Heartlessbitch Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 so i know we've all done it at one time or another, made a mixed tape for somone (or in modern times, a burned compilation cd) or even made on for ourselves, to fit our given mood, or a compilation of songs from a certain time, or what not, or the popular kind of mix tape, a compilation of songs for a certain person so i'm going to pimp out the indie magazine where they shared some celebrity mixed tapes (that i will be using to kick off this thread before i get into my own) www.bust.com damn cool magazine, mostly for feminist chicks (hey no rude comments from the peanut gallery) but really cool nonetheless... on par with Bitch the first one is by Carrie Brownstein from Sleater-Kinney (and if you don't know who Slater-Kinney is, download them some time) Title: The shocking echo of a young pairs in a midnight love. 1) "Send me a postcard"---> Shocking Blue 2.) "Keep your hand on the plow" ---> Mahalia Jackson 3.) "Tell me when my light turns green"--> Dexy's Midnight Runners 4.) "You"---> Au Pairs (i won't go on, but you get the general idea) post away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLeakyBucket Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 I'm currently creating a mix tape for some random dude I got paired with in my uni indie music society. Here's the tracklisting: Side 1 Bionic - Little Nixon China Drum - Wuthering Heights (cover) Joie/Dead Blonde Girlfriend - 17(Epilogue) Tetra Splendour - De-Rail Major Matt Mason USA - Rockstar David Kitt - You know what I want to know McLusky - To hell with good intentions Beachbuggy - Kicking back Devo - Jerking back and forth Filler: Bill Hicks Side 2 Live on Release - Hardcore Lemon Jelly - In the bath Nirvana - Sappy (acoustic) Pixies - Alec Eiffel Snow Patrol - Last of the lone gunman Utah Saints - Sick Frigid Vinegar - Jesus Presley Superstar Ten Benson - I don't buy it Deltron 3030 - Positive Contact Filler: Chris Morris (Blue Jam) - 4ft Car Its kinda obscure but it is made for someone with obscure music taste already. p.s Sleater Kinney are excellent. DL anything from 'All hands on the bad one'. "Your no rock and roll fun Like the party thats over before its begun...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Yeah, are we just listing mix tapes we've made/received? Mellanious (posted once, youll never see her again) used to make me a lot of classic rock/industrial ones, ive made a rap/r&b one for her in the past. Ive also made some good techno ones for DJ Ario X, consisting of Underwolrd, DJ Shadow, Chicane, Chemical Brothers, Goldie, Sasha, etc. Spiffytee recently sent me the soundtrack compilation to Ruroni Kenshin/Samurai X, that was really cool.

Freebird Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 hmmm... i have some pretty good playlists on my comp at home, so when i get home i'll contribute to this thread... i got some pretty good emo/screamo mixes that no one would care about, but i'd still like to mention anyways.

JunkerSeed Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Well, I burned a cd for one of my friends when he was in the hospital. Was a good mix, had "another one bites the dust" and "who wants to live forever" by queen "all fucked up" by everclear "I'm broken" by pantera and similar stuff, topped off with "always looks on the bright side of life" by monty python.

MyLeakyBucket Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I still think tapes are more fun than CDs because you can add some very random filler at the end of the sides. The Bill Hicks filler on my recent tape was brilliant, the sketch with the solitary line...."looks like we got ourselves a reader" Emo/screamo, bands or genres of music? Emos almost as bad as pop.....oh no my girlfriend left me and I'm a rather sensitive individual...... While I'm in rant mode, I determined that you could write an Everclear song with the following lines: I was only nine years old She topok too many pills and drank too much booze My daddy left me My parents didn't care about me generally Life's quite difficult really See...bingo!

The NZA Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Haha...you can do a girly song with half those lyrics. Try writing a spears song with only "love", "boys", "misunderstood", "little", few others and some prepesitions. Itll be a chart-topper. Also, Heartless once observed you can write parts of a Chilli Peppers song with any 2 words. ..mud flap! ...rim job! ..crap shack! and so forth.

Freebird Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 just out of curiousity, what kind of bands do you consider emo.... just trying to find the logic in this all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 (edited) most of the "emo" bands that have come out mainstream really are just as bad as pop, i'd have to agree with you on that one... but what im referring to are the bands who have been around before all of this commercialized shit emerged and totally bastardized the whole scene. and honestly, authentic and genuine emo/screamo isn't even like that, so im not quite sure as to where you got the idea that all they talk about is how sensitive they are, and how some chick left them... prolly some over played dashboard shit. most people share the view that emo is pretty darn corny now because of the crap that is being passed off as emo, seems as if anything can fit into that category now. this was just some little trend, that people thought 'cool', that caught on and brought along with it some generic people trying to make a pretty penny. eventually all this crap will go under some rock and die, but until then, there will be crap that is labeled as 'emo' but really is just shit wrapped in pretty wrapping paper. this also is kinda like how the whole 'punk' thing emerged to be cool and how everyone started to think they were punk because they listened to good charlotte and because some dumb ass told them it was punk. theres always gonna be dumbasses that ruin it for everyone else.

The NZA Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Ok, now the word's been dropped enough for me to be interested/annoyed. Junker has sworn by it in the past, so lets start gettin some names: who makes up the emo scene to you, what's so great about it, etc - the only name ive seen is good charolette or whatever and that's only been in bashing. In almost any music scene, i can name artists and particular songs you should try out to get a feel for it - often i can even name one youve heard of, but not necessarily. Granted this area sounds a lot smaller, but let's hear some defense. ps is screamo a local sub-genre, like how people break techno up into trance, trip-hop, break beats, drum & bass, jungle, etc?

Freebird Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 (edited) damnit i hate it when this subject comes up... this is the only time i notably argue with anyone, cause most of it is a fucking matter of opinion. you want a list, okay here is your list - the beautiful mistake - fugazi - black heart procession - norma jean - sunny day real estate - beneath the ashes - glassjaw - refused - red top road - from autumn to ashes - somehow hollow - thrice if anyone wants to get really anal, these would better be classified as emo/screamo/hardcore :plain: Edited February 13, 2003 by Freebird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 (edited) ps is screamo a local sub-genre its more like a mixture between hardcore and emo... a more mainstream example would be poison the well, cursive or thursday Edited February 13, 2003 by Freebird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Emo for me: Fugazi (who I confess to liking however) Jimmy Eat World Rival Schools Alkaline Trio New End Original That sort of thing. I like some of it I just think it gets boring quickly. Luckily us English haven't been subjected to much Dashboard Confessional Its just a funny sort of music genre because its like Nu-Metal as in 'to get tagged it is death'. Still curious about Emo/Screamo though?? Can't say I know any of the bands you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 (edited) lucky english folks :P ... dashboard overkill in the us we have little 12 year-old girls running around saying "im emo im emo, i love dashboard confessional... :ill: yeah it is sort of like the kiss of death to be labeled it, but most of the underground scene, is where you'll find the good shit. the only stuff that gets boring is the stuff on mainstream play, but they will eventually fade away due to the fact that, like all trends, it has to end sometime (just hopefully soon).

JunkerSeed Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I dont quite remember swearing by emo... but some of it's good I think Jimmy eats world is cool, very bubblegum pop catchy stuff, in a good way. Julianna theory is great, heartless turned me on to "Emotion is dead" and thats a great cd Alkaline trio is good stuff too, have a couple of mp3s and I saw em at warped tour. Oh, and I'm like the only person on earth that kinda likes dashboard. I got a cd worth of the older versions of the stuff, and it ain't bad at all. And they dont get played much here in miami at all, emo barely exists in miami; it's all about shit numetal over here, but the few times I've heard em on the radio they turn a halfway decent acoustic song into this horrible full band studio shit.

The NZA Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Wow, Birdy loves the music so much but gets her panties in a bunch when you ask bout it "Here's your goddamn list, you unoworthy fuck!" Junker got me listenin a bit to Jimmy Eat World, but of your list (are those mostly local names?) i know Sunny Day Real Estate, heard "Killed by an angel" and was lookin more into their stuff. Ok so ill ask someone else before Birdy busts an ovarie or somethin, what exactly constitutes hardcore? Everyone says different shit, im gettin tired of the subgenre game...and dont just say "Rage".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 (edited) Wow, Birdy loves the music so much but gets her panties in a bunch when you ask bout it "Here's your goddamn list, you unoworthy fuck!" no ic, my panties ain't in no bunch... it's just i get annoyed cause im usually fairly nice, except when it comes to this subject and when people say something about a genre of music that they don't really know about. like im not gonna go off and badmouth trance or rap for that matter, cause i honestly have no defense and don't know much about that genre to say anything in the first place. i mean if someone doesn't know about something, it's better to ask then to speak without a clue. see im not mad... .... in case you missed it, here it is again Edited February 14, 2003 by Freebird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 are those mostly local names their not local, some are on westcoast, some are based in the eastcoast. their big names in the underground scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 As far as I've known, Hardcore is a bit like numetal, just a bit rougher, louder. Coal chamber, soulfly, korn, deftones. I have no real clue though, thats just what I've always considered hardcore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Jesus, whatever happened to being just rock or alternative? So hardcore is when youre hard rock but youre not metal, i take it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I beleive so. Now metal is a very very specific genre. But anyways, I think the subgenre thing is dumb if you take it seriously at all. These terms work decently as descriptions, not as classifications.
