Jebus.. My Cd Doesn't Work..

:(

[thischarmingman]

I was going to do up a cover for mine, but sadly time didn't allow it, next time though. As for names, I'm quite happy with Jebus In The Mix Vol. One, might just stick with that :)

Got mine today ta, though haven't had a chance to listen to it just yet.

Is there a running order decided for this? Is it one a week? I've been thinking quite a lot about mine, have been pondering tracks all week.

[kingdom hoop]

Still though, mixed tracks, sleeve design, bar is so high it's out of sight now!

Exasperatingly, I recently lost access to decks, and also those fancy types-the-tracks-on-the-CD printers. The Hoop Flop could've cleared that bar! Alas a paucity of glossy fripperies won't now distract from my woeful song-selecting abilities.




I've burned off the Cd's (8 is correct? Right?)


Unless you want one for yourself!



Jebus.. My Cd Doesn't Work..


You're coming at the problem from the wrong angle I'd say; it's probably your CD-playing device wherein the issue truly lies. Jebus (perhaps realising we'd quickly tire of his mix) used re-writeable CDs so if your CD player is pretty old it mightn't recognise the CD's newfangled complexion. Your computer should though, so maybe burn the CD on to your computer, whence burn an ordinary CD-R. I'd imagine that's the problem. Of course Jebus could have pulled a fast one by sending you a dud. :)




Is there a running order decided for this? Is it one a week?

Yeah it's one a week. The running order is half confirmed: Volume 1 - Jebus; Volume 2 - Raptor; Volume 3 - The Brewer; Volume 4 - Noby; Volume 5 - Stann. So, you'll note, Volume 6 and onwards haven't been 'bagsed'. Shur we'll put you down for the sixth seeing as though you raised the topic, and the deadline may help to give focus to your pondering. I'll nominate myself for seventh so then I suppose.


Any other questions? :D

How do they get the fig into the fig rolls?






Week six is fine btw.

[Lionel Ritchie]

Week 7 it is for me then.

Tom Waits tune is top notch as well.

[Wangball]

I suppose that makes me 8!

[Block G Raptor]

Unless you want one for yourself!

Well yeah of course I want one. ;)

I thought there was 9 of us really:o

[thischarmingman]

Week 1 is week beginning 2nd June.
2...9th
3...16th
4...23rd
5...30th
6...7th July
7...14th July
8...21st July

[kingdom hoop]

I thought there was 9 of us really:o

Oh there are alright. The confusion may stem from Lionel Ritchie boldly shouldering me off the roster this morning. :D I want that lucky seventh spot back damn you! (clever joke about too long a post welcome :))


On Jebus's CD, songs I particularly liked were those by The Shins, Nightmares On Wax, The Clash, Nina Simone, Paul Simon, and Tom Waits. If I was to be negative, I'd say Chet Baker's Mr B felt a little long. Very enjoyable overall though in fairness.

[thischarmingman]

Mine may well be a box set by the time I'm finished.

A normal CD-R is 70 mins yeah?

[Wangball]

Just got Raptor's CD, haven't had a listen to it but the track listing is pretty promising! Surprise 80's track is a winner

[jebus]

Jebus.. My Cd Doesn't Work..

:(

Did it get sorted? I'll burn a new one and post out to you again if not

[Block G Raptor]

Righty Oh Lads. Wangball is practically a neighbour so I hand delivered his y-day. I'll be posting the rest of them at about 1pm today

Don't you start in on the Jazz as well Hoop :)

[Block G Raptor]

CD's on the Way Lads
Oh yeah forgot to mention that I had to cut the original 20 tracks down to 17 as their wasn't enough room on the CD
still it gives me a 3 track head start for next time

[kingdom hoop]

Don't you start in on the Jazz as well Hoop :)

Ah come on, jazz is awful! Nah, I like a lot of it, especially the more modern electro stuff like St. Germain or the swingier end of things. But I don't much care for a lot of other, maybe purer, stuff at all to be honest. That's just me though. :)

You might be dropped for next time though.... :D

Looking forward to manhandling the postman in the morning to see what he's bringing. Hopefully no jazz anyway.

[noby]

I'm in two minds as to whether I should be planning my playlist already, or go for the last minute panic approach. Probably the latter, knowing me.

I quite liked Jebus' one - very laid back for these sunny days (although I think I may have skipped half way through 'that' song)

[jebus]

Damn you people. Like a modern day Joseph Stalin I try to bring a little bit of culture to the table and all I get is backstabbing and abuse :)

[Block G Raptor]

This I can confirm

[stann]

I have one done up already, burned it yesterday to check the quality, and by today I think it's just the greatest load of crap! :mad:
Will probably go with the panic approach in the end as well. :D

[Wangball]

I liked the Chet Baker on Jebus' CD....He was mixing it up!

Mine will be very one dimensional by comparison!

[Block G Raptor]

I put the CD's in the external post pigeon hole at work and I've just noticed that they are still sitting there, So if they are still there at lunchtime I'll bring them to a post box and get them off. sorry for the delay

[noby]

Damn lazy pigeons.

[noby]

CD just arrived. Not listened to it yet but my first reaction is that we have similar tastes in music. I'll give it a blast this evening.

[Block G Raptor]

Thats a relief. the post office was closed on my lunchbreak so I didn't have a chance to weigh them or anything I just lashed 2 55c stamps on each (three on the one going to Derry) and hoped that was enough :)

[kingdom hoop]

Yep, it was enough for the package to make it all the way to Kerry too! I haven't had the opportunity to listen to it yet either, but it does indeed have the well-acquainted, appetising appearance of say a steak. Looking forward to getting stuck into it later. :)

Got mine today. Had a little perusal of the track listing and looking forward to listening to it. :D

thanks.

[thischarmingman]

Damn you people. Like a modern day Joseph Stalin I try to bring a little bit of culture to the table and all I get is backstabbing and abuse :)

Loving the CD, it's a good mix. Particular favs are the Shins, Paul Simon, Goldfrapp and most particularly the Supergrass song.

:)

[noby]

I'm looking forward to your CD so

Without getting into Venn diagrams, I have a pretty broad, some might say shallow, range of tastes, so hopefully there will be something on there that you'll like.

Actually, I started compiling lastnight, and found it very difficult.
Do you put a bit if everything you like on the cd?
Or do you concentrate on a genre?
If so, what?

I threw together 10 general 'indie-pop' songs last night, but it might be a bit one-dimensional, so I'll have to start tweaking.


Your cd got a good airing after work. Good stuff. Although I had to skip the last track. Too depressing for 7pm on a sunny evening!

[jebus]

Yeah I really liked the Road to Rouen album that Supergrass song came off, well worth a purchase in my opinion

Liking Block's CD as well, bar the Doors track, but then I do hate the Doors in general :)

'The End' seems to be his 'Mr B.'
:p

[jebus]

Culture people it's culture!

[noby]

An interesting experiment. I might plant one 'culture' song in the mix, and see does everybody skip it.

[kingdom hoop]

Noby, there's always the time and/or place option, don't forget. Like say Music from Brazil, or Neglected 60s Classics, or Early 80s in Coventry, etc.

On that basis I tentatively moved towards a working title the other day (I don't think I'm allowed say what it is though). I think it allows a little more freedom and intrigue than an absolute genre-constrained approach, and at the same time gives you a bit of focus when selecting content. Though of course there is still a strong temptation to just load the CD with the twenty best songs ever.

The 'taste of everything you like' approach is appealing as well. Maybe as this is our first go we should do a "Hi I'm Noby, this is an introduction to the range of music I like" sort of thing. :D

I'm very open-eared (and I think all of us are bar Lionel and his 76/77 punk rock infatuation), so I'd say a mix of stuff might be good, more interesting. I think I'd prefer that. Jebus, Prince Charming et al, preferences?

[jebus]

For the first CD I think it's best we stick with a 'put whatever you want on it', afterwards we can introduce loose themes but the only problem with themes is that restrictive ones (like even 'Non-English language songs) can get a bit repetitive over 9 CDs. Loose ones like 'female singers' might work, but what if one us really doesn't like female singers?

[noby]

Yeah, I thought about the introduction thing. That's still a possibility. It's easier than trying to crowbar some Fall or Birthday party or something into 'the best twee-pop album ever'

I was consciously skipping past HMHB stuff last night, thinking 'nah, Lionel will cover that'. Of course, we know he's going to fool us all with an hour of disco classics.

Oh, I think any themes should be voluntary.

[kingdom hoop]

Why would the theme need to be the same for all 9 CDs though? Definitely seems unfair, and might be a bit boring.

If everyone picked an individual, pretty specific theme that they've a particular fondness for and knowledge of it'd be best I'd imagine?

[jebus]

Why would the theme need to be the same for all 9 CDs though?

Ah I see, I thought we were on about one specific theme for a round of CDs, yeah voluntary ones sounds good

[noby]

Ah I see, I thought we were on about one specific theme for a round of CDs

No that got blackballed on account of the fact that eventually the theme would be Jazz. Even the thought of it gives me palpitations. <winkie>

[Billsthoughts]

Track list?

[stann]

The best thing about a mixtape for me is hearing stuff I've not heard before, or types of music I wouldn't normally listen to (a CD version of Later... kind of thing).
From that point of view a mix of whatever you fancy sounds the way to go for the first one, with a good handful of little known tunes thrown in. Themes then in the next round, each of us picking one, or nominating one beforehand and then stoutly defending the choice against all criticism. :D

[Block G Raptor]

Track list?

1. Thats Entertainment - Paul Weller Feat. Noel Gallagher
2. Love Will Tear Us Apart Again- Joy Division
3. I Wanna Be Adored - Stone roses
4. Some Surprise - Cake Sale
5. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
6. 99 Red Balloons- Nina
7. Intervention - The Arcade Fire
8. Adagio For Strings (Platoon) - Samuel Barber
9. Space Oddity - David Bowie
10. Children Of The Revolution (Live8) - Elton john feat. Pete Doherty
11. Feel Flows- The Beach Boys
12. Set the Fire To The 3rd Bar - Snow Patrol

15. One For The Road (Live @ Oxegen 2003) - Ocean Colour Scene
16. She's Leaving Home - The Beatles
17. The End

[noby]

Track 1-8 has a very familiar feel to it, and could have easily been the mix I put together, with the exception of cake sale whom I'd never heard before, but like that song. Good 80's one in the mix too.

[Wangball]

Whose Next???

[noby]

Ah, crap, it's not me is it?

*Looks back through thread*

Nope. Sligobrewer.


I'll have my CD ready for burning as well next week.

So, I'll take the 3rd week so?
