you know what is weird, until this thread I didn't even notice it was all women

I really liked 2 other songs as well . And Max might change his taste in music once he grows up .

ok, so this school computer isn't workin with my headphones right now, so I'll have to return to this...but I was anticipating your mix and I'm so pumped to see that I atleast somewhat familiar with 70% of your artists
so I can't wait to hear this later!!!

I wish you made a mix

Interestingly, and you know this, but I think we are the only 2 acts in this gig that had no men in our mixes

1. "The Hues Of Longing" - Mors Syphilitica - Loved this right away. And THANK YOU for the lyrics on this song because, my God there is so much soul searching that can be done in every. single. lyric! Gorgeous imagery, invoked by the simple act of nature Very very comforting First thing I thought when I heard this was Dusty Trails, which is the Keyboardist from Luscious Jackson, Vivian Trimble, and Josephine Wiggs formerly of the Breeders. It just reminded me of how comforting that whole album is. Want to hear more of this band

2. "Denn Die Toten Reiten Schnell" - Faith and the Muse - The Goth world is one of my most neglected and least explored This stroked my vampiric sensibilities

3. "Cage In A Cave" - Rasputina I. am. a. history. freak! Heard the name Rasputina but this is the first thing I've heard by her/them. Now I got to check out Thursday Christian's Father's Mutiny! Very Rock Opera, which can be annoying but I dig this chick's voice so all is forgiven

4. "Eternal Flame" - Joan As Police Woman On first glance I thought this was Joan Jett I was just shocked that this was her! Then I read your little write up. Whew! Just absolutely lovely. Again, all about the voice and the arrangement is supreme

5. "Come, Sing Me A Song" - Sing-Sing NO. YOU. DIDN'T! Loves got a hold on me and there's nothing that I couldn't be without your love I loved the Sing Singles when you sent it to me but this song grabbed my nuts and wouldn't let go! I was having eargasms galore on this track and I even cried that is just how much I love this song!!! Seriously, you have no idea how hard I bawled on that shit and for a long time too

Such a simple simple song, yet evoking all manners of flourish You do not know the shocks of pleasure the first time I heard the horns break through at 1:23. I was already a mess and that just escalated shit I do prefer the version that you sent without the flourish during the chorus because the vocal delivery really is enough to convey the message Just a little something is lost for me not hearing the purity of their voices during that part of the song. But just excellent you included this!!!! I had no idea you would

6. "God Knows (You Gotta Give To Get)" - El Perro Del Mar I still have 4 songs to go but I think this will probably be my least favorite track on the mix. Not complex enough Yes, I was right. My least favorite.

7. "I Like A Boy In Uniform (School Uniform)" - The Pipettes Of course, I loved this They're a white version of Cibo Mato!

8. "Te Quiero Mucho" - Naty Botero Spanish Rap?! I guess it's a good thing I know what the title means cuz I really don't need to try and figure this song out Love it

9. "Gary's Song" - Alice Smith You beat me to the punch! But I didn't choose this Alice Smith Track Sorry, but I'm going to save my Alice Vamping for my thread One of the most outstanding tracks on her album for sure. Love the idea of her walkin down the street and just COMMANDING SHIT LEFT AND RIGHT! And yet, she's sensible enough to ask what the hell happens if they start that ball rolling. What a sensible broad!

10. "Scratch Your Name" - Noisettes

Her voice reminds me of Sia Furler Never knew Sia had any edge! This is a great great track. I want to own that album right. NOW!

I am going to stay away from the songs I know from this mix and choose "The Hues of Longing" as my favorite. You crack me up, it's not a song about vegetation, but I guess it is This mix project is something staggering for me, as you will see in my presentation and it wouldn't have happened the way it did without your input and suggestion. I love you very much for being a part of one of the most amazing things to happen to me this year Oh yeah, I owe Anx too but considering I'm missing all my front teeth and scratch my ass with a stick through my overalls, I don't know if he'll ever know

Oh yeah,

I know you liked a few others. I had no idea though that listening to so many women at once would be such torture for you.

You write the most incredible, heartfelt reviews!

When I saw that you picked Alice Smith for your mix, I started to sweat a little. At least we didn't choose the same song.

I see what you mean about the remix of "Come, Sing Me A Song" that was on the comp I sent you, but I like this one more because all the effects makes it sound more retro-60s which is what I'm very much into at the moment. I had no idea the song would have such an impact on you!

I admit my description of the Mors Syphilitica song could have been more specific. All the lyrics to the songs from their last album used to be on their website, but when they broke up, they took their site down and now those lyrics can't be found anywhere! I happened to have the the words to "Hues Of Longing" only because I printed it out from their site years ago. I wish I had done it for all the songs from that album. My eyes literally teared up the first time I heard that song. I had all their previous albums which were more death-rock/goth, but they really softened their sound on their final album and the results were lovely.

I admit that I only listened to one mix...hermans...but I feel tempted to listen to this one.

I tried to listen to this mix last night, unfortunately I felt no connection at all with these songs. Maybe my music tatste is a bit too straightforward, I got bored after the third song. Not my cup of tea, I guess.

the plague dance by faith and the muse..sounds like a christian death song..cool.

did you even give my mix a chance?

Yes I did, I have heard each mix so far but I haven't been very active commenting on them. I am not used to talk a lot about music or putting it down in words, neither am I good at it. I either enjoy music or I don't. I liked your mix, Moloko, Dzihan & Kamien, Rae & Christian and Herbert standing out. These are artists I follow.
Sexton's mix, to me, is too fabricated. To me it seems me that he has made such a huge effort to put ten obscure songs sung by women in a mix. I can hardly imagine that this is a mix one could listen to everyday....but hey, that's me and it's all good if one can!

My mix will be on in a month's time and I will try to put songs in it that I actually enjoy a lot and listen to a lot, I will not try to make the most obscure mix possible.....I'll leave that to others!

I think William Faith was in Rozz's Christian Death at some point, no? So the influence isn't a surprise at all.

abierman gave my mix an "F".

Not that I expected everyone to love it, but that you thought it was the worst one so far is surprising. I will disagree about it being fabricated. It didn't take a huge effort to put this together at all. About 70% of my collection consists of female artists. These are the ones I listen to. Every day. And the mix can't be that obscure if half the people that posted knew some of the artists already. But that's okay. It's not your thing. I can understand that.

did you even give my mix a chance?

Forget about Aksel, he has no taste in music whatsoever .

Well, I wouldn't go that far. I mean abierman and I both think The Arcade Fire is terrible so he must know what he's talking about at least some of the time.

But thank you for your support.

Yeah just for you I ruined my chances to be mentioned on this thread: http://prince.org/msg/100/283521

But he also thinks TTD/Sananda is terrible and totally untalented .

See this is the thing, you love boobs and so do I. But for very very VERY different reasons Even though we are polar opposites when it comes to them, we both have a high regard that is reverential to the female artist I love that you can love the physical female and still get what it is females are saying. I don't love the physical but relate to females on a very primal level nonetheless. Your mix is awesome
