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]

Hopefully no jazz anyway.

This I can confirm

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 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!
Will probably go with the panic approach in the end as well.

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.

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.

thanks.

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

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!

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.'

Culture people it's culture!

[noby]

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

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.

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.
