I'm making a mix of a variety of stuff...mouse on mars, avalanches, radiohead, etc. and i need some really downbeat (but not sleepy) and or nice summer driving music...I usually make weird mixes, but i'm going to let my friends listen to this in their cars, so i'm trying to make it somewhat fun..any suggestions besides nightmares on wax (not too into them, though ill prolly put one or two tracks) ..any upbeat or other tracks would be nice too, thanks!

Wagon Christ's Musipal album on Ninja Tune is basically summer on a disc.
Also, some nice jazz kissed techno and drum'n'bass can be orgasmically laid back.

"Pollo Asado" is the name of it! Fucking hilarious! "Hi....I would like a chimichanga with a basket of chips..."
"On my quesadilla I want guacamole...."
Other good songs from "The Pod" are, Pork Roll Egg And Cheese, Molly, Captain Fantasy, Mononucleosis, Sketches of Winkle, Demon Sweat, Can You Taste Waste?, Right To The Ways and Rules of The World, Dr. Rock, She Fucks Me.....

great suggestions..that ween skit is funny..i love boards of canada very much so..perhaps i'll get some plone on this mix..Hmmm...one more question....I wanted to give my mix variety, but i threw in 3 radiohead bsides and amidst a clatter of cylob and fantastic plastic machine, it seems to not fit, yet it's such good songs...talk show host, permenant daylight, polyethelene....should i put some guitar-ish stuff like that, or stick to instrumental & groovy shtuf?

ROSS: you can put Sublime on there! Its guitarish stuff.. with some scratching.... acustic guitars and shit. Its amazingnly chilled! Please.. put it on. Its PERFECT summer musix.

of course i know sublime, i've never been a HUGE fan of them though..pretty good stuff..i use to dislike date rape (the song) until i knew the ACTUAL aim behind it, which was to promote the stupidity of people who do this (not to approve it)

hmm, it just seems like if you're chilling with your friends on a nice summer night, "weird" electronic music just feels akward to have as background music (since it's mostly instrumental and has all those blips and bleeps heh :), unless your tripping of course or just really fucked up and incoherent. though, a healthy blend of this and something with ryhmes or vocals works quite well to fill the sonic atmosphere. try stuff from anticon, jedi mind tricks, anti-pop consortium, or quasimoto. quasimoto is the shit btw; check out the song loop digga. these tunes carry fresh, thoughtful lyrics and rhymes while combining electronically-influenced beats on many of their tracks. do check this stuff out..

There are also a few songs from King Cobb Steelie's "Junior Relaxer" that you should check out as well Ross. There is one song with some killer old school ambient scratching and sampling....good funky shit.....

the single off their new album annoys me..it seems like a take on triphop, but still too commercial and grating for its own good..

Kid Loco, Kruder + Dorfmeister and Fila Brazillia are probably my 3 favourite downbeat music artists.
Also check out guidance, ninjatune and statra who all put out really interesting downbeat music.

[some not-too-dismal portishead maybe? and something by autechre for sure, maybe sometning more melodic like rae...i always feel very zoned out but focused when drane2 by ae is on too, brilliant track...and i know its cornball....but underworld is great driving music, especially aquatic stuff that stays upbeat like cherry pie or something. blowout by radiohead might be good too....thats kindof random though]

oh, the new mogwai album is pretty chill too if you are looking for some guitar stuff. album is "rock action"
also, check out source direct very soundtrack sounding drum and bass stuff. maybe i already posted that though... hmmm little edgy though.

This might be too much of an obvious suggestion but I'll say it just in case you don't know that Selected Ambient Works by the AFX is very chilled out. Um yeah boards of canada, I've got both of the DJ Shadow albums and they are both fucking cool. But most will probably agree that Endtroducing is better than Preemptive Strike.
You might want to check out Can (pretty much broken up but one of the man lead singers to have been and gone, Damo Suzuki, I have written to and he is a nice dude.) Can's Tago Mago album is still one of my favourite all time albums, most of ther stuff is from the 1970's but don't be put off, they don't sound ANYTHING like you have ever heard before.
'Godspeed you black emperor!' (Yes that is the band's name) have released some very wicked stuff. If you buy 'Lift yr. skinny fists like antennas to heaven' which is their latest album take some advice and listen to the whole lot before you start jusdging it. All in all the double album ony has four tracks but they last about 40 minutes or so, they morth and change a hel of a lot.
John McEntire is one of the founders of Tortoise, follow all the stuff he has been in an you will find that he is definitly the brains beind a lot of projects he's done, he's done a lot, follow him and you an't really go that wrong (In my opinion).
You might want to check out tool though admitidly I only heard the last track of the Lateralus album at a mates house. It was amazing though, some people here can probably give you some much more detailed info on what they like but the are definitly worth looking into. Actually I think it was the hidden track on Lateralus. I JUST CAN'T SHUT THE FUCK UP TODAY!
Hope that's enough, I'm going to go and flood another ubject with diarea I hope I helped.

The King Cobb Steelie thing...ya well...Junior Relaxer came out in like '94. Since then their music has been poop. I'm not even gonna bother giving their latest stuff a listen cuz I dun really care about them at all anymore...Hey Ross, Squarepusher is playing Sonar on Saturday...I was wondering if you were going to this show...ticket price is a little steep, but for some "different music to hit a Vancouver venue", it might be worth it.....I was thinking of going...let me know email me back if you wanna check it out!
