August CD Mix Club

[michael]

Glad you liked it

As promised, the track listing:

Beastie Boys - Body Moving (Soulwax remix)

Edwin Starr - 25 Miles

The Streets - Who Got The Funk?

James Brown - Super Bad

A Tribe Called Quest - Scenario (in hind sight this should have been Fakin' the funk by Main Source)

Rufus Thomas - Itch and Scratch

Beastie Boys - In 3's

The Dramatics - Get Up and Get Down

?? - Old School Megamix (Uncle Clive sent me this about 2 years ago - it's off some random bootleg CD)

Kool and the Gang - Jungle Boogie

Badder Than Evil - The Chase

Prince - Life O The Party

The Quantic Soul Orchestra - Hold It Down

Bill Withers - Kissing My Love

Eric B and Rakim - Don't Sweat The Technique

Big Boss Man - Humanise

Dream Warriors - Wash Your Face In My Sink

Charles Wright and The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band - Express Yourself

Jurassic 5 - Swing Set

It's a winner, and currently getting it's second play of the day.

highlights for me are the Prince tune, the classic hip-pop of the Dream Warriors, and the Charles Watts effort - I'd heard of them (in Grand Royal Issue 2, I seem to recall?) but never heard their stuff. Aces.

[McNeillR]

just got home from work and my cd was waiting for me. Thank you McNeilR. I'm at track 3 and lovin it all. AND a bonus CD. I feel blessed.

So far so perfect - the tracks are similar to the kinds of music I like, but different enough that I wouldn't go looking for them on my own. Ideal for a surprise compilation really.

Thanks again. Oh, and the cover is cool too - makes me feel bad for scrawling on the one I made with a CDR pen 

PS I'm reasonably sure you'd like the CD I made to send out this month. You can soulseek it off me, under CD Mix Club.

EDIT - ooh, track 8 hits you like a hammer. From funky chill to smash you head in in one easy move.

EDIT - track 11. I love Amp Fiddler. Top work that man. Again, you'd love my mix this month, and also download the Yam Who folder in my soulseek. There's a couple of great Amp tracks in there.

Thanks for that. Means a lot.

Don't touch the Bonus CD!11 until you've exhausted the other one. It pales in comparison. And effort

How did you like the first handful of tracks in their order? I edited most of the guff of most tracks [using Audacity for future Mix Club reference!] so they would go nice. I felt bad keeping to the one style at the start, percussive tracks with a pacey-funky-electro edge. But it worked. And you seemed to like it!

I'll get onto that Soulseek thing now. Here's the tracklisting.

1. Madlib - Soul Sonata (0:55)

2. Roy Ayers - Coffy is the Color (3:01)

3. Sebastien Tellier - La ritournelle (7:34)

4. Four Tet - She Moves She (4:41)

5. Wagon Christ - Rendleshack (5:19)

6. Erlend Øye - The Talk (3:03)

7. Camera Obscura - Keep It Clean (3:16)

8. Black Eyes - Speaking In Tongues (3:10)

9. Art Brut - Bad Weekend (2:43)

10. Weezer - Burnt Jamb (2:32)

11. Amp Fiddler - Superficial (5:18)

12. MF Doom as Madvillain - Great Day (2:18)

13. Cocteau Twins - Iceblink Luck (3:16)

14. The Earlies - Wayward Song (6:16)

15. Plaid - Shackbu (5:26)

16. Alan Braxe and Fred Falke - Time Out (2:11)

A lovely 1 hour 59 second total. The last track isn't the best, but hopefully the title will make it better.

I might start sharing it on Soulseek too if anyone else would be interested.

[jrisgod]

The rest of their stuff is a bit crap really. I love foreign Hip-Hop. Whos Crazy Titch?

You need to watch more Channel U dude

He's a Grime MC, Dizzee Rascal esque beats but faster. "I can see you, you can see me" was his last single. Can't get enough of Grime at the moment, the MCs are almost without exception appalling but the beats are incredible. I'd never heard of Kick the Can Crew before though.

Your mix is currently being dubbed for some of my mates as it's almost exactly their kind of thang.

The Dream Warriors track was almost not on there. I kept it in the end to avoid the CD getting too monotonous.

Took me about 2 months to compile the CD - I absolutely adore the vast majority of the tracks on there

certainly looks like a good un but TWO MONTHS? thats stupid. just relax and put on what you feel - no need to agonise so much imo.

[McNeillR]

I want to kill little kittens every time someone lists tracks as 'Title - Artist'.

"Lesson 6?! Someone named themeselves after a Jurassic 5 song?!?!11

...

Oh...

"

[The Liberal Elite]

you're ability to read is as shit as your hangbear. Brown, for crying out loud? green's where it's at.

[amanset]

11 Adorable - Homeboy

Any CD that has this song on it is, by default, amazing.

Any chance I can join in with this next month or is it not the done thing to request the CD to be sent to foreign parts?

[McNeillR]

"You are ability to read"? And you're the one telling me I'm crap for find it annoying to read 'track - artist' instead of 'artist - track'?

That transcript was 0.03 seconds in my head, but it's still annoying. Very annoying. You might as well have put 'The song Lesson 6, by the artist/group/band/act Jurassic 5'.

Any CD that has this song on it is, by default, amazing.

Against Perfection then Fake or the other way about? Which first!

Or is Amazon not telling me everything?

[amanset]

Against Perfection then Fake or the other way about? Which first!

Against Perfection.

The album is missing (well, at least the original release did, maybe it has changed) the awesome "Sunshine Smile", which is weird as one of the B-Sides "A to Fade in" makes the album. If you have difficulty finding it then I can sort you out.

[The Liberal Elite]

"You are ability to read"? And you're the one telling me I'm crap for find it annoying to read 'track - artist' instead of 'artist - track'?

jeez - I was only joking. it was more so I could take the piss out of the colour of your hangbear, WORD NAZI

[MW_Jimmy]

Can't get enough of Grime at the moment, the MCs are almost without exception appalling but the beats are incredible.

Ditto.

Your mix is currently being dubbed for some of my mates as it's almost exactly their kind of thang.

That put a smile on my face. Its pretty accurate to the type of stuff I listen too. I didn't go out of my way to make it accessible this time.

Any chance I can join in with this next month or is it not the done thing to request the CD to be sent to foreign parts?

Ive thought about this and I personally would mind but it depends on what everyone else thinks really. I can understand that not everyone would be willing.

Let us know guys.

[McNeillR]

jeez - I was only joking. it was more so I could take the piss out of the colour of your hangbear, WORD NAZI

HANGBEAR NAZI!

I got a handful in this week, but that's the first one. The Grandaddy Bear.

Besides, I don't live in London. Everyone thinks it's mega cool over here and lift me up on pedastools, even though it's Eat Bear and not some wicked rare pink one.

In all honesty, I thought it was the sonic equivalent of eating rice cakes.

Sorry, dude.

[Strawp]

It wasn't 2 months of trying to create a playlist for this purpose it was two months of occasionally adding a track to the playlist while I was listening to other stuff anyway. I didn't put *that* much work into it!

[auntyclimax]

One of you is still waiting to hear from me, it'll be sent Monday I promise.

[McNeillR]

1 Ralph Stanley - Oh Death

2 A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray

3 The Specials - A Message To You Rudy

4 The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations

5 The Polyphonic Spree - Hold Me Now

6 Teenage Fanclub - Radio

7 De La Soul - Millie Pulled A Pistol On Santa

8 Happy Mondays - Wrote For Luck

9 The Rapture - Sister Saviour

10 The Beloved - The Sun Rising

11 Adorable - Homeboy

12 Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Black Tongue

13 The Libertines - Last Post On The Bugle

14 Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil

15 The Polyphonic Spree - When The Fool Becomes a King

Lovely start. Vocal tracks are usually a pretty good statement of intent, which was followed up by two not-too-complicated tracks, and then the sunshiney vibes of the Beach Boys. That lead sweetly onto Polyphonic Spree

I think Teenage Fanclub would have been better positioned after The Rapture, or at least closer to Adorable. De La Soul seemed like you were turning back onto things after the rocky song.

I've never heard much Happy Mondays, really. It seemed to drag on for a bit after it got started, they could have done all the song did inside 3 minutes, but would have sacrificed the 'anthemic' feel.

The indieness was nice relief. I'll definetly be looking into more Adorable stuff, and 'Last Post' is one of the best tracks off the new Libs album.

Sympathy For The Devil was a fantastic addition, I've not heard it in ages but was still singing/speaking along

And the new Spree stuff. I've not downloaded anything yet, I really need to spend on it soon- but I've listened to 'When The Fool Becomes A King' about 20 times now. The guitar pounding break 3 minutes in is utterly fantastic. If only the longer songs on 'Beginning Stages Of...' were half as good as this. Though the "SUN!" refrain was wonderful, and didn't drag out or seem to rip off the last album too much.

All in all, pretty good stuff, apart from the bump in the road with the pacing in the middle. Has got a few spins, reminded me of some old stuff and introduced me to new stuff- pretty good going for a Mix CD. Thanks!

[Couk]

Waaah, where is mine?

[cowtipper]

In all honesty, I thought it was the sonic equivalent of eating rice cakes.

Sorry, dude.

You dont like my music, but I like your stylish precis of my disc. Call in quits.

Seeing as I want to improve, was it poor tracks in their genre, or a genre that you dont like ?

PS Jackie Wilson singing Light my Fire is no way rice cake. The man sounds like his life depends on the performance.

[Strawp]

I'm still waiting too.

Bloke who was whining about his soul CD: Send it on this way if you want

[AfromB]

I've never heard much Happy Mondays, really. It seemed to drag on for a bit after it got started, they could have done all the song did inside 3 minutes, but would have sacrificed the 'anthemic' feel.

I can see where you're coming from but you have to remember that they were all smashed most of the time and would have danced to anything for hours. I was going to use a live version which is a lot better but I couldn't find the bugger.

[Seedy Gord]

but also

JJ72 might have been faddish, but they also made some really good music, IMO. I even liked their second album

Also, the track on the CD (a great outro track, IMO) deflects most of the usual JJ72 criticism by being an instrumental.

(I also think Sandstorm is a great song, so feel free to ignore me)

I actually really enjoyed this. Cheers! But I never picked up on any smugness sorry.

And to one lucky person whos still waiting itll be on the way in the next few days cos Im hoping to have my cd burner sorted. If not ill whip my hard drive round my mates and do it there. Ive alraedy got my tracks compiled, however I keep changing the track listing cos I had a good one set up in winamp.

Then I put some porn on and lost the order...

[biggerbob]

But I never picked up on any smugness sorry.

Oh, well... The smugness was that despite all but two of the bands having full-time singers, not a single human voice appeared in the 78 minutes. All the tracks were instrumentals.

I was thinking of having 'Intro' from the Offspring's Conspiracy of One* as the first track, but I thought that would be too cheesy.

*'When we're ready to play, we step up to the microphone, and it comes out something like this:' (a recording of the Beach Boys, I think)

Umm, it's probably just personal taste. It all felt a bit soft for me. I like something with a bit of an edge and most of those tracks seemed to noodle along without getting anywhere. I wanted to hear your dark side, Cowtipper!

Couk, yours got sent on Saturday (unless mrs ukdazs just stuck it in the bin and lied to me) so it should appear today or tomorrow. Feel free to stick the boot in if you hate it.

[the_debaser]

Mine will be done today or tomorrow. I've been a bit busy, unfortunatley.

[jonny_rat]

To Jeff Mills Gran: has your CD arrived yet? I sent it on Friday. It's from me, but I forgot to put my username on it anywhere. Hope you enjoy!

[Couk]

Feh, no CD. Although the Cornelius 5 point 1 dvd+cd came today. Roxxor.
