphy's "party all the time" to Yusef Islam's(Cat Stevens) "A Is For Allah". It also Needs to have gems like Vanilla Ice's "Ninja Rap" & Some Chuck Manson for good measure.

[joetron2030]

Ha! That's a good idea.

That's actually what I usually do when I'm making a mixtape. They're usually offbeat comedy-dramas, although coming up with a soundtrack for an imaginary action or horror flick would be interesting.

I think the next mix that I make will have an anagrammatic track listing, if that makes any sense.

[Dr Jesus]

The holy Grail of bad Mixtapes:

1)Eddy Murphy Feat Rick James: Party All the time
2)Vanilla Ice:Ninja Rap (from TMNT2)
3)Osofia: I Go Chop Your Dollars
4)The Beatles: Sie Leibt Dich ("She Loves You" recorded in German)
5)Devo: Mongoloid
6)Charles Manson:Look at Your Game Girl (Yes that Charles Manson)
7)Paul Anka: Smells Like Teen Spirit
8)DJ Assault: Ass n' Titties
9)Travis: Baby One More Time
10)The Fools: Life Sucks and Then you Die
11)Aphex Twin: Ventolin
12)John Cage: 4'33" (four minutes and thirty three seconds of silence as played on the piano)
13)Sid Vicious: My Way
