I love this...I was looking at my bookshelf and put in what i thought was a recent compilation of songs i like currently, but it was actually a much older one...It's so nice to remember all of these songs I've forgotten about, right now I have Port Rhombus on my headphones...anyone do this besides me, or am I weird? |

Do what? make mix tapes or put your headphones on? you're being sooo vague at the moment, are you okay? |

Finding old mixes, I meant. Sorry, i'm a little off today. |

no, that's the best thing about making mixes, especially if they are chronologically relevent, I mean if they represent some part of your life... I put a tape in the other day and it was all these plaintive emo indie rock bands, from my first year away at my old college, it was quite moving and emotional to listen and reminisce actually |

Mmm the thing I love is when i dig up ones with songs that i don't even have anymore...I have buzz caner on right now, I trashed the incomplete version I had a long time ago. |

Do you think this whole Mp3 thing is spoiling the 'mixtape' thing? If someone gave me a tape of tracks they like I'd play them all, now I'll listen to 5% of it as you can give sooo much media at the moment. |
||||||||

Nah, as long as you burn a short cd of maybe a dozen tracks I still think people will listen, even though you could bombard them with mp3's online. |

Cool! I've got a really short attention span. If a group can't get me off in 45 minutes I'm bored, Groups + mixtapes, anything more is just silly. One of my favourite albums is 'computer welt' by kraftwerk, it'ts 26 minutes long! They said soooo much in that time! |

mixmaking is a precious lost art I think. some people still do it and I am one of them. but most people don't want to invest that energy I guess, I mean to care enough to trade mixes. so sad! if anybody wants to trade mixes via mail, in spite of the outrageous postage, let me know! |

I used to give this girl I knew mixes of IDM stuff (aphex and squarepusher, stuff like that) last year...it was fun having people tell you they like what you like. |

Have you seen the film 'hi-fidelity'? he explains the mix tape philosophy well. An Album should be like that for me, a personal selection of tracks that mean something. I know people don't agree but a selection of 'DSP' odd granular time signatures etc. for 14 hours isn't fun to me. All the DSPthings can be used for emotions rather than technical wizadry. AE do a few and Aphex has done some nice ones,....but which songs/tracks would you give a girl to get them interested in IDM and you? |
||||||||

i never made mix tapes/cd's i do like to dig up old ass albums i haven't listened to in years.. like all that sweet sweet grunge. |

Mm...happy Aphex Twin stuff like fingerbib, alberto balsalm, flim (she liked flim a lot)...squarepusher iambic 5 poetry, some telefon tel aviv...no autechre though, doesn' treally work unless she is a real gem. |

jivverdicker: boards of canada is seductive stuff, and it's a nice transition into IDM cos it's pretty accessible for most people yarr, I hate the term "IDM" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah definately Flim!! such a good track you'd have to put Mookid too, and then BoC would be "beautiful place in the country" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think i had mookid on a mix once...and the intro track to AB5 |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yeah, I still have pretty much every ''mix'' I've ever done... under my bed, there's a Metallica ''Black Album/Justice for All'' mix from when those were their only two albums that I had back in grade 9, heh. |

||||||||
