I can only listen to WMA files in the video player on my computer so for something that's part of a comp it kind of disrupts the flow with me having to stop the comp and launch a different program just to hear the one track. It also means I can't burn it to CD or listen to it on my iPod or anything. So if it's possible for you to convert it to an MP3 that would be great for me and other people with my same situation, but if not I can still listen to it so don't sweat it too much.

No don't worry if I can't convert it I will just ditch it.

You can convert it easily in Foobar... >Right click on song and >Convert

You need the LAME converter for that and for some reason I just can't get it to work which annnoys the crap out of me because I'm usually on the money with PC'S.

Ah, that sucks... What version of foobar do you have? Think mine came straight with install.

Either way, great tool

Of course I still can't get half of my friends to swap from iTunes (Memory hog) to foobar...

jackhammer

I probably have less than 3% in WMA so it's no biggie. Foobar is the nuts and doesn't drain your RAM like every other media player. I have used it for a couple of years now.

Anyway, back on topic, I have yet to DL any compilations, but that should be a problem TOO much longer

I await your next compilation, hopefully I find a surprise or two

Seven Songs To Tell Your Ex To Fuck Off To





Janszoon's Seven Songs To Tell Your Ex To Fuck Off To Mix
I've learned something about myself with this mix: apparently I'm a sarcastic bastard because almost none of these songs are very obviously angry musically, at least at a surface level, but almost all of them are extremely sarcastic lyrically. Also, yes, there are two Ween songs on this comp. What can I say? Ween are just that good at writing fuck off songs.

1. The dB's—"Amplifier"
2. Ween—"Falling Out"
3. The Shods—"Musta Been Drunk"
4. Ween—"Baby Bitch"
5. Stan Ridgway—"King for a Day"
6. Heretix—"10-2-1"
7. Bob Mould—"Roll Over and Die"



Jackhammer's Seven Songs To Tell Your Ex To Fuck Off To Mix
Song descriptions from Jackhammer:

1. Archive—"Fuck you"
The lyrics are perfect and the way they are delivered so casually adds a laconic honesty.

2. Sex Pistols—"No Feelings"
Kinda clichéd but this is a general rant at everyone and probably one of my earliest recollections of vitriolic lyrics.

3. Mansun—"You,Who Do You Hate?"
I have chosen this a little more for the music although the lyrics are strangely apt and are saying that if I ever come back I want to be as hateful as you. So when the gently strummed acoustic riff is punctured by this huge crashing guitar/drum combo it just feels hateful.

4. Garbage—"Not My Idea"
Shirley Manson's lyrics are full of undisguided rage at times but delivered almost sweetly:
"You thought I was a little girl
You thought I was a little mouse
You thought you'd take me by surprise
Now I'm here burning down your house"

5. Flyleaf—"I'm So Sick"
As soon as I heard this song the female singer genuinely sounded pissed off and hateful. Unfortunately the rest of the album was awful but this is still a great ballsy song and those screams are yum

6. Bitch Alert—"Heroine"
A terrible name for an all girl band and it's kind of cliched musically too but the lyrics 'I Don't Wanna love you' are succinct.

7. Nina Simone—"It Aint No Use"
A kind of bittersweet way to end the list and what better way than Nina Simone telling you it's all over baby?

Noice. Will be on yours shortly. I had a real problem as I dwell on things instead of getting angry so the tracks were veering towards melancholy. I can't hate for too long.

Janszoon's mix:

Well again we took a different route and your choices are almost upbeat and juxtaposed with the lyrical content seems to be a guy who doesn't dwell on anything for too long. Loved the first Ween track and a perfect reminder that I have an album of theirs unlistened to yet. The Shods track would be perfect to put on a cassette and posted to your ex as a snide remark

Stan Rigdway is a name I haven't heard for years but I have to say that I didn't much care for this track but I really liked the Heretix track.

This compilation makes me seem like a pessimistic bastard as it's quite upbeat and a celebration that she's gone! Great stuff. I may have to give the Heretix album a listen
