The 10 Track Mixtape Thread (Song Lists Without Links Will Be Deleted)

Cobe Kai · 09-11-2008, 08:15 PM

1.The Melvins - The Talking Horse
This song is my favourate of the Melvins, and indeed my favourate of all time! It's mixture of riffs and Dale's amazing drumming make it a great track. The music video is great, too.

2.The Pixies - Where Is My Mind?
This song is probably the band's anthem. The band who created 'loud, quiet, loud' and have influenced so many important bands, this song just makes me happy and I love it so much my band are recording it on the 12th of September.

3.Nirvana - Love Buzz
This song got me into alternative music, which is now the biggest thing in my life musically. Krist's bassline and Kurt's playing with Chad's drumming make this cover one hell of a song!

4.Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over the Rainbow/ Wonderful World
A song that everyone knows, but not the artist, who is a legend. This song cheers me up and drove me to learn to play Ukulele.

5.Creed - My Sacrifice
The band's anthemic song always brings a tear to my eye... this will be played at my funeral. This song epitomises emotion.

6.Screaming Trees - Butterfly
I can't put my finger on what makes this song appeal to me... it has inspired my lyric work and guitar work... this band, this song... amazing.

7.Dirty Bob - Point of No Return
They're a local band I went to see, bought their album. They've got so much talent. After seeing the guitarist work with so many effects pedals and make beautiful and catchy and hard rocking riffs, it inspired me to write the only solo with a wah pedal I've written and liked.

8.Alice in Chains - Down in a Hole
When I heard this song, I fell in love with the band and it has been a staple on my ipod ever since. Their music seems to fit every mood I'm ever in. All of their songs are amazing such as 'Here Come's The Rooster' and 'Them Bones'

9.Army of Freshmen - Juliet
This may seem out of place on this list, but I am a huge fan and friend of them, I even have a signed guitar from them! This song fits me so well. It's basically about a nerd fancying a girl who don't know about him. It's one of their anthemic songs. I love it. I also learned a lot about how to put on a show from their gigs.

10.Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears
The first song I ever saw on kerrang! when I was about 7. Eleven years later, I've seen Zakk Wylde and Ozzy live and Ozzy still remains a huge influence of mine with all of his music from his Sabbath days through to his days now with Zakk Wylde, one of my favourate guitarists of all time. I've learned so much from them.

It was incredibly hard to write this list. I hope nobody disrespects me for it. Since it reflects my alternative background and is just a compilation of what I love.

thanks very much waspstar nice playlist

jackhammer · 09-13-2008, 02:21 PM

OK I have had given Waspstars comp a run through. Initial thoughts:

Razor Dance- Richard Thompson. Vocals reminded me of David Byrne a little which is no bad thing. However it did'nt blow me away. 'twas Okay.

Tell Me, Momma- Bob Dylan. Never heard this before. Very good tune. Enjoyed it a lot.

Mad, Mady Judy- Buzzcocks. I still need to get the first three albums as I only have their singles album. Great track.

Straight Jacket- The Attractions. Very indicative of it's time. Nothing to blow me away.

Hold On- Steve Jones. I remember when this album came out and hating everything about it. My opinion still has'nt changed

Swargmitha- The Aidenn Trilogy. Whilst sounding a little like The Cure and being fairly unoriginal, I like this big time. I will have to find some more by them.

Penna State Line- Pupa's Window.Unsure about this one. It teeters perilously close to the sort of banal mid tempo acoustic number that I don't like.

Reno, Nevada- Richard & Mimi Farina. The backing vocals eventually killed my liking this track.

The Wheel & The Maypole- XTC. One of the best U.K bands, criminally overlooked by the general public. Top band.

The Train From Kansas City- The Shangri-Las; Amazing piano riff, a perfect vocal, and for a 60's pop song, the lyrics aren't all that bad.

You said it as well as I could.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 09-16-2008, 04:05 PM

Not done one of these in ages so I present....

Urbans Obscure(ish)Post Punk Bands Who Don't Really Get Much Attention On The Forum Compilation

It's not all Joy Division , Gang Of Four and Public Image Ltd you know....

01 - Inner City Unit - Watching The Grass Grow
This seems as good a place as any to start.
This band who i've talked about a lot in the past were fronted by ex Hawkwind man Nick Turner.
This song was the first ever No 1 song in the first ever week of the Indie charts.
Taken from the album Pass Out (1980)

02 - Liquid Liquid - Cavern
Ever wondered where Grandmaster Flash got THAT bassline from?
Well now you know
Taken from the E.P. Optimo (1983)

03 - The Teardrop Explodes - Reward
Years before he was writing fantastic books about Krautrock Julian Cope wrote possibly the best post punk single ever.
(If you forget Love Will Tear Us Apart ever existed)
Taken from the album Kilimanjaro (1980)

04 - Section 25 - Dirty Disco
It wouldn't be a proper post punk compilation without a band off Factory Records.
Think Gang Of Four with a phat bassline , less sixth form politics and a lot more balls.
Taken from the album Always Now (1981)

05 - Blurt - Alouette
Spazzy jazz
Taken from the album Pagan Strings (1992)

06 - Sad Lovers And Giants - Things We Never Did
Echo & The Bunnymen with horns
Taken from the album Epic Garden Music (1982)

07 - MX-80 Sound - Tidal Wave
More spazzy jazz but with a much more obvious punk influence
Taken from the album Hard Attack (1977)

08 - Fad Gadget - Ideal World
Fad Gadget are usually known as a fine synthpop band .
However this first track off their fourth album showed that they also liked to rock out a bit too.
Taken from the album Gag (1984)

09 - Savage Republic - Next To Nothing
Savage Republic are an interesting one.
They were hugely influenced by African music and Africa was a re-occurring topic in their lyrics.
Yet they played with the same type of intensity & chaos as The Birthday Party.
Taken from the album Tragic Figures (1982)

10 - Blue Orchids - The Flood
The Blue Orchid were formed in 1979 by Martin Bramah & Una Baines from the original line up of The Fall.
A bit more melodic than The Fall but not a million miles away.
Taken from the album The Greatest Hit (Money Mountain) (1982)

***Obligatory Song By The Fall***

11 - The Fall - Leave The Capitol
Well you didn't think they wouldn't be here.
I decided to go with this forgotten little gem off their Slates E.P.
The lyrics are about vampires but it's just a thinly veiled attack by MES on London.
Taken from the E.P. Slates (1981)

Yoink!

I forgot to say that Waspstar's was good, some good tracks i didn't have by Dylan and the Buzz****s, though that Steve Jones song made me squirm a bit.

I think I'm about the only person in the world who genuinely likes the Steve Jones album. It's so awful and cheesy and cliched that it's good in a weird way. The same thing goes for the Attractions album (Mad About The Wrong Boy).

Downloading Urban's comp now!
