The 10 Track Mixtape Thread (Song Lists Without Links Will Be Deleted)

'Psych Banter'<<< - A quick and pointless psychedelia mix lazily accrued from past psych compilations with silly titles.

1. The Beatles - Rain

The classic B-side to Paperback Writer, history in the making. About 60's attitudes to marijuana.

2. Moby Grape - Omaha

Led by Skip Spence who served in Quicksilver Messenger Service and early Jefferson Airplane, classic galloping West Coast psych.

3. Fairport Convention - Time Will Show the Wiser

Yes more galloping West Coast psych, but this time from the Fairport's debut, when they still sounded like, erm, Jefferson Airplane. Richard Thompson was one of the best guitarists of the 60's, FACT.

4. Love - The Castle

From their second album. The title refers to Arthur Lee's Hollywood Hills hideaway. Mouthful.

5. The Nazz - Lemming Song

'Power psych'(?), the Nazz's debut is a lost classic IMO.

6. Tomorrow - Revolution (Top Gear Sesh)

Taken from a session on John Peel's 1968 radio show, this was Steve Howe's band before Yes.

7. the Smoke - High In A Room

Not to be confused with the (pants) U.S. group of the same name, this song is about blazing 'toking' it's mental toll (see what I did? hurhur)

8. Ludus - My Cherry Is In Sherry

Manchester 1980, some geniuses decide to combine psych and post-punk influences, the result floors you.

9. Apples In Stereo - Seems So

A nugget from the 90's 'psych revival', kicked off by the fantastic Elephant Six label

10. Luke Vibert - I Love Acid

It's about acid. What more d'you want?

10songs MIXXXXXXX

So, here's 10 songs that aren't just off albums that I adore, but also that I've played countless times just by themselves.

Great thread, I'm new here and hope somebody enjoys this mix.

1) The Knife - Silent Shout

Far before this album became one of my top 3 of the year, when I didn't really "get it" yet, I totally got into this track. Very delicate, and precise in a way 1960s Miles Davis was, except with software synthesizers, strangely vocoded vox, and tube reverb units splash in the distance.

2) Smashing Pumpkins - Wound

"For every chemical, you trade a piece of your soul (with no return)"
That line, among others in this song, used to always give me chills up my spine. Not just because of the subtle truth of it, but due to the thread of a truly spiritual perspective that runs throughout this album. It is at it's most naked on on this song.

3) Tori Amos - Northern Lad

Great song, almost sounds too personal. But Tori can pull this sort of thing off with grace. The progression of melodies from verse, to pre-chorus, to chorus is on par with the greatest Beatles songs.

4) The National - Ada

Boxer's my favourite album of last year, and this is definitely one if it's standout tracks. The haunting beauty of when he says "Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall..." and then the break down to piano and strings is...(fill in the blank).

5) Tortoise - Ten-Day Interval

I love Philip Glass and I'm cool with Steve Reich, but what Tortoise does with their work here is just great. The minimal melodies dance instead of drone, and the less minimalism type stuff is one of the only glimpses I've seen of an artist allowing a portal to open up and actually take Glassian arpeggios into the world of pop/rock. And to say they do this with success (in under 5 min, nonetheless) would be a huge understatement.

6) Thom Yorke - Black Swan

Who knew "This is ****ed up" sung in a lackadaisical tone, could have such an impact on me. MAX/MSP, post-IDM beats merged with oddly slinking guitar lines, set the stage for Mr. Yorke's centerpiece of ennui, with a pinch of romance.

7) Autechre - Rae

Before I ever heard the term "IDM", I heard LP5, and this is the track that kept me coming back for not just more of that album, but this band's entire catalog. "Rae" can best be described as the song these two guys had been trying to make for 10 years, in it's penultimate form. Even with their following 2 albums they had a couple tracks (also track #3s) that tried to take the same formula to even greater heights, but mostly just took it into the realm of harsher, more "difficult" (though more enjoyable for some) directions.

The Formula: Complex treated beats, battling through a soundscape of melodies on par with the greatest classical compositions of the 20th Century.

8) Tom Waits - Fannin Street

I spent many nights in Houston, lost on Fannin and other nearby streets of the downtown maze.

Fortunately, in spite of Mr. Wait's warning, I was eventually found.

9) Joanna Newsom - Peach, Plum, Pear (live)

The bittersweet glory of this song, matched by it's wonderfully realized poetry frolics as much as it soars.

10) The Books - The Lemon of Pink

From my favourite album of 2003, this opening title track sets the pace for a record that defies all rules, even of the obscure genres it's self reverencing throughout (found sound, music concrete, etc.).

Somewhere between Field Recordings and the melodic alchemy of DJ Shadow, The Books discover a new continent and quickly plant a flag, proclaiming themselves the rulers. And for 5 years, not even a single coup d'etat has even come close (sorry Panda Bear).

savannah · 03-26-2008, 07:27 PM

so i've decided to make my own compilation thread,...if thats alright with you guys,...

i've chosen to put it in the section because,...well,...country folkie jam bandish, stuff is kinda my nitch,.....even though i'm sure some of my comps will include other things,.....

this first comp is a mixture of texas singer songwritters (which i thnk by now we all know i'm really into),....
it stuff that makes me think of growing up,....things i listened to in high school and college, and no matter what musical phase i'm in, i always come back to this stuff,......

so here's my first installment,..... do with it what you will

2shared - download standbys.zip

track listing,...

biloxi - jack ingram,....
jack's been around for awhile and recently has gained some nashville acclaim ,... for whatever thats worth,... this track is my favorite to see live

sangria wine - jerry jeff walker
you didnt think i'd have a texas comp without jerry jeff walker did you? the man is one of my all time fav artists,......and sangria wine puts me in a good mood no matter whats goin on around me

the ballad of the kingsman - todd snider,...
ok so he's not FROM texas,...but he's influenced alot of songwritters down here,.....and i love his witt

cooler-n-hell - ray wylie hubbard
best known for redneck mother,.....

a storm blew in - brandon rhyder
it was so hard for me to chose a rhyder track,......as i love pretty much everything he does,....
brandon has a lot of bravado in his voice and some people are turned off by it, but when i see or hear brandon, i feel everything he's feeling through his voice

dreadful selfish crime - robert earl keen
needs no explination in my opp

sunset boulevard - charlie robinson
while some may argue his brother bruce is the more prolific songwritter, charlie just does it for me,....and this song has always been a fav,....it take me back to riddin dirt roads, crammed in a truck, windows down, drinking stolen beer, and singin at the top of my lungs

it aint easy being me - chris knight
i think we all feel this way somedays

if i had a boat - lyle lovette,.....
i wish i could write songs like this

long black veil - stoney larue
one of my fav songs by one of my fav artists

remain - mike mcclure
so,.....he's alittle pitchy,....but the way he writes,....and the sound of his voice,....i really think mike mcclure could talk me into almost anything
