I tell you what I can't stop listening to this spring mix OH WAIT

Don't worry, I'm sure it will be ready just in time for summer. Maybe we should get started on the summer mix now, come to think of it...

Is anybody here a big fan of The Mars Volta? I'm not, mostly because I don't think I've ever listened to them. But the musician-guys who live down the hall from me and often have lots of equipment and stuff moving in and out are apparently....The Mars Volta. They have a studio in the basement. I've lived here for like 6 months and just found that out today.

That's sort of cool. I could never get into them myself, and in fact find them downright abrasive, but I can see their appeal.

sorry i suck, i'll get to it this week.what would make it easier (aka much less time consuming, which is important because i have zero free time) is if someone (cough, JEFF) could dl all the songs and ul them and then i can just dl/edit/master.what do you think, maybe?

I was never really a fan of The Mars Volta, but I really liked At the Drive-In's Relationship of Command. It is kind of hard, and, you know, sometimes you need some hardcore. You should befriend them and have them help you fuck punk chicks.

I check in on this thread every once in a while for new ideas on music and I had to jump in here. I'm not a big Mars Volta fan, particularly because I don't think I do enough drugs or have a brain that can keep up with their all-over-the-place style. I love a few songs off Deloused, but that's about it. But I do enjoy listening to their drummer and wondering how he doesn't have eight arms. But, anytime I hear anything about them all I can think of is how sad I am that I never got a chance to see At the Drive-In. Relationship of Command is probably my favorite album of all time and still makes me shake my head every time I listen to it again.

When I was young -- middle school aged I'd guess it started, but I remember owning Ten in 4th grade -- I was a big Pearl Jam fan. I'm 25 now, so I guess everyone my age liked Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc. back then. In 7th grade I fell in love with a girl named Sarah, and I made her listen to Pearl Jam a lot. We had a handful of favorite songs, and the night before I moved back to Michigan after my freshman year of highschool, we lost our virginity while listening to a collection of Pearl Jam songs. After, when "Elderly Woman Behind a Counter in a Small Town" started playing, I told her that I loved her, and that I couldn't wait until the lyrics were about us. "But won't that mean we forgot each other?" Yup. Life lasts a long time, and we're young, but one day we'll be old, and maybe we'll remember each other. I listened to a lot of Pearl Jam after I moved away. When Yield came out the next year, I bought a copy and mailed it to her with the note: "**** it. We'll disappear." Later that year, when they released Live on Two Legs, I heard the untitled track, and immediately called her and made her listen to it. I told her I had decided it was going to be our song, even though she had a boyfriend and I thought I might kinda have a girlfriend. For years, I identified that band so completely with this girl. When we inevitably lost contact my sophomore year of college (after a few secret trips to meet in Indiana or Chicago, hundreds of hours on the telephone when we thought nobody was listening, and thousands of hours talking on instant messenger) when I decided I couldn't deal with it anymore, I also lost Pearl Jam. It was my decision to stop talking to Sarah, but it was still kinda painful, and -- even after months and months -- Pearl Jam made me feel heavy and anxious. I downloaded their entire discography today, and am going through it song-by-song. It's interesting. I am back in my youth. It is 7th grade and I can see the house across the street. I am in 10th grade, awkward and silent and clueless. I am 18, in my dorm room, rocking with Tommy, listening to the bootlegs. I am a sophomore in college, drunk, alone in my living room after my housemates have gone to bed at 2AM on a Thursday night, listening to a voicemail from a girl who says she still loves me. I am on my couch, 2 weeks later, trying to figure out how I could have finished the whole bottle, and wondering if I have the courage to say what I want to say, and whether I want her to answer or for it to go straight to voicemail, because: my voice won't crack if I'm leaving a message. I'm 22, telling my friend to change the fucking station right fucking now, because I fucking said so.I'm 25, in my bedroom, halfway through an email I'm never going to send, to an email address that probably doesn't get used anymore, wondering: "If she invited me to her wedding this summer, would I go" and: "I wonder if she knows I've kept tabs on her for the last 6 years" and: "I wonder if she would recognize my face."I love music. It ties me to to people and places. It's like an external harddrive for memories.

She keeps tabs on you too. And she would recognize your face out of thousands.I've always regretted not having a "Winnie Cooper" sort of situation like this. Even if you never really see her again, you'll always have a sort of nostalgia and memories of youth that will stay with you forever. You're lucky.

It remains to be seen whether my experience will have a net positive or negative effect, but most of my neuroses with women can be traced to my relationship with Sarah, and the incredibly horrible luck I had with the girl I dated a little while after I left Sarah a message informing her that we wouldn't be talking ever again. Actually, all of my psychological problems with bitches ("Mom's still got it!" "I don't date whores!") have their genesis with Sarah. Just not the idea way for a naive, sensitive, faggy little kid to pop his emotional cherry. The good news: I became concerned with finding new bands to replace the bands I'd lost, which led me down the path that eventually took me to this thread, and my awesomely hip playlist.

i tend to speed read a lot of forum posts, and this was the only word that registered. it's hard to explain how crushed i was that genesis wasn't followed by "invisible touch" or "land of confusion".VINYL EQUINOX UPDATE: jeffstrat has been kind enough to offer his snatching abilities so i hope to work on this tonight and get it to you fgts asap

sal if you could provide the mary poppins track it'd be real helpfulI know you have it

[LadyGrey]

Oh um I was joking about the Poppins song, can I change it? I would like to change it to Lazy River by Louis Armstrong. Nice relaxing music by which to look at flowers and blue skies. I listened to it the other day when I went for a walk in the sunshine and it felt great.
