Make me a tiny mix tape!!!
 

If I asked you to make a tiny mix tape for me, what would you put on it? I know there are some diverse musical tastes on this forum, so I'm curious!

oldies!

(see, I didn't ignore your post) ;) -ptth-

You are the one true otter. :)

So what songs?

For me now.. it would be.

Nas - I can
Eminem - Invasion
Jay Z - Watcher 2
Nas - Warrior
E. Badu(SP?) FT. Common - Love of my Life


Well you will have to like rap music I guess to like my tiny mixtape. ;)

I don't hate rap music at all.

Thank you. :)

Since most of my CD collection is 80's "alternative" stuff, I'd make you a mixer of smaller, unknown bands that still sound good today. I used to make these tapes all the time for friends, but I lost interest somewhat back in '91 when it became a lot easier to find/hear alternative music.

Stuff like the Woodentops, Lucy Show, Rain Parade, Chameleons,
Hunters & Collectors, etc. If you really want a CD like this just email me!

Sure! I'm always willing to listen to new (or different) stuff!

Based upon what I've been listening to lately...

Phish "Pebbles & Marbles"
The Gourds "Ants on the Melon"
The Roots feat. Cody Chesnutt "The Seed (2.0)"
Josh Joplin Group "Siddharthas of Suburbia"
Badly Drawn Boy "40 Days, 40 Fights"
Bob Dylan & the Rolling Thunder Revue "Tangled Up in Blue"

The Cars: "All Mixed Up"
The Delfonics: "La La Means I Love You"
Dr. Demento: "Fish Heads"
Alan Jackson: "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" (9/11 tribute song)
Kid Rock: "Only God Knows Why"
Avril Levigne: "Sk8er Boi"
New Radicals: "I Hope I Didn't Just Give Away The Ending"
Ryan Adams: "Losering"
Jay Farrar: "Voodoo Candle"



:D

You jerk! All those songs suck! :)

Hey, I really like "Losering" ('tho it's by Whiskeytown, not Ryan Adams). "Where Were You (When They Built the Ladder to Heaven)" (or whatever it's called) is one of the worst songs I've ever heard though...

I don't think she's ever even heard the real song, but they did such a good job making Alan Jackson look like an opportunistic ass on South Park that I just had to include it.

Although I'm not a fan of Ryan Adams (or a lot of his Whiskeytown stuff), I can be convinced that quite a few songs on Stranger's Almanac were actually pretty good (Houses on the Hill, especially)... "Losering" isn't one of them.

"Losering" is my absolute least favorite song Whiskeytown has ever done. Ever.

Kelly Osbourne - Shut Up
Avril Lavigne - Skater Boi
Andrew W.K. - It's Time To Party
Jennifer Lopez - Jenny From The Block
Nick Carter - Do I have to cry?

You cant get better than those classics :up:

Colplay - Amsterdam
Air - You Make it Easy
Doves - There Goes The Fear
Badly Drawn Boy - Disillusion
Interpol - Leif Erikson

All are pretty mellow and not rocking at all....

1. Art of Noise - Dreaming in Colour
2. Supergrass - Za
3. Suede - Cool Thing
4. Pet Shop Boys - London (Westbam in Berlin mix)
5. Mouse on Mars - Mykologics
6. Ash - Warmer than Fire
7. Catatonia - Dream On
8. Bluetones - Keep the Home Fires Burning
9. James - Falling Down
10. Delgados - All You Need is Hate

I'd take you a few decades...

America - Sister Golden Hair
Aliota Haynes & Jeramiah - Lake Shore Drive
Sammy Johns - Chevy Van
Mason Profit - Two Hangmen
Todd Rungren - Hello, It's Me
Harry Chapin - Taxi (Live)
Foghat - I Just Want to Make Love To You (live version)

Here's one crossing many genre's:

Masta Ace - Spread it Out
Prince - Let's Go Crazy
Buju Banton - Untold Stories
Garth Brooks - If Tomorrow Never Comes
Digital Underground - The Humpty Dance
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows

Mix Tape
 

I would make a Portishead CD and give it to you at Christmas.

Right now, I'm on this gigantic Mogwai kick. It wouldn't be tiny, but I'd put these songs:

1. Waltz for Aidan
2. Take Me Somewhere Nice
3. Christmas Steps
4. Yes! I Am a Long Way From Home
5. Like Herod
6. Mogwai Fear Satan

In that order, because it follows a pretty good progression from mellower to harder. Well, "Mogwai Fear Satan" isn't harder than "Like Herod" but it is perhaps the best Mogwai song ever.

9. Usual Suspects - ED-209
