  • My idea for a December show is to tell the story of your year with songs.

    at least as an alternative to the inevitable "best of the year" theme

    "Foreign Holiday" theme could be a fun one.

    A playlist of music from foreign places.

    Or a playlist you'd make for listening to on a distant vacation somewhere.

    Or any which way you might interpret.

    How about "10/15 songs that saved your life"?

  • How about something like "Things I found in my attic", or "Music found at a garage sale"?

    We stop at pancakes house.

  • I like the less-concrete themes.

    So I suggest, "Does This Look Infected To You?"

    Music from the same decade?

    Songs that remind you of very specific moments.

    Political/protest/statement songs

  • It's a good theme, the statement songs one, but I dunno...I can't see anybody improving on what may be the single greatest mix ever shared in this group -- muzikizum's "Listen Up!" from March 2010. Links are doubtlessly dead, but you can still see the playlist: http://www.last.fm/group/The+Monthly+Mixtape/forum/45288/_/605912/2

    Man, that one was brilliant. (actually, looking back at it, that whole month was pretty boss)

  • Wow, high praise indeed Poppy, thanks.
    I've re-upped the links if anyone else is interested...

    That mix really does look amazing, muzikizum, thanks for re-uploading it!

    Ok, here’s my two cents worth of theme ideas. If these are obvious, or stupid, or have been mentioned previously, please ignore me.

    Drug addictions/alcoholism
    Cops and Robbers/Law and Order
    Sea Shanties
    War/soldiering/battlefield
    History Class (songs that reference historical people or events)
    Damnation/Salvation
    Fight Club/Bloodied Up (violence!)
    The F!Bomb (songs with lots of swearing, or maybe just one well-dropped F!bomb)
    Financial Crisis/Money matters
    Re-soundtrack your favorite movie or TV show, or make an ode to your favorite fictional character

  • "I have no idea what they're singing about"

    This could be songs in foreign languages or just songs with very strange lyrics that don't seem to make a lick of sense.

    Another simple suggestion: Sounds of summer
