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 :)

I liked the Chet Baker on Jebus' CD....He was mixing it up!
Mine will be very one dimensional by comparison!
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
Damn lazy pigeons.
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.
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 :)
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. :)
I'm looking forward to your CD soQuote:

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

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

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

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?
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?
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.

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

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
1. Thats Entertainment - Paul Weller Feat. Noel GallagherQuote:

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
13. Live Forever - Oasis
14. Polaris - Ash
15. One For The Road (Live @ Oxegen 2003) - Ocean Colour Scene
16. She's Leaving Home - The Beatles
17. The End
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.
Whose Next???
Ah, crap, it's not me is it?
*Looks back through thread*
Nope. Sligobrewer.

Thought I'd posted earlier on BGR's one, but I hadn't, sorry. Some good tunes there. The Joy Division one is an absolute classic of course, but Pedantic Pat said to tell you to drop the 'again'. ;) (Oh, and it's Nena, he said to say! :D )
Liked the Beach Boys one too, hadn't heard that before, don't know why. Good end to it too, even though I can't stand The Doors, I do like that tune.
Is this not illegal lads ? copying music and distrbuting it ?
NARC!Quote:

Lad's I've been laid up in bed for the week with Streptococcal Throat so haven't been online. Do you need me to forward the addresses to sligobrewer or has he vanished?
Not sure, he hasn't been on so what to do?Quote:

I'll probably be slaughtered for this but are mix tapes not something you do for chicks you fancy when you're sixteen? Is there something going on here?
Sssshhhhhhhh!Quote:
