We did have the org mix off a couple years ago and guess who won

yeah, i'm totally not interested in tossing someone a mix of my favorite 600 songs, though i'm terribly tempted.

i DO however like to put together "bowie 101" compilations for people, which ends up being my own little mini-homemade bowie box set. it'd be a lot easier to dump all that into a USB drive and make a funky little guide to the music on MSWord or something.

Is there any orger with a lot of time on their hands that could put this all together? Make yourself known!

I wouldn't even mind donating a small amount of $ for his/her time. Of course we're assuming then that this person is trustworthy.

Good God, this thread took off.

Question one: Does the mix in mix-tape actually suggest the music is mixed (blended) into each other like Vainandy implied? This I don't do, I compile.

Question two: I LOVE the idea of 'the great unheard'. Perfect title as well! I'd like to be apart of it. And actually it might not even take too much time does it? People send you ten songs with a certain theme, plus some info on why these tracks are great and a photowhore picture of their left toenail. Compile it onto a dvd or make available on a website, with an extra document file. Mmh, thinking about it...

Question three: RocknRollDave: So, tell me, where exactly do you live? Thing is, there might be similar jobs where I hail from... Those compilations you make, do they consist of 'yesterday - on harp mix' and 'hotel california - and-you-thought-the-regular-version-was-easy-listening-remix'?

Question four: Sexton, I know you're pulling my leg, but really those rules are holy!

Question five: reaaalllly loving the 'org-exchange' idea. How much would it cost to send a flashdrive across the ocean?

Anyone that knows me knows that I was serious when I said all mix tapes should follow those High Fidelity rules. I never put more than one track per artist on any of my comps.

i've always had an aversion to mp3s on CD. i don't know why. it's a personal problem i must come to terms with.

how many mp3s can you fit on one cd? can you organize them in folders and burn them to cd?

sextonseven said:

for once, we agree on something!

i only put two songs by the same artist on a comp if there is a specific reason for me to do so, like if they have a "part one" and "part two" of a song that i want to use as an intro/outro to a comp, or something like that. but i don't think i've even ever done THAT on a mix.

Anxiety said:

For once? Are we that far apart when it comes to our music listening habits? I mean, yeah, I would never do anything wacky like listen to Abbey Road on shuffle, but we must have other things in common, right?

oh, and might i thank you EVER SO MUCH for introducing a SPICE GIRLS BOXED SET into my living space

sextonseven said:

Just a stellar idea! I don't have the time to take on a whole project but would love to be part of it! What about you, Paris? Or, Chris, or Nathan? Or, bunches of people here who could do a brilliant job.

Anxiety said:

Shame on you guys for thinking that box set was a myth. Try listening to disc 4 - the solo hits. There might be something you like on there.

And I DID try to balance it out by giving you a Creatures comp. That's a music snob's dream. It's Siouxsie for people that that think The Banshees' albums sound too conventional.

sextonseven said:

seriously, the creatures disc is lovely. i have SO MUCH MUSIC to dig through right now, but i did try to at least listen to a few tracks from all the new stuff i've racked in over the past couple of months, and what i listened to on your comp makes me want to sit down and really digest the whole thing. thanks again!

If we were to actually go ahead with this project and send DVD-Rs to everyone that contributed, I wouldn't mind creating an accompanying booklet with everyone's liner notes and self-portraits.

Another idea is I can make a downloadable pdf with everyone's artwork and notes and maybe we can put the entire project online somewhere and just let orgers download everything. We'd have to keep the URL hush-hush though.

sextonseven said:

I think that last option is easiest and cost efficient. Also an url behind a psswrd could work.

Let's make some framework here:
-Limit per person. I say 10 tracks per person is maximum.
-Limit of people. I'd say 20 peeps, that would make 200 tracks. That's already quite much. Ten people on this thread had interest, so a little more room to grow.
-Theme. 'Tracks you think people haven't heard, but really should have!' Something like that?
-Artwork. Should include. Short commentary on the track, like: who is it, where they from, why the inclusion. Your org avatar for reference! Your own little subtheme, like: 70s music you should have heard. Artwork and title of album the songs hail from.

Sander said:

Can we make it 15?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I prefer a limit of ten tracks because people have short attention spans. Keep your comp short and sweet.

sextonseven said:

Not. like. your. rules!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Stop being difficult!

BUT ANXY KNOW WHAT IT LIKE TO BUY LOT OF ALBUM AT ONE TIME

SOME ALBUM ANXY NEVER LISTEN TO RIGHT

Fuck, I'll do a ten track comp.

There's a theme?
