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

misspoptart · 06-16-2014, 10:32 AM

Hey Frownland, I wanna play. Is a youtube link enough for the mixtape or how do you prefer? Sorry if you wrote your rules somewhere, I went back a bit but couldn't find specifics.

Thanks...

Btw, you mean fall as in autumn, right?

Shoot me a link in PM and I'll add it to this one.

Feel free to interpret fall in any way you like, falling, autumn, songs by the fall, whatever you feel fits it.

James: Television Personalities - A Picture of Dorian Gray

Meloncholy, breezy atmosphere. The guitars sound like someone just learned how to play.

Frownland: The Red Krayola - Sherlock Holmes

Diggin the bass on this one. Freestyle-ish.

djchameleon: Sufjan Stevens - A Good Man Is Hard to Find

A bit of dissonance in this one. Catchy. I like it.

Plankton: Michael Schenker - Captain Nemo

Maybe one of the greatest guitar instrumentals ever produced.
\m/

bob.: The Police - Tea in the Sahara

I've listened to Synchronicity a few times in my travels, and never paid much attention to this tune, which as I'm reading from the wiki that it's based on a the novel Sheltering Sky. Interesting. I love Copeland, and Summers. A bit of a break in the action for them, since it's not really technically tasking.

James: The National - City Middle

Not something I'd run out and buy, but nice.

Plankton: Blue Öyster Cult - The Siege and Investiture of Baron von Frankenstein's Castle at Weisseria

A BOC fave. I love the piano in this. Beautiful and moving.
I didn't know Joe Cerisano was part of it, until I just read about it.

bob.: Current 93 - The Final Church

Not a real big fan of the limerick type thing, but I can sit through some. Dude gets pretty angry.

Frownland: Billy Woods - The Man Who Would Be King

I can understand how rap is expression, and there is a place for it, but... yeah. Not a fan.

James: Television Personalities - A Picture of Dorian Gray
great and very underrated post punk album....great track from it...taken from a great novel by a wonderful human being

Frownland: The Red Krayola - Sherlock Holmes
super groovy psychedelic....very reminiscent of the more fun and relaxed early Pink Floyd tracks....already looking into their discography

djchameleon: Sufjan Stevens - A Good Man Is Hard to Find
i've tried before to get into this guy but just never could do it.....at that...i really like this song and the feelings it produces....reading a bit about the short story it's based on....intrigues me in both this album and that collection

Plankton: Michael Schenker - Captain Nemo
so this isn't really up my alley....but i did l;isten to it twice and certainly can accept the talent....but on second listen i really tried to envision Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea....and the song really works with my thoughts of that book

bob.: The Police - Tea in the Sahara
so i had to choose a song that is about The Sheltering Sky....and it came down to this one and the song Lost by Neurosis....the reason i chose this one is because it's actually a song about a story told by a prostitute to one of the protagonists in the early part of the novel....and it really encompasses just what this book is about
James: The National - City Middle
this is my favorite of this mix...just a really good song both musically and lyrically....what exactly is the Lit connection?

Plankton: Blue Öyster Cult - The Siege and Investiture of Baron von Frankenstein's Castle at Weisseria
what can be said about Blue Oyster Cult....this is epic and awesome

bob.: Current 93 - The Final Church
ok so this is absolute plagiarism....but in a cut and paste kind of way....the lyrics to this song are simply the forth chapter of the amazing surrealist novel Les Chants de Maldoror.....whats great is i've been listening to this album for damn near 20 years....but only finally got a copy and read Maldoror two or three years ago....so i started chapter four and it was reading the lyrics to this song out of order....both make sense in an odd kind way....and both in their respective order....basically tell the same thing

also if you like surrealism, dada, actionism, yippie, anything involving some form of forcing people to think differently....you should read this book

Frownland: Billy Woods - The Man Who Would Be King
lets just say two minutes into this....and i was buying this album

**Frownland** · 06-22-2014, 10:15 AM

Last day for submissions!

**Frownland** · 06-24-2014, 02:07 PM

Sorry for dropping the ball (again) guys, my schedule's been a bit hectic lately. The new tape will be up shortly (any last minute submissions will be considered!)

It references 'Cat On A Hot Tin Roof' and Tennessee Williams in the lyrics, couldn't resist submitting it as it's one of my favourite plays by one of my favourite humans.

Okay, starting this **** back up. Given the holiday coming up, the new theme will be scary songs. You guys have until next Friday, Nov. 14 to PM me a track (or email if that's preferable for you).

Go!

**Goofle** · 10-30-2014, 10:59 AM

PM a youtube track or a download?
