*** The Themed Weekly Member Mixtape Thread Is Back ***

[Dr_Rez]

I have had some personal issues the last month or so and havnt been able to keep up with anything. Can I submit any track for this next deadline or is a theme in place?

[djchameleon]

novel/literature is the theme it looks like.

I'll look for something myself.

1. Coil - The Dreamer Is Still Asleep (bob.)....what can i say....i love Coil....i don't remember my dreams but i really hope this is what they sound like
2. Colin Stetson - A Dream of Water (Frownland)....kind of beat coffee bar jazz with wonderful spoken work....and water at the end....great track
3. Draconian - A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal (Carpe Mortem)....not bad....a little to "epic" for me....is this really considered "doom metal"?....she has a very pretty voice....his made me laugh a bit
4. Hallucinogen - Gamma Goblins (It's Turtles All the Way Down Mix) (Mondo Bungle)....not bad....i was a little hesitant as i just don't like Shpongle or their concept of what a psychedelic experience should be....but this was interesting....it got a little stale in the middle but really picked right back up
5. Leadbelly - Where Did You Sleep Last Night? (hate paper doll)....a great version of...well what could only be called one of the most important songs in American history
6. R.E.M. - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite (hate paper doll) one of the better tracks from Automatic For the People....really makes me want to go back and listen to it....i tend to concentrate on their older albums these days
7. The Postal Service - Sleeping In (hate paper doll) i always confuse Postal Service with another band and then i remember that its that fucker from Death Cab....in all honesty this song was really good....just don't think i'm willing to let it all go
8. The Smiths - Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me (hate paper doll) one of my favorite tracks from Strangeways.....and a perfect track for the topic

[Stupid Genius]

haha love this one!

[Carpe Mortem]

1. Coil - The Dreamer Is Still Asleep (bob.) Sweet intro, tranquil, defeatedly depressing 7/10
2. Colin Stetson - A Dream of Water (Frownland) Cool, orchestral, maddening 7/10
3. Draconian - A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal (Carpe Mortem) Heartbreaking, epic, simple 8/10
4. Hallucinogen - Gamma Goblins (It's Turtles All the Way Down Mix) (Mondo Bungle) Meh, had its moments, coolish. 5/10
5. Leadbelly - Where Did You Sleep Last Night? (hate paper doll) Oldschool, calming, simple 8/10
6. R.E.M. - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite (hate paper doll) Rambunctious, vocals meh, repetitive 5/10
7. The Postal Service - Sleeping In (hate paper doll) Sedative, optimistic-dreamlike, smiles 6/10
8. The Smiths - Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me (hate paper doll) Great instrumental work, fantastic flow, loved it 9/10


Since participation isn't the greatest on this and HPD has been inspiring, maybe we all do two tracks for each theme from here on out?

Oops. Been working a lot lately so this sort of slipped my mind. The deadline is officially extended until this Saturday (June 14) because I barely got any submissions. If anyone wants to submit two tracks I'll take it, but let's keep it to two for now.

So anyone who's late to the game should join in on the fun! You have four days to send me your literature themed track(s).
