people from the states do too my man.

funny story: last year when everyone was getting their car and putting subs and amps in them to blast rap, my friend got some for a really good price. unfortunately, he doesnt like much of the lil jon, 3-6 mafia, other shit people banged in their cars. so i made him an absolutely ridiculous mix for me and him to roll around to with the subs up full blast. here is the infamous "silly mix":

Junior Senior- "Move Your Feet"
Wham- "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"
Cyndi Lauper- "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"
ABBA- "Dancing Queen"
Bonnie Tyler- "Total Eclipse Of The Heart"
Fleetwood Mac- "Edge Of Seventeen"
Avril Lavigne- "Complicated"
Eiffel 65- "Blue (Da Ba Dee)"
Falco- Rock Me Amadeus
Backstreet Boys- I Want It That Way
Fred Astaire- Putting On The Ritz
Europe- The Final Countdown
Eddie Murphy- My Girl Wants To Party All The Time
Milli Vanilli- Girl You Know Its True
Tegan And Sara- Walking With A Ghost
Ace Of Base- I Saw The Sign
Supergrass- We Are Young
Snow- Informer


Needless to say, we got some funny looks. the best one i can remember was doing laps around the school after our basketball team had just beaten the poorest, rowdiest school in town. As all the assorted gangsters, wanksters, and baby-mommas were pouring out of the gym already pissed off, me and my buddy leedy were bumping WHAM at full blast. :shock:


p.s. if you want to add any tracks you think would be good for something like this, please do, as this summer promises to be that of Silly Mix #2.

I'm out of here for now, but I'll think about it. A friend of mine makes mixes like this for serious because he enjoys them, so i'm sure if I spend 10 minutes in his car it'll be no problem.

I'd considering giving Hanson- MmmBop a prominent spot on the mix.

Also, there's a song some little Bow Wow type fake kid rapper remixed, I think that's hilarious. I like Candy or something. I dunno. But it would be perfect.

Why the fuck doesn't anybody post here anymore?

Anyways, Dismemberment Plan- Emergency and I

Ice Cube - Death Certificate

The Walkmen are nice.

I'm listening to the newest Gorillaz album but really I'm quite disappointed in it.

Common - Be

Common - Be

eminem today, don't really know why.

Outstanding album.

I have moved on to Ice Cube - Lethal Injection

the temptations

I am filled with an unhealthy amount of rageahol after getting my wallet lifted at the casino last night, finding out my windshield wipers wouldn't work in the pouring rain, and sleeping alone and cold in a McDonald's parking lot until 6AM.

So I'm listening to
Rage Against the Machine
At the Drive In- Relationship Command

and a random Punk mix that includes the Clash, the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, the Nixons, and some other more hardcore punk bands that I randomly found on the street

I'm going to go workout while listening to Rollins Band, finally get some sleep after a long day dealing with worthless bureaucrazies, unhelpful casino officials, and what I'm certain was a sub-human police officer.

Wang

currently in heavy rotation:

David Bowie---Greatest Hits
The Strokes---First Impressions...
White Zombie---La Sexorcisto
The Beach Boys---Greatest Hits
Death Cab for Cutie
Slayer---Reign In Blood
Soulwax
Joy Division: Substance
D'angelo---Voodoo
50 Cent

Good call on Zombie. I knew I was missing some very obviously ragetastic music.

I think I'm going to put on Astrocreep and maybe murder a family of innocents or something...

Wang

sigur ros- agaetis byrjun
and then probably takk...


i watched requiem for a dream earlier so i was in the mood for something strings-heavy. i think ill dl the score to the movie.

I spent most of yesterday listening to my whole Radiohead collection in order of their releases. I had so much fun, I'm doing it again.

For you, Wang, I will bring it back, as there is no other way to put it.


+1

I did this too the other day.

the Pyramid Song may be one of my most favorite songs of all time.

been going nuts on the shins today

I've been listening to both the new and older strokes' cds.

I never really got into them until I heard the new stuff, and now I like the older stuff better as a result.

death cab for cutie

Mouse clickin

Queens of the Stone Age "Lullabies to Paralyze"

Teneight has become Randy Moss in my mind, so when I see him post in this thread, and then read the name of an emo band or something else very un-Mosslike, I get confused.

lol most people thought I was black when I first started to post here. I wonder what made them think that way?

i'm just another emo kid from Socal ....btw, i'm dont dress "emo", I just listen to emo

Rollins band = best band ever

Wang

The Wire (the only music publication worth reading, imo--and yes, that includes pitchfork) chose The Books' "Lost and Safe" as their record of the year. This seems like a band that Wang, mbreon and co would like. I don't get it. What am I missing? I didn't like their first record, don't like this one.

I know you guys did this earlier, but I didn't chime in.

End of year lists are so cliche, but I liked these records last year (in no particular order):
[list]
New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
Sigur Ros - Takk
Common - Be
Jamie Lidell - Multiply
Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise
Kanye West - Late Registration
Animal Collective - Feels
Paul Kalkbrenner - Tatu-Tata
Alva Noto - Transpray
Ellen Allien - Thrills
Spoon - Gimme Fiction
Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine (JB version)
MF Doom & Dangermouse - Dangerdoom
MIA - Arular
[list]

current playlist

-"Take a picture" - Filter
-"Heroes" - Wallflowers
-"Wonderwall" - Oasis
-"Stellar" - Incubus
-"Iris" - Goo Goo Dolls
-"Soco Ameretto Lime" - Brand New
-"Do You Right" - 311
-"My Sundown" - Jimmy Eat World
-"The Middle" - Jimmy Eat World
-"Dancing Days" - Led Zeppelin
-"Fool in the Rain" - Led Zep
-"Tonight, Tonight" - Smashing Pumpkins
-"In This Diary" - The Ataris
-"Pardon Me" - Incubus
-"All You Wanted" - Michelle Branch


A girl I've been hanging out with made me a mix of songs that made her "think of me."

So don't flame the Michelle Branch. I like her anyway.

Cute girl guitar players ++++++++++EV

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

I like The Wire, too. Pitchfork has become a bit of a parody of itself. Some of their reviews over the past 18 months make me think of an angry bitter highschool kid.

That being said, I still read the site at least weekly, because

a) Their news/wire service is good

Their concert reviews are good

c) They prominently feature lists, which is always +EV in the Book of Wang

d) Their tastes more closely align with mine (what a rhyme) than most publications, excepting a few notables (The Wire)


I haven't listened to any of The Books' music yet, though I have 2 separate post-its near my computer (2 of about 3500) suggesting I download some. Maybe I'll do that today, instead of continuing "Rageathon 2K6."




Naw, fuck that. More hatred.

Wang

I like reading Pitchfork because of their many lists.

Not that I agree with them, pretty close though, I just get off to lists.

I used to think CYHSY had the best album last year, but it has become clear to me that it is Sufjan's record by far.

A fellow list-man, I see. It's ironic that I enjoy lists so much, because I'm easily the least organized human on the planet

I'm right up there with you.

Well that certainly puts things in perspective. Sorry to hear man.

Well I was listening to the stuff I haven't played in a while. Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind, COC's Animosity, Tool's Opiate, and Gwar's Scumdogs of the Universe. However after hearing this, I might go home and pop in some Jewel. By comparison, my life is just like bad poetry. Bad poetry that made Jewel the highest paid American poet in history....Life is cruel.

Nah, life is awesome. In fact, life might be the greatest thing ever, apart from sleeping.

This is probably my favorite list.

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/top/90s/index10.shtml

theyve got no pearl jam anywhere on that list, pshhh.

Meh, the top ten kicks ass though.

i have 5 out of those 10, guess ill have to look at the others

"I am a scientist
I seek to understand me
All of my impurities
And evils yet unknown

I am a journalist
I write to you to show you
I am an uncurable
And nothing else behaves like me"

Guided by Voices, baby. I'm getting slaughtered at the tables today, and GBV usually puts me in a pretty peppy mood. So I think I'll listen to Robert Pollard all day, then go get drunk.

Dave Matthews Band - Live at Red Rocks

Loving the avatar, Wang.

i need to thank you guys for getting me into Sufjan Stevens, CYHSY, and My Bloody Valentine.

listening to Sufjan Stevens - Jacksonville right now

Yea, they all rock.

If you ever get a chance, download Sufjan's Enjoy Your Rabbit. It isn't his best work, but it feels like your flying on a spaceship. That's how I describe it at least.

Yeah, Illinois came out as #1 on my list too, although CYHSY was quite good too. (I'm seeing them in April when they come to town, woowoo)



I really have to be in the right mood to listen to Enjoy Your Rabbit, but when that Aphex Twin/Boards of Canada feeling hits, it fits right in.

Haha, I know what you mean.

By the way, love the avatar.

As of late, I've been listening to The Last Waltz pretty much non stop.

That's one of my favorite DVDs.....if you dont have the full box set, it's easily worth the money....

Gang, just got back from Vegas a little bit ago so I've missed the last 3 or 4 pages of this thread. Will have to try and catch up....

Fuck that. I didn't contribute anything, except for occasional venting about getting my wallet yanked from my pocket at the casino.

Give me trip report.

Wang
