Re: Board Mixes

I'm starting work on a mix of the 30 least well known bands I own CDs from. Some of you will know a few (or maybe most), but I highly doubt anyone here will know all of them. And by "know", I mean more than just having heard the name.

Re: Board Mixes

I still want to post my original 2cd mix but now I'm all caught up in "genres" and want to post a hip hop mix. i always thought it was funny that my friends thought it was cool to listen to "gangster/gangsta rap" in 6th grade but in the past couple of years I've really grown to appreciate what the twin cities has to offer locally. it will not include any rap tracks (the commodified crap piped through the radio and mtv). besides, the only good rap was produced in the late 80s/early 90s anyways. does that white people blog have a post on indie hip hop? cause there's a lot of good stuff out there that is actually saying something besides get rich or die tryin'.

I'm right behind ya. I have a mix made and ready with hip-hop songs that will hopefully change the mind of a few hip-hop skeptics. But I agree with you that only good rap was produced in the late 80s/early 90s. But where's the love for J Dilla, Little Brother, and the new Pharoahe Monch?
I look forward to what you have in store empty.

Re: Board Mixes

Thanks kata, I want to hear yours too. Mine is going to be 2cd but it's still going to be pretty narrow-minded with some people even getting 3-4 tracks. It's kind of hard to avoid that with Doomtree/Doomtree-related material. Saul Williams, Aesop Rock, MC Lars, Cage, Sage Francis, RJD2 and many others are all fine by me but I think I'm just going to focus on Twin Cities stuff.

I lied...MC Lars is already on there.

Re: Board Mixes

Yeah, keep MC Lars on there. That shit is dope.

Sounds weird when i say it like that...

Re: Board Mixes

Like this one. Never heard of any of them (bar A) got some downloading to do me thinks... not all of it...

Re: Board Mixes

I Am The Avalanche - I Took A Beating: I love all glassJaw side projects.
Letter Kills - Whatever It Takes: I used to be into these guys until I listened to their albums...lost interest pretty quickly.
Mad At Gravity - Historypeats: YES! Love these guys. If they were still a band they'd be where Codeseven would be if they stayed together...(sigh)
The Color Red - Intro/Season: Never got into them...kinda boring
Eisley - Many Funerals: They don't get enough credit because they tour with emo acts and associate with Taking Back Sunday (bleach!). But they draw influence from Sunny Day Real Estate and that's always a plus in my book.
Amanda Rogers - Daily News: Love her! This song alone is worth the download!
Chase Pagan - Time To Myself: I'm starting to enjoy his tunes...
Cloud Cult - Happy Hippo: Ya know, I like what I hear but I still can't commit a long period of time toward listening to them. Hopefully that'll change.
Audiovent - Underwater Silence: Wow, I remember these guys. Incubus without the DJ...nuff said.
Injected - I - IV - V: eh, Alt-rock garbage from my nu-metal days. Bad memories.
Firescape - The Way You Are: Saw them open for Saves the Day. Nothing special.
A - Nothing: Now here's a band that you see in the Used CD bin across America. Didn't they have a song called Starbucks?
In Pieces - Like Angels On The Verge Of Suicide: Good Band. Good song. Good Choice.
Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster - Tough As John Jacobs: They've always reminded me of a better Everytime I Die (not a difficult thing to do).

Okay. That's my assessment of the bands I know. I haven't heard of the rest of the bands you put on these mixes. However, I liked the last one you did (minus Static Lullaby and a few others). So I'm going to give these a listen. Yay new music!

Re: Board Mixes

There are definitely some "eh" songs on there.... but I wanted to make 2 decently sized CDs, so I couldn't cut anybody out.


kata, I Am The Avalanche has Glassjaw members?

Re: Board Mixes

I'm almost done with the first CD, and although it's not really the field of music I normally enjoy, I've really enjoyed this mix so far. Thanks!

woops. I meant Head Automatica. Caruana was in HA
