Oh right, it doesn't matter what language or nationality or whatever the song is in. In fact, a healthy mix of nationalities would probably result in something a lot more interesting.

Edit: Once I get enough music, I'll post the full track list in the top post and get rid of the rules so it'll be nice and clean.

I can't think of anything I'd want to listen to less than the horrid musical tastes of the people here.  :why_so_serious:

Way to have an open mind about it, turdburglar. The whole point is to introduce people to other stuff based on a possible theme.

Why so serious? I'll pm you something.

An email is fine too!

Your font sucks for readability, but I look forward to the results of this experiment.

My font is awesome and it's not always about readability. Next time, just for you, I'll do a version of just black Times New Roman on a blank white sheet. Maybe I'll make it size 72 also.
/me sneers.

Capital letters would be nice too while you're at it.

Should revive the album cover game thread to make the cover.

So, the theme is "Effect of a Habit"?

I love how since I didn't let the teeth gnashing happen over the songs that it's going to happen over the cover. Awesome.

Bloodworth, that's the name of the album.

Ok. Well i have made a list/link so... YAY!

EDIT: Also, looking up stuff to submit, makes me feel old.

Ok, seriously people, I've gotten 4 PMs now.

There's an email address. Here it is a second time:

f13mixtape AT gmail.com

What is this "E-Male" you speak of?  :uhrr:

So should we PM you the email or what?

i will harm you

Shift key.  It's right there.

 :grin:

submitted. by email even.

Any limit to number of song nominations per person?

Is there a limit on the number of songs people are submitting?

I wasn't planning on sending in hundreds, but I'm just wondering if you just want one per person, or whether 3 would still be ok.

You can send however many. Can't say I'll use them all, but you can certainly hedge your bets.

:awesome_for_real:
Sent a couple of obvious ones.

Sent in an Indie song and a soft industrial one.

E-mail sent, the PM was easier...

F13mixtapeitssoeasytojoinnothingforsomething

Well, I think my choices are good, they fit my interpretation of the "Effect of a Habit", however I may be the only person that knows why.

I could have made some crazier choices =)

 :ipod:

Schild will hate me after having to sort through my selection.  I only pulled from my stuff at work, too.

What the heck are you people doing to the poor guy? I sent in one.

See that ipod icon?  Yeah.

make sure that's the second theme that's tried

Chicken Dance it is then!

So are we supposed to send in music we feel fits the theme or "vibe" of the cover?  That's what I did.  Sweet cover by the by.

The themes from Sister Act 1 and 2?


Schild; when you post the track listing are you also intending to post who submitted what so that we can point and laugh properly appreciate who is opening us up to new experiences?

Nope! I has plans!

I have the Sawyer Song stuck in my head today.  I suppose I shouldn't send you that, though.

You didn't specify a number of songs to submit (unless I've gone blind), so I submitted six.

Poop!  I only submitted two, but I'm fairly sure that a vast majority of my music collection belongs nowhere near this theme.

Right now it's all over the map, which is what I was hoping for. MOAR PLZ.

This is f13, so SOME video game music has to make it in, right?

I nominate:

(1) Zeal overworld theme  (Crono Trigger)
(2) Light World overworld theme (Link to the Past)
(3) World of Ruin overworld theme (FF6)

EDIT:  I don't listen to music so I don't know where to find any of this. 

So I'm guessing "Devil Went Down to Georgia" isn't going to fly......... :awesome_for_real:

You don't get anything on there because you can't follow simple directions. And I love those tracks.

For the rest of you, game music is fine.

Sigh, fine.  I'll search and send em when I am not at work.

Blasphemy! "Still in Saigon" is obviously the best Charlie Daniels song.  :awesome_for_real:

No one said it wasn't.

I'm gonna have to do this today after I wake up. It's gonna be mostly chillout, mostly because that is what I'm listening to lately, and I think it goes with the cover.

I'm not sending him 6000 songs (also just my work machine, about half my collection).
South's Gonna Do It Again. Or maybe Uneasy Rider. Long Haired Country Boy was my theme song when I was younger.

Maybe I'll submit a couple more, I'm probably pretty far from most recommendations though it'll be hard to beat my first submission.

I was kidding.  I sent about ten.  Work's slow, and I have a large number of songs that fit the theme I developed in my head.

I'd say about 75% of the stuff I've gotten so far is incredibly heavy metal of some sort or another. Need more submissions. I have, however, gotten a lot of submissions, keep them coming.

It's time to put up or shut up Schild.  Release the hounds!

What the Christ??? I am totally PMing you my email now.

hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr wat.

My address is still working.

It's f13mixtape AT gmail.com not -----> f13mixtapes@gtmail.com with an 's' & 't'

Haha. WAP has typo.

This internets is hard.

Kinda like the plans you had with the top 20 games lists?

You eat my ass, hombre. Go troll neoGAF!

On a more serious note, one of the reasons I'm doing this by email is so I don't WANT to know who every submitter is. I know very few email addresses on f13. I'm not going to look them up for the final results. If people want to submit their secret shame, so be it, I won't know who submitted it anyway.

So, do you want commentary on each track, or do you just want us to send the links?

What? No, I don't need commentary. In fact, do not want commentary.

Still need moar. Mostly because, somehow (and admittedly unexpectedly), a handful of people submitted doubles and triples of songs. Meaning more than one person sent in the same song. Good thing? Right? Maybe? Anyway, more!  :drill:

Could you give a rough outline of the types of songs you have received so far? You mentioned earlier that you had mostly metal, and if it was still so, it would probably effect what I sent.

I sent decidedly non-metal! 

It's about 50% metal and about 50% so far removed from metal that I don't know how this is going to turn out. I'd break the rules and ask what inspired people to send in metal, but frankly, I don't want to know. :oh_i_see: Maybe I should've rerolled on the album title and not gotten something with the word habit in it.

I have gotten two emails with videogame music.

The lack of discussion over the title & cover has to have driven this into a funny direction with the metal.

Ed: - In fact, I hesitate to send anything at all not knowing if this is going in a Relationship, Drug-use, or some other "habitual" direction. Changes the songs you'd send a lot.

So just send whatever! It'll be enlightening!

Sent in mine. Light on the metal, which took some doing :)

There's no way you look at that album cover and send in all metal.  The people who are sending in metal likely listen to little else on the main (or didn't read the rules).

That album cover is a classic indie/britpop vibe.


Ultimately it doesn't really matter, except it defeats the purpose of having a cover and a title.

No that's a great idea.  Intersperse the songs with Schild Monologony.

real word?

No, but I like it.

I can dig it.

After going through my collection I got to the "G's" and had 34 potential songs between the different categories of habits and the potential story of the mix tape.  I'm not sending you 34 Youtube links/ MP3's, so a little direction would be nice to filter the selections.  :grin:

No, they weren't all metal.

Pick the best 5?

I'm zipping up the entire Kenny Loggins anthology for you right now.

Oh, exciting!

Please don't :|

f13 - 25% business in front.  25% party in back.

I've gotten about 70 suggestions total thus far, give or take 10. Wouldn't mind another 30 or 40 or so to round it out.

Once you've got everything in, it'd be interesting to see a list of all songs submitted (even those that didn't make the cut) and the number of times each got sent in.  Curious to see where the overlap is.

Does anyone even own a tape player anymore?

I even used mine not that long ago.

You know what happens when you ask me to do more work than what's necessary? It doesn't get done. Also, if I list all the stuff that was sent, it'll not work so great if people want to submit it on a future mixtape. So yea, I'd rather not do that.

This would be more fun if we capped the amount of time or submissions.  That way we could achieve a quicker turnaround.

I'm just going to cut you all off when I think I have enough. Also, that wouldn't be more fun. Having no warning of when time runs out is SO MUCH MORE FUN. :awesome_for_real:

I still like the idea of tiny excerpts between songs, like on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack.

Here's one for the haters

Monologony

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3662/3652502352_7702c56eb0.jpg?v=0)

I get that you're trying to make a badass mixtape.  I meant that people may be apt to lose interest with long turnaround times.  Not sure if you care.  But I think it would be utterly sweet if we kept this up, and started passing the baton off to others.  Then we could nerd it up with votes and discussion on who edited the greatest mixtape in terms of flow, content, and how well the music fits the theme.  

Go play a videogame and stop trying to make a whole production out of this that requires work. Imagine I'm poking you in the eyes with a fork right now.

I feel like capping submissions would equate to less work.  But if you're not that into my idea then that's cool.

Yep, I keep mine even though the CD player in it is broken. In fact, the only cd players I have are my pc and my truck.

But then, I was eyeing record players at a garage sale last week because I still have a lot of vinyl. Metal Massacre with Slayer's first track!

Anyone submit Katy Perry yet?

I think he asked for music.

Doh!

(In another thread, they're talking about the difference between film and movies. Is that like pop and music?)

schild's a big enough fan of Katy that he doesn't need other people to send him links to her music  :awesome_for_real:

Here's my song pick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4A50EHwCjY

(Some astute readers will remember why this is apt and hilarious.)

Is it the Futurama reference?

Vibe out on this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTod6ecTzUg

You posted the wrong video of that song.  Here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crnFCdunguA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crnFCdunguA)

LOL.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqGnsP4wOf0

No, this (http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1613494).

Hey, I just had an idea.  We've got that f13 referral link that gives f13 money if we buy stuff through it, right?  And Amazon has digital downloads for individual songs, right?  Would it be possible to set up a referral link that hooks you up with all the songs in the f13 mix tape as a one-click operation, giving f13 a small cut of all those sales?  I would probably click such a link.

If that is not possible, Amazon and/or iTunes should get on that shit.

You can make lists of songs that people can buy all at once on both Amazon and iTunes but I don't know if you can stick your affiliate ID in that list on Amazon.

I will look into this.

In two hours, I'm locking this. FINAL WARNING! ^_^

Does this mean it's almost ready?  Whee!

MAYBE

Gonna try and have this done by tomorrow night. The mix of songs is out there.

There are so many more songs than I first thought >_<

Just short of 200.

Let's set the final date for this coming monday. I want to listen through all of them.

There were less than 20 on the list I'd heard before. Thanks for that.

I'm unlocking this for you all to make fun of my inability to listen to this many songs.

I remembered one right after you locked the thread, Stevie Ray Vaughan - Life By The Drop.

TOO LATE, HOMBRE

Nod, wasn't asking for it to be put it, just slapping my forehead.

That's still around 13-14 hours of music, which is a fair amount. Looking forward to seeing the end result of this.

This will be fun!

How is this going to be delivered in the end?A Download Or a huge list of Youtube links? or what?

While not condoning piracy, maybe everyone should send schild a mp3 of the songs they listed, and he can just bundle it in a zip file.

 :grin:

I'm guessing it will be Youtube, thus the requirement for links.

Should be interesting trying to figure out who submitted what. I would've said SRV was submitted by me!

My submissions were a bit of a stretch in trying to meet the theme of the mixtape.  :why_so_serious:

They made sense in my head though.

I didn't even spend this fucking long on the mixtapes I made for my girlfriend who dumped me in highschool.  Way to ruin a sweet idea.    :Love_Letters:

Shut up, you will get your shirt when it is ready.

I've been lurking with bated breath. Next tape needs more nihilism. :P

Looking forward to the final cut.

Stop sending more stuff! I don't need more!

Emails are being deleted!

Does this come with a complimentary comprehensive compilation list of the best games evar?  :why_so_serious:

Just to let you all know, I've widdled it down by about 140 songs, going over the last 60 again. Some popular stuff made the cut just because it worked.

That said, the first thing I did was copy every single link and song title to a notepad document out of email in no particular order, that is, It was sorted by subject rather than date, so if none of your songs make it, I don't even know what songs people submitted as all the emails got archived and I've only been working from one giant list.

For one of the songs that made the cut, I was linked to a version with jarring sound effects from the attached movie.

I apologize way in advance, but I've relinked it to an anime fan video with no other sound playing over the track. Hahahaha. :|

Edit: Also, there's no way for me to know, but some of you may have gotten more than one song on it.

Sweet. I'm pretty excited to see the final listing.  :awesome_for_real:

Done!

Decided to go for one CD, just under 70 minutes which will let people resubmit for the second one should they decide to. Also, there weren't enough songs on point to do another whole CD.  :grin:

Edit: Finishing the art, will post in a few minutes.

Oh hot damn! 

First post updated!

Wow, I may not remember games from the early eighties, but five of those songs are from my suggestions!

This is somewhat surprising and not planned.

Edit: That said, I looked up one song, the Carla Bruni song, which had set the tone for the whole thing and you had sent it in. So, I suppose it's not particularly shocking. That said, a lot of these songs were sent in more than once. Anyway, thanks!

I didn't get any, but that's not surprising considering I was stretching to make songs fit.  :oh_i_see:

Haha, six!

I just went through the archive and looked. You sent two emails with 10 songs a piece from totally varying genres (edit: and a day apart no less!). You hedged your bets! It's like buying 10% of the raffle tickets to win some pot luck dinner! Sneaky! Of course, if you want me to post some of your songs that DIDN'T make the cut, I'd be happy to.  :awesome_for_real:

True, but no metal!

I sent the top ten played from my iPhone and then the top ten played from my laptop, I think.

So you're saying that it's largely your fault that this thing sounds like the soundtrack to a two hour long Oil of Olay commercial?

Not my six, blame someone else!   :ipod:

I'm so surprised none of mine made the cut.

I blame schild's cover image.  At least I'll have something to listen to if I ever feel like scrubbing myself down with a loofah while taking a bath, after lighting some scented candles.

Could the album *be* any more emo? :awesome_for_real:

My Madrugada made the cut.

Norwegian downer rock for the win :)

 

I submitted nothing. Looks like I would have wasted my time if I had tried, anyway.

Very surprised by the results; a lot of what I would describe as low-key songs. Kind of relaxing, actually. Thanks for this.

I didn't get any in, but not surprised as I only sent in 3.

Also, I was more trying to fit the album art, rather than the title... Was that wrong?

Having looked up what you sent in, the second song was in one of the last groups before it got filtered out.

Easily. Hell, this album art isn't even particularly emo.


One of your songs lasted until the final batch but it got cut. Also, stop bitching and moaning.

Sweet.  Two of my songs made it.  I feel like I did just after killing Ragnaros.  A surge of excitement followed by emptiness.  I WON THE GAME.

Also, I have to give props to Schild for not fagging this up with a bunch of metal.  Nothing against metal in particular, but it would have made this little game completely pointless.  You don't see too many metal album covers like the one he made.

Don't mean to bitch and moan, and I don't really care that none of my songs were picked.  It's just the final product is... not what I was expecting when you were talking about how you've got 200 submissions and that they're "all over the map".  You said you wanted people to interpret for themselves how their submissions would fit in with the title and cover, but then with the final selection you picked one song that set the tone as you say, and then presumably picked other songs that fit with that (not surprisingly resulting in one person accounting for a third of the songs picked). 

That's great for what it is, and I think it's cool what you did here and I look forward to you doing more, but might I suggest doing the next one in two parts?  Initial submissions done just like you did here, and then a second round where you post up the song you think best fits the tone you want (the Carla Bruni song in this case), and then saying "ok guys, this is what we're looking for, send more stuff like this", so we aren't wasting our time sending in rock songs for a hip hop mix or whatever.

wow, I so did not get that we had to tailor the songs to the album cover -schild- provided! I did this on half a cup of coffee at 7 am on a Saturday.


When I read that, I misunderstood. I though yours was an example of something you wanted to have contributed!

 

The album cover, name, and band name was randomly generated from that thread Fabricated made a while ago.

-schild- didn't have anything to do with that part.

Edit: Now I know why you attached an image I didn't download. :ye_gods: Sorry if that was unclear.

I got two but one (Wish You Were Here) was probably sent in by multiple people.

I'm kind of surprised that One Way fit the final selection by the way, I also sent in Afraid of Sunlight by Marillion that I would have thought was a better match.

Time to do it again, with a cover pic and title that promotes a better mixtape.  :why_so_serious:

Tried creating a Spotify playlist out of the final songs, btw - but could only find 15 out of 19 songs. Anyway; The playlist (http://open.spotify.com/user/xoduz/playlist/6hEnysDT12ktzim8IPwmqX) (requires Spotify, obviously).

EDIT: Any chance we could see the entire list of submitted songs, schild?

I think this just goes to show how interpretation is wildly subjective. Nothing of mine got in, but props anyway to schild for running an interesting diversion. I look forward to the next attempt at this.

I nixed that before I even started putting the list together.

Just ask people what they put up.

I love you. Yes, I'm drunk, but I love you, man.

I didn't think anyone besides me and one RL friend listened to Levellers and Marillion.

Listened to this, like most of it and I most of it was new to me. The only song I skipped over was the Baushaus one because listening to him was giving me a headache.

I know it's too late... but I would have suggested:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuOmsGXznHU

Everyone else understood your instructions. Should say 'Sorry you're a dingbat'.

Ha!  Apparently my attempt to overwhelm the selection process did not work.  Giving it a listen as I can.

Seriously. It has nothing to do with none of my selections being picked, but, this list is horrible. Most of the songs make me want to stab my ears out. I am sure someone will enjoy it, but wow. Not what I was expecting at all. The only effect of a habit I hear in this is introspective "no one understands" tripe. Perhaps it should have been called "Songs to kill yourself by".  :why_so_serious:

Meh, next one I hope will be better.

How ironic. :oh_i_see:

Im not sure if none of mine got in because they didnt fit, or because I totally fail at following directions and didnt include a link to the songs.

Awesome, thanks. Spotify rules.

And thanks for reminding me of Levellers. It has been almost fifteen years. :-)

Sweet...1 song I have ever even heard of, much less actually heard. I am obviously far too old for this project.

Thanks for putting that together. Some old favourites, and some great tracks I'd not heard before (gonna have to listen to some more DJ Shadow I think). I had to skip 'The Streets' as that guy annoys the crap out of me.

Just don't listen to the outsider it's not anything like anything he released before(aka garbage). Look into psyence fiction by Unkle (it's a lot like endtroducing).

Thanks, I'll take a look - I'm currently working my way through 'The Private Press' on spotify, and definitely like so far.

The Spotify playlist is marked as "collaborative", by the way, so those of you who A) use the program and B) submitted songs that didn't get included can add them to the playlist there if you want :)

Quite a few people, I would imagine (myself included) not least because they both reached their commercial peaks at around the same time. I'd be more likely to suggest a Fish-era Marillion song though. The lass on the railroad track might well be a White Russian, racing the clouds home.  :grin:

I submitted one song. It made the grade.

I think this mixtape is awesome and reflects a lot of time spent by Schild.  While I don't subjectively love every song, I can objectively appreciate the cohesion and mood, as well as most of the artists.  I had some friends over the other day and was playing the playlist, and they all commented on how sweet the play list was, and kept asking which bands were what.  And they were from diverse socio-economic backgrounds!

Wow. Not what I expected at all. Good playlist.

I dig it. Definitely in the relaxing/chill category, but it seems lik great coding music. Thanks for putting this together.

Anyone who has a song on the list want to own up? I like a very small number of them and would like to know who I should listen to when people talk about music in the future!

You should just say which one's you liked, and then let those people come forward as they will.

But I also want to know which people I shouldn't listen to...

Ok, who put up Acid House Kings and AC Newman?

Eva Cassidy would have been a good fit for this mixtape.

I don't understand your post. You didn't submit any of that.

When does the new game start? 

In a week or two.

Are we listing what didn't make it now? :headscratch:

Consider them submitted for next time. I just wanted to post some songs cuz I felt left out.  :oh_i_see:

Email songs when the next time comes around.

Okay, I can do that.

I missed this, though since there's no actual place for music discussion on f13, it wasn't hard to do. Hopefully next time I'll be paying attention.

I gathered that people submitted songs via email, but were they just sending youtube links or mp3s or what?

They sent youtube links, for the most part.

This no doubt made it easy and legal, but fuck I HATE youtube for actually trying to listen to this.

Can you put together an album or mix tape like this using singles from Amazon?  You might even be able to pick up a partner kickback.  I know I'd buy a copy.

I'll look in the affiliate stuff tonight or tomorrow and see.

Fair enough, that just limits my future submissions a touch drastically (90% of the time I'm looking for a music video on youtube it doesn't exist these days) but I appreciate the need to keep it all above board.

Also, Youtube has started disabling audio on many of the videos due to copyright infringement. I can't find half of what I'd want to use.

If all else fails you can always upload it yourself.  (You see a lot of this for songs that don't have official music videos; some fan will make a video that's basically a slideshow of album art with the song in the background and upload it.)  If it's something obscure enough that it doesn't have a real music video on YouTube it's probably also obscure enough that the copyright holder isn't out there hunting down its fans for stuff like that.

This was the problem I had as well.  Either Youtube doesn't have it or they used to and later deleted it.  I misinterpreted what Schild was going for anyway, so in hindsight it doesn't really matter.  I can think of 4 or 5 songs off the top of my head right now that would fit in very well with what Schild selected this time around, but they aren't songs that I would have submitted originally.

I don't think schild himself knew what he was going for until a bunch of the submissions were in.  Them's the breaks.

So when are we going to do the next one?  And is schild going to do it or are we going to take turns?   :grin:

You'd think so, but the audio is disabled for plenty of "videos" of old, random songs. I was thinking we could just use one of those My Flash Fetish (http://www.myflashfetish.com/) (ignore the name, it's not bad) sites that lets you make little mp3 player widgets and searches all over the web for mp3s.

For example, here's that Wendy Rene version of After Laughter (http://www.myflashfetish.com/mp3-search.php?query=wendy+rene) I was looking for but couldn't find on Youtube. You just have to click the play button on the song to hear the whole thing, or you can click "add to playlilst" and make a cute little widget mp3 player with other songs.

Then you can link to it externally (http://www.mixpod.com/playlist/24879612) or embed the code (into a blog or a social networking site). The code button doesn't seem to do anything here.

Nobody said you had to use Youtube.  It was just the quickest and dirtiest approach for most people.

I liked this

Ok, but are you just saying that because you have a gun pointed at your head?

Say 'no', Soln.

this was not the mixtape I was expecting.  It was very "mature" in a lot of ways.  And several tune/artists I had never heard of.  I liked it.

Carry on.

I have terribly random taste, so I'm satisfied with just sitting on the sidelines and reaping the benefits of everyone else's hard work.
