f13 mixtape #2: crime, cruelty, soft music.

[lamaros]

There was a lot of good stuff I'd never heard of...

Why didn't you put any of it in the mixtape then? 

[Samwise]

Because your mother's a whore.

Because your mother's a whore.

Why punish the present for the sins of the past? 

[Righ]

Some good stuff there, listening now. Thanks.

Obligatory here's what I submitted post:


Just in case you wanted to know what Samwise never wanted to hear again.  

(edit: missed one)
(edit 2: titles)

[MisterNoisy]

The second track is actually by Conjure One - the 'Metropolis' in the YouTube title is the name of the anime the footage was pulled from.

[schild]

Will fix that when I get home.

[IainC]

Sounds good, a pretty good mix. None of mine made it though.

[Mrbloodworth]

Quite sure the "never wants to hear again" was my submissions.

Here are a few:

[Righ]

My opinion of your music tastes just rose with the SGM tracks - but I suspect that Sam never wants to hear those again either.

Judging books by the cover and all that.

[ahoythematey]

Oooh, music!  Moterhead + the Cardigans?  I'm liking this.

[schild]

I'll play into your game, I submitted Revenge off Dark Night of the Soul, Rival [Acoustic] from MintJam, She Wants Revenge (which made the cut), and Blue Eyes from Silke Bischoff.

[MisterNoisy]

I like this one quite a lot.  Some stuff I didn't yet have that I'll have to fix soon.

My submissions:

[ahoythematey]

Wish I would've thought of Revenge, I really dig that whole album.

[Righ]

I dig that song more than most of the rest of the album sadly.

Pretty wholesale lift from Tangerine Dream - 3 AM At The Border Of The Marsh From Okefenokee on that FC Kahuna track. But I like.

Judging books by the cover and all that.

No, judging based on other music that you've posted.

[schild]

The other possible submission off that was Insane Lullaby, but I didn't want to use that particular card yet.

[fuser]

I keep my submissions short. I'll make sure to submit something with vocal's next time.

[Nevermore]

Death in Vegas and Gary Jules were two of my submissions.  I'll double check exactly what else I sent when I get home but I think I sent in Helter Skelter (The Beetles), Down By the Water (PJ Harvey), Gouge Away (The Pixies) and Into Dust (Mazzy Star).  I sent in a few others as well but I don't remember which ones offhand.

[Samwise]

There were a lot of songs that I anguished over not including, so at the risk of boring everyone I'd like to comment on stuff I liked that didn't quite make it in:

Obligatory here's what I submitted post:
Just in case you wanted to know what Samwise never wanted to hear again. 

Enter Sandman made it in without hesitation, and Bullets was actually in the next-to-final cut but when I listened to the album all together looking for one song to drop, I noticed that one was about half the volume of everything else, so it got the axe.  God's Away on Business was a strong contender; I think I listened to it half a dozen times.

Sounds good, a pretty good mix. None of mine made it though.

I really liked Driven Like the Snow, and had it in my first draft.  Wave of Mutilation and Psycho Killer were also strong contenders due to complete lyrical appropriateness.

Quite sure the "never wants to hear again" was my submissions.

Here are a few:

I actually had to think long and hard about Helpless Corpses Enactment.  I liked it on its own, but whenever I tried to put it next to other stuff it didn't mesh.  Also, I think half of what I liked about it was the video; once I put it on in the background I was less enamored of it.  Definitely liked it more than the giant block of GWAR. 

Oooh, music!  Moterhead + the Cardigans?  I'm liking this.

Moonlight Sonata was a hell of a good (and unexpected) pick; I had it as the first track of the first draft of the album.  I also dug Working Class Hero.


Pretty sure Nevermore didn't send in Helter Skelter, because it would have gotten into at least one of the early drafts by virtue of its Manson connotations alone.  (Or maybe it was one of the ones that had been yanked from YouTube by the time I got to it.)

I definitely sent it in.  I had an original list of around 8 or so songs, and then the next day I sent in Helter Skelter by itself.  It was after the original deadline but since Schild was still asking for submissions after the deadline I figured it should have been forwarded to you with the rest.

[Samwise]

It was probably one of the ones pulled from Youtube then.  As a Beatles song I think it'd be under the thumb of Sony, and they seem pretty aggressive about filing complaints.

I love Aesop Rock. Here's mine:


Edit: I was in the middle of inlining these links and it just reposted the original post, so sorry it's not all tidy and shit. I just don't have time to redo it.

[Righ]

Enter Sandman made it in without hesitation, and Bullets was actually in the next-to-final cut but when I listened to the album all together looking for one song to drop, I noticed that one was about half the volume of everything else, so it got the axe.  God's Away on Business was a strong contender; I think I listened to it half a dozen times.

I pegged both Bullets and Final Solution as being contenders as I think that they appeal to a fairly broad range of tastes. In actuality, the title song from Archive's most recent album Controlling Crowds would fit better with the mix title, but I wanted to show off the great video for Bullets, not just a couple of seconds of clip on repeat as in the Controlling Crowds track posted on YouTube. Likewise, this has the full track of SPQR, but I just had to show the fantastic footage attached to the short version that I posted. Pax Romana!

Final Solution had around 20 hits when I sent it in. It's up to around 100 now. TV on the Radio, Trent Reznor and Peter Murphy together covering a brilliant early Pere Ubu single. What's not to love?

[Samwise]

Yeah, I loved the SPQR video.     Even if the song was a little too... something... for me.

None of VDL's songs sound familiar to me at all.  Just in case I'm forgetful, I tried searching for some of the Youtube URLs in the list I was sent, and came up empty.  Shenanigans!

[Oban]

Hmm, three of mine made it this time.  Filter's Hey Man Nice Shot, Tricky's Puppy Toy and the Cardigan's Erase Rewind.

I am shocked you did not choose - バナナの電話

[Righ]

I love Aesop Rock. Here's mine:

Will listen once the lawnmowering outside has been abated. But Pictures of Matchstick Men for this theme? Doesn't follow to my mind even though its been around two decades since I heard it. I saw them at the Glasgow Apollo before it was demolished - from the bouncing balcony and all. Black Veils of Melancholy would have been more appropriate? And it sounds just the same. Even before they found their popular formula they were good at writing nearly identical songs.

Also if you're on a psych folk trip, you NEED to hear Sand Snowman.

[Samwise]

So YOU'RE the motherfucker.

[Nevermore]

This is likely.  I really wanted to submit Song of the Dispossessed by Dead Can Dance but good luck finding anything 4AD on Youtube.

[Ingmar]

Ingmar is putting together the next one btw.

Can someone point me to that album title/cover generator thing so I can play around with it til I come up with something good?

EDIT: Never mind, found it hiding in the spoiler on the first post.

Also, looks like I had 3 make the cut - Nick Cave, Cake, and the Raconteurs.

My full list:

Uhhh, theme? 

[Samwise]

Cake

  I think I may have literally cheered when I saw that one come up.  One of my personal favorite bands, and that song was absolutely perfect for the album.

[Ingmar]

That She Wants Revenge track is pretty sweet, I haven't heard that before.

EDIT: I quite like the Bitter:Sweet one too.

[Righ]

It had an entertaining video too if you feel so inclined:

Raconteurs, I like Jack, he's a great songwriter. Good tune. Nick Cave is a fucking retard who can't sing. Tricky: Love Tricky, but more his older stuff, he was working with some amazing drummers. The percussion on this track is pretty meh. I've got his Angels with Dirty Faces, some amazing drumming on that, and PJ Harvey :) Cat Power, I could get into that. Needs a couple listens.

Death In Vegas: The music is pretty meh, the VO was better when it was Black Sunshine. Another great VO guy is Rollins (Claypool's Delicate Tendrils, no tube).

I don't care if Cliff came back from the dead to remake Enter Sandman, there's never any reason to listen to that pile of shit song. Hey, why not put on Seek and Destroy if you're going for overplayed tripe by bands that have written amazing songs? The Filter song is another that's so overplayed it would be nice to never hear again.

Mad World is a great tune, I like Adam Lambert's version, heretical as that may be. One of only two American Idol songs I've bought (Cook doing Billy Jean is the other).

Whole lot of blah and generic stuff on there, though.
