Maybe
some kind of post-punk comp
Noise Rock
Jazz
...would be appreciated.

I can do noise and post-punk sometime. I'm also working on a pop/punk one.

Id love a stevie wonder comp seing as theirs rumours he is playing glasto.

He is a big gaping hole in my music collection and I like what I know.

Otis reading and Louis Armstrong would be others.

If anyone can reccomend any Metal bands similar to opeth id be happy to take a listen. The amount of Metal I listen to these days is dismal and id love someone to give me a fresh perspective on it.

Electronica, specifically trip-hop and more ambient elements of house music. No dubstep or dnb please.

It'd be cool if some kind soul could do a bebop and/or hard bop comp, as I need some more of that stuff.

Might be able to do an electronica comp. I'll have a think about a possible tracklisting soon.

I could do a Noise Rock comp. Urban would do a great Post Punk and maybe Satchmo with the Jazz comp.

yeah, definately Satch for Jazz^

I'll just agree with some others, post-punk would be great and jazz would be interesting because I actually have a relatively large amount of it due to my grandfather having a bunch of it, but I'm kind of stuck on where to start.

Electronica too I guess.

Just uploading a couple of electronic mixes as I type this. May or may not follow it up with an Aussie punk one...

Echo & The Bunnymen
Beastie Boys
The Specials:

I have all three brewing in my head if anyone wants.

Anyone up for doing Captain Beefheart? I have a couple of albums but would welcome a comp.

I got you covered. :pimp:

Too late - I've deleted my post and backed out!

I'll just upstage him with that Ausrock comp I was on about a few posts back ;) If I can ever be bothered with it obviously.

I'm listening to Laughing Clowns right now :thumb:

Boduf Songs
Land of Talk
Belle & Sebastian (if one doesn't already exist)

Anyone want:
Sufjan Stevens
Against Me!
Ben Folds
MF Doom

?

I might take a Ben Folds if it was made.

Ones I was considering doing if anyone's interested:
Dinosaur Jr. (apparently done already but I couldn't find it)
Melvins
Beck
The Blood Brothers
John Frusciante
Refused

I'd be interested in Beck.

If anyone wants Nirvana or Mudhoney let me know.

Refused don't have too big of a discography, I'd say just listen to The Shape of Punk to Come and Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent, in that order.

That's basically why I didn't bother before, just thought I'd mention them. There are a few gems in the demo and ep comp though.

Those sound nice.

I'd like to see one for black metal.

If you wouldn't mind, I would appreciate these. Thanks!

I would be hounoured (see, I even spelled it all British-like just for you).

* Honoured

:D

It's...uh...extra British.

That's the spirit :D

Thanks a lot man, I've only got 4 or 5 bebop/hard-bop albums, so I'll be looking forward to your comp.

Good. I'm really looking forward to putting it together.

I'm looking forward to this as well.
It's some of my favourite Jazz and I'm interested to see what you pick.

Sonic Youth
Smashing Pumpkins
Rage Against the Machine
Andrew Bird
Silversun Pickups

Is there a Sun Ra or Residents comp up yet? I've dabbled in both but due to the breadth of their discographies I really haven't poked too hard, I'd love to see something in that direction.

How about Joy Division? Everyone talks about them, but I haven't really been able to get into them.

I call doing Joy Division.

A beginners guide would probably include all their tracks officially laid down so if you don't dig this then Joy Division are not for you:

Oh, and
Arctic Monkeys
Art Brut
British Sea Power
The arcade fire.


Please :)

I'll do Arctic Monkeys if I ever have enough energy to make a compiliation

Please please do

Should have it within the next couple of days. There's actually a lot of stuff that I would like to acquire for the mix.

Seeing as it looks like Stevie Wonder will be playing Glastonbury does anyone fancy whipping up a comp.

I'm almost sure I will be seeing him but I only know very little.
