Ok this is going to be the new mixtape topic I put it in media but if its not the best place then move it cus I can't. The rules are post a mixtape of whatever you want to share with us then talk about them. Usually mediafire.com is a good way to upload them for free. You can make a mixtape about anything. I don't know if we still have the old mixtape topic around here but it'd def be a good example of what to do.

This is the very first mixtape topic its from 08, theres alotta good stuff in here: http://www.saltw.net/index.php?topic=76844.0

This is a mixtape topic Ryan made later its got some funk stuff in it. http://www.saltw.net/index.php?topic=78625.0

Here is my mixtape, its a collection of different folk, blues, southern rock, and country. Alot of the songs got a different blend of those things pretty much. I put fourteen songs on it and had to leave a couple out and I lost a bunch when I formatted my HD so if I end up comin across alot of stuff later and this ones well recieved I might make another.

Song List:

Ben Nichols - The Kid
JJ Grey and Mofro - Everything good is bad
Drive-by Truckers - Birthday Boy
The Black Keys - Flash of Silver
Avett Brothers - November Blue
M. Ward - Chinese Translation
Otis Taylor - Hey Joe
Lucero - Sing Me No More Hymns
The Pack A.D. - Wolves and Werewolves
Lucero - The War
Calexico and Willy Nelson - Senor (Bob Dylan Cover)
Matt Costa - Behind the Moon
Patrick Sweany - Them Shoes
Scott Biram - Still Drunk, Still Crazy, Still Blue

Would you be able to upload a .rar file or something containing the whole thing? or is there a way to d/l an entire folder of mediafire stuff? if not that's fine I'll check it out later!
 
I'll put something together later on today I guess!!

is this gonna happen...whos gonna participate...

yeah I'm fixing it now. DO IIT RAMCI DO IT

i see! maybe i get something done for this, maybe not. expect 20 copies of bruce springsteen's im going down... tbh it's been pretty unprolific musically for me lately, not much new stuff and half of them catamites rec/classic postpunk radio awww yeah nerds gettin laid... and i'm in a hurry buuuut maybe i get inspiration and i do it before i need to focus on other stuff. out of bat one idea but dunno if it's fleshed out enough

ok should be fixed lemme know if it doesn't work.

who needs mixtapes? get outta here...

anyone know how to get a text file or something listing all the files in a folder? I have too many songs in my double-decker to write out all of them.

edit: ugh my mixtape is still in the works because some total dingbat put DRM on a file that isn't even attributed to the correct artist and I can't let it go

I made a quick mix! There's some postpunks and some noisy shit and also some goofy old songs.
 
http://www.mediafire.com/?p08y5lm49tvy4t2
 
Basil Kirchin - Emergence
Desperate Bicycles - The Medium Was Tedium
Harry Pussy - I Don't Care About Sleep Anymore
Harry James - Sleepy Lagoon
Minutemen - Paranoid Chant
Dale Hawkins - Everglades
The Fall - Spectre Vs Rector
The Urinals - I'm A Bug
Vivien Goldman - Private Armies
David Thomas & Two Pale Boys - Prepare For The End
Benny Goodman Quartet - Moonglow
 
IDK if it has any kind of flow or theme and I also don't know if longer, weirder tracks like the Kirchin, Fall, Thomas ones are suitable for mixtapes at all! But they're all good songs.

here's my 'tape. it's a doozy, a double decker. it does contain several repeats from catamites and a couple tracks from FO:NV, but most of it should be new. also it's mostly upbeat because that's what the person I made it for wanted.

it's full of oldies, something like 40 tracks. some of the songs are kinda rare, others are pretty well-known. I ended up having to separate it into two sections, 1 mostly being older pop and big band standards and 2 having music more from the 50s and up. some of the songs are actually relatively recent, but they fit in well!

1 http://www.mediafire.com/?vhjo1n66uyw9u0k
includes several songs by Gene Austin and Jane Green, two kinda forgotten pop singers from the 20s. also lots of big band, including a few live recordings of songs by Duke Ellington and Benny
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuPyh7YVP0U Gene Austin - China Boy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6orDcL0zt34 Lotte Lenya - Alabama Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxMz5nmJwvs Jane Green - Mine All Mine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQZXikshjqQ Glenn Miller Orchestra - Pennsylvania 6-5000 (my 'tape has a better version than the one Leland dances to in twin peaks, it moseys)
edit: the teardrops, bing crosby, and ink spots songs all belong in the second collection, if you wanna move them

2 http://www.mediafire.com/?gtodrzs7dbcs4b4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpEA5QGYJFQ Mickey and Sylvia - Love is Strange
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxCaX-u_lC0&feature=fvst Billy Justis - Raunchy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SaHPgTdF1g The Diamonds - Little Darlin'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34hJZHcqNZM John Zacherle - Dinner with Drac (there's a kids version and an adults version of this song, this is the version for adults. it's bloodier)

I'm still looking for more pop standards/oldies. this is just the tip of the iceberg.

heres one i made earlier

http://www.saltw.net/index.php?topic=81955.msg1618989#msg1618989

but i'm gonna do another!! mixtapes rule!!

Haven't had a chance to really listen yet but that sounds good Earl. If you want old pop songs then there are big 3-disk torrents around the place for the Singing Detective and Pennies From Heaven soundtracks which have a lot of good stuff in them. Also I have an old mixtape I got from some blog which was pretty great and had eg the Benny Goodman / Harry James tracks from my mix and one by Bix Biecerkwasdf and a bunch more which I can upload if you want. As well as some recordlabel sampler with a bunch of cool old british jazz track things.
 
edit also for goofy 50s/60s rnb/garage/pop the lux and ivy's favourites mixtapes are a really good source. i think dinner with dracula was actually in one of these too. but theres like a dozen of them and a lot of kitsch so idk maybe its too obsessive. okay ill stop now

yeah I have a few lux and ivys, and I used a couple songs I got from their favorites on my mix. I have the one that has dinner with drac on it but they labeled it wrong, that really burned me up. also the one with the mummy on it, but I decided to save that for a halloween mixtape or let someone else use it. I'm relatively new to 50's and 60's music besides the very most popular artists/songs so I'll have to get around to listening to the rest of their mixes

you don't have to do anything special but I'll take whatever you want to upload! I also lost your rockabilly mixtape but I got the betty mcquaid tounge-tied song back from a lux and ivy mix and put it on mymix aaa snort SPIT I love mixtapes mix all your music for me

edit: I just listened to my mixtape straight through and it's really good you spoiled ungrateful slugs. the teardrops, bing crosby and ink spots songs belong on the second tape tho.

thanks, I love spooky tracks. I WILL download

apparently the new New Vegas dlc is names after a Gene Austin song, so much for being relatively forgotten

whoa tristero we like a lot of similar music!

anyway i made a sort of summer chillwave mix if summer was reduced to slow down and slightly eerie/purple/synth stuff

the dewolfe track is from the "forest of evil vol 2" album, i forget who did it, it is like 70s library/incidental music but quite good, you can d/l the whole album here and i'd definitely recommend it. very spooky... halloween is near... :twisted: :skeleton: :occult:
my favourite song is the julie london one although i have absolutely no idea why. i like the production too, joe meek recoils in horror etc
 
i really liked the micheal hurley song from dickos first 'tape and the duke ellington tracks from earls. i havent heard the others yet but i intend to change that...

I made a singer-songwriter mix. Good for introspective autumn and winter car-rides.

LINER NOTES:
most of this stuff is by people i like/know already because ive been sluggish about getting into any new music. Track 1 is a Giant Sand song from the album "Long Stem Rant" which is probably their sloppiest album (apart from "The Love Songs" natch!!!). I think it was all improvised over a few days in a barn somewhere. Track 2 is a religious song by Alex 'Oogum Boogum' Chilton. Track 3 is from Kurt Weill's "The Silverlake, A Winter's Tale", I don't know much about the rest of this musical play. I don't know anything about Track 4, I found it on some newwave mixtape. Track 5 is a demo but idk if a final version was ever recorded! It's a good song that hints at a promising WASP-Pop direction for the talented Cristina. Track 6 is a BBC Radiophonic minipiece. Track 7 is from Link Wray's acoustic(!) self-titled country album that he recorded in a chicken shed and highlights the growing awareness of social issues and his native american heritage which would later inform tracks like the haunting 'Genocide'. Track 8 is surprisingly punkish old New Orleans R'n'B by the man who wrote 'Lipstick Traces (On A Cigarette)', number one song. Track 9 is old british jazz i think. Track 10 is a good Richard Hell song, I think the entire 'Destiny Street' album got recreated recently with less bizarre production on it but I haven't heard it yet. Track 11 is a cautionary funk song about the importance of not losing your groove. Track 12 is by british punk z-listers The Snivelling Shits who are possibly best known for their track "I Can't Come", a song about taking so many amphetamines that you are no longer able to orgasm. I don't know anything about Track 13. Track 14 is old british jazz / library music with a reflective tone by the excellent Basil Kirchin and someone else. Track 15 is actually two tracks that I didn't bother to split up, they're both good but 'Jerusalem' is the best. It's an adaptation of the William Blake poem. Track 16 is an old instrumental country/blues guitar piece with cool tones and sounds and what appears to be a commercial advert in the middle of it. and that's it!!
