    Mix Discussion: January 2008

    Happy new year everybody...

    Hope you all succeeded in making a mixtape last month, and received one. Remember, if you didn't get your mix, let me know, because as of last month, this group has a 'zero-tolerance' policy when it comes to slacking.

    For general entertainment, but also for anyone who unfortunately was left out, i always put my mixtape up at the end of the month. It's right here:
    http://www.pastedescape.com/2007up.zip
    It's my personal best of 2007, all mashed up and crossfaded, as if i was a pro. Which i'm not :)

    Now, with a new year comes a new month, and a new month means a NEW MIXTAPE! Woohoo! This is how it goes:
    1. Below you'll find a list of pairs.
    2. Find your name in it, and make a mix for the person you're matched with.
    3. Send them a Personal Message with the download link in it. Easy as that.

    PLEASE: Read the Important Post in the Forum ( http://www.last.fm/group/The+Monthly+Mixtape/forum/45288/_/221537 ) if you want to know all about technical stuff and membership policy.

    Every month, we have an optional theme... it's ONLY there if you don't know what kind of music to put together. But most people here, or at least the most fanatic ones, are very creative in putting the theme to work. Do with it whatever you fancy.

    The theme for this month was suggested by a few people on the forum a long while ago, but it seems like a lot of fun: HUMAN ANATOMY.
    Songs about heads, fingers, arms, legs and other limbs... that's what i mean. But remember, it can be what you want... if you can find another way.

    Now, get ready for the list of names! Here it is:

    Somehow I predict a great mixtape month for metalheads with this theme.

    Don't ask me why :)

  • I think I'm gonna do a mix solely based around hair. :D

    "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18." - Albert Einstein
  • I was *so* close to put Clap Your Hands Say Yeah on my mixtape, but I didn't want to be the third in a row to use the same song, so I skipped it, even though it would have fit nicely. Ah well... :)

    I veered off a bit from the theme, making it be more about health, injury and illness, though I wasn't very strict about the theme... The mix was made for sheline. It can be found here: http://sharebee.com/798139fc

    11. Clint Mansell - Death is a Disease
    12. Firefox AK - Cardiac Arrest

    following the theme, and made for brokensounds.

    i decided to do an introverted mix, focusing on songs that describe the "body parts" in the title. this mix documents a smart individual that for whatever reason, has a very low self-image, and listens to the voice of insanity.

    Anatomy of Shame
    01 Art Garfunkel: Bright Eyes
    02 Cex: My Head
    03 Virgin Black: Velvet Tongue
    04 Bjork: Scatterheart
    05 Training For Utopia: Two Hands
    06 Mouth of the Architect: At Arms Length
    07 Radiohead: Scatterbrain
    08 The Mars Volta: Viscera Eyes
    09 Blotted Science: Bleeding in the Brain

    TRT: 50: 25
    64MB


    listen to the noise i make and leave me a comment about it.
