Inspired by the newly shining sun and a new kitten calender I have on my wall, I've been tweaking a 60s/early 70s pop mix the last few days. I think most of you wouldn't like this, but I'm posting it anyway because it's cool and a drive through the country this afternoon with a beta-version of this mix was really GEAR. I'm still working on it and I'm open to suggestions. The Beach Boys track for example is iffy in my mind. I can't make up my mind and I can't use anything over 3 minutes and 15 seconds. This is the pussiest pop mix ever. The Yellow Balloon- Stained Glass Window Sagittarius- Song to the Magic Frog (Will You Ever Know?) Harry Nilsson- Cuddly Toy Billy Nicholls- Life is Short Hapers Bizarre- Me, Japanese Boy Curt Boettcher- Baby it's Real Roger Nichols and the Small Circle of Friends- Don't Take Your Time The Beach Boys- Don't Worry Baby The Strawberry Alarm Clock- Sit with the Guru The Merry Go Round- Time Will Show the Wiser Montage- She's Alone The Millenium- 5 AM The Inner Dialogue- Look at Me The Beatles- Martha My Dear The Palace Guard- Falling Sugar The Zombies- Tell Her No The Rotary Connection- Turn Me On Lothar and the Hand People- Comic Strip The Clique- Holiday Wendy and Bonnie- The Paisley Window Pane Mary Hopkin- Goodbye Duncan Browne- On the Bombsite Emitt Rhodes- Somebody Made for Me October Country- Good to Be Around The Peanut Butter Conspiracy- You Should Know The Monkees- Pleasant Valley Sunday Paul Williams- So Many People Pete Dello- There's Nothing I Can Do For You The Free Design- Kites are Fun If you're a part of the in-crowd and you're into this shit, I already uploaded it, . |

Downloadng actually. : ) |

downloading furiously. this looks like my kind of mix. care to do a twee one next? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
one of the mp3s had an annoying bubbly glitch -- i forget which since i deleted it -- but overall this mix is fun in the sun. the fact that you put of all the mp3s separate in the bag of goodness adds to my enjoyment. five rays of sunshine out of five. |
||||||||

Thankth for lithening, thweetheart (even though I altered the mix since then)! Yeah a couple of the mp3s were unspeakably awful quality, including one ripped from vinyl that sounded like it was from the Byzantine empire. I think I'll make a modern twee mix pretty soon, there was a ton of songs I kept wanting to put on here until I realized they were only a few years old. The tradition is still strong. |

downloading even though i have absolutely no clue on what those songs are. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i don't recognize a lot of those. some music store employee i am. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've been listening to this mix a lot, especially since i don't have much 'summer' music. i'm going to fav this topic and hope you post in here when that potential modern twee mix is finished so i'll be able to grab it right away. |

|
|
cool tunes, is there a suggested track order? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not really. That list up there is sort of like what I have on disc. The only logic is: A- The Yellow Balloon first because it's sort of a prototypical sunshine pop song, with the baroque influences and sing along part and the strings/piano, sets up the rest well B- The Free Design last because they're God's gift to pop C- and I spread out the ''darker'' songs (Inner Dialogue, which I know has horrible quality but it stays, Wendy and Bonnie, Montage)... so the clouds roll in on the mix for a break from the powerful UV rays every 15-20 minutes or so. |

Don't worry baby is one of my favourite songs! you can't leave that out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I left it in after all. It's one of my top 5 Beach Boys songs, I was only iffy because it's the oldest song on here and almost seems like it's from a different era from the rest, too pre-psychedelic. But it works anyway. I wanted to use Disney Girls but it's way too long. |

It's not old though, it's timeless! You can play that anytime and you are not transported back in time, it just makes you think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed, I just had to block the arbitrary numbers and genres out of my head, because the music itself fits, that's why it's there. (''timelessness'' doesn't matter amongst these songs anyway, that arguably works against it) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah, it's timeless, it's from everytime. |

mr. ophecks, mr. jay worth -- i am down and out :( please put together a new mix to brighten up my new environment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Make your own mix. No but seriously, make a mix, you're well versed in good indie pop, I like mixes, I can't just listen to my own. I just started making a late 90s/early 2000s mix a few minutes ago, I'll probably have it done tonight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would, but this computer is behind a firewall and thus has no access to soulseek. plus i always enjoy hearing something new to me. if you finish that mix please yousendit :( |

Holy shit, you're not Nacmat. Gravehurst should be Gravenhurst and I think I spelled Leizah wrong but I'm not sure and don't want to check |

hahahahahahha I was like... when did I post that? |

Gnarly, glad you like it. Are you an Essex Green fan? That ''Everything is Green'' reprise is pure magic, amazing that melody wasn't applied to a chorus until 1999. I listened to this today and the Nada Surf song sounded like a retarded inclusion, too frigid. Must be replaced, any ideas? I was thinking, if not Blonde on Blonde from the same Nada Surf album, a Beachwood Sparks or Olivia Tremor Control song or something. |

an olivia tremor control song might compliment of montreal. i'm not too sure, though, since i haven't listened to them in a while. i just remember all of them being part of the same elephant 6 group. |
