EDIT: and I'm gonna snag that mixtape Pobody's Nerfect, it looks fantastic as well.

Which one was it? I assume the second one. Well, order or not, it would have still ended up being random

Yes. I had a problem with the Hoyry Kone track when I tried converting it to mp3 format, it doesn't seem to finish. I was able to listen to it and it definitely ended abruptly, shame, I really liked it.

lucifer_sam · 03-14-2009, 07:19 PM

I think I want it as well, man. Great mixtape too, btw. I particularly enjoyed the .357 String Band track, well conceived.

Haha yeah .357 String Band hold a special place in my heart. I just sent you a PM with Pinebox Serenade.

So I don't double post I'm going to just edit this post with a new Mixtape (when you're unemployed you find that you have a lot of time on your hands.)

Live Band Hip Hop

01. Big City Bright Lights - Artofficial

A group I've had for about a year now, a very good blend of jazz and hip hop.

02. Digital Cafe (ft. Viveca) - Audible Mainframe

Were my favourite group for about a month, this song in particular. Very relaxing with a beat you can't help but nod your to.

03. American Machine - The Blend

High energy band, one of the best out there right now. I will be uploading this album to mediafire soon so if you like them just send me a PM.

04. America Loves Gangsta (ft. Tim Means) - CunninLynguists

People who read the Hip Hop section in these forums know how much I praise this group, well for those of you who haven't have the pleasure of hearing them, now you can.

05. Rise - Flobots

I found this song to be more power than the bigger single "Handlebars", none-the-less this group proves that hip hop needs more cello!

06. Follow - G Band Free

Ahhh this song is easily in my top 10 songs of all time, such a meaningful beautiful song, I have this group uploaded to mediafire so if you like them and want more just send me a PM.

07. Beautiful - Animate Objects

While I wasn't a huge fan of the album in it's entirety this song in particular stood out above the rest. I've found that it flows very well after "Follow" in case anyone was wondering if I put them back-to-back on purpose.

08. There U R - Restoring Poetry In Music

One of my favourite groups that I don't spin regularly enough, Let me know what you think of this one.

09. Doomsday Device - Warsawpack

One of those bands I have that I feel proud to have, very insightful lyrics on politics and world events with a hip hop/ reggae tone, not to be overlooked.

10. Aggression - Gruvis Malt

A weird way to end the playlist, it's one of those songs you'll either hate or love, I'm hoping for the later.

9. Drunk Teenagers - Joel Plaskett Emergency

I'm getting a few good acoustic songs together that would be perfect for lounging around on a sunny day... stop me if you guys think it's a stupid idea.

No way, go for it Alex.

Canadian Mixtape

Elliott BROOD - Miss You Now

Probably my favourite song off their newest LP "Mountain Meadows", a perfect way to end an album. If you're a fan of their sound or interested in the "gothic americana" genre then this is a great song to start off with.

Buck 65 - Way Back When

I like to refer to Buck 65 as Canada's Aesop Rock, both have very abstract styles of writing as well as similar ways of delivery. This is one of my favourite Buck 65 songs, perfect for driving down a windy road at night.

Luther Wright & the Wrongs - Comfortably Numb

Bluegrass band out of Kingston Ontario, these guys did a ballsy move by releasing their first album as a bluegrass version of Pink Floyds' "The Wall". So many good songs it was hard to choose just one, but I figured everyone who is a fan of Pink Floyd knows the song "Comfortably Numb" and therefor people would get the most enjoyment out of hearing a bluegrass version.

Jon Lajoie - Pop Song

I'm sure at least some of you guys on this forum are familiar with this guy from his Youtube videos "Everyday Normal Guy", "Two Girls One Cup" and "Show Me Your Genitals". This is one of the songs I had not heard before and was quite impressed when I did. Essentially it's a painfully true spoof on Pop music, both the music and the people behind it.

LuciDream - Lady Midnight

Perhaps one of my favourite bands from Canada, this little known group emerged from the ashes of Internal Affairs and become something much more. A combination of acoustic indie and hip hop I have not heard an album or band for that matter quite like LuciDream. Hailing from Calgary of all places, this group is sadly no longer around and only produced one album, but it's one album that you can listen to time and time again.

Devin Townsend - Tiny Tears

Devin Townsend holds a very special place in my heart. His music, like his moods, changes on a dime (the joys of being bi-polar). While Strapping Young Lad was a way for him to vent his more... evil and angry thoughts, his solo stuff was a way for him to vent of more of his less angry and evil stuff. Not that it's particularly happy, the songs tend to deal with failed relationships, suicide, and the other trifles we find in this thing called life.

VoiVod - Rebel Robot

It was hard for me to choose just one song from this group as I have their entire discography. One of the few Canadian thrash metal bands that managed to pierce the International market and become known outside of Canada.

The Smalls - My Saddle Horse Has Died

Corb Lund (singer from the country band "Corb Lund & the Hurtin Albertans) punk/rock/jazz/metal side project. An interesting, provocative, and catchy group, this song in particular was later featured on one of Corb's country albums which gave me hope that a Small's reunion was in the future but so far nothing has come. Regardless this version of the song is absolutely fantastic and hypnotic.

The Tea Party - The Bazaar

Probably the most mainstream song on this playlist, as well as the most mainstream band I have on my computer. I cannot get enough of these guys. The vocalist Jeff Martin has one of the deepest voices that can accurately hit the low notes and make them very melodic. This song is particular has always stood out to me as one of their best.

The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets - Operation Get the Hell Outta Here

Local (to Vancouver, not Reno) this band has quickly risen above other ones as probably my favourite Canadian group that is still together. They are a H.P. Lovecraft inspired band, so many of the lyrics contain references to his work, sometimes blatant and sometimes more obscure. This song in particular is pretty easy to get if you're familiar with H.P. Lovecraft's work. See if you can guess what story they're referencing.

Well I hope you enjoy this mixtape and if you're interested in hearing more by any of the bands just PM me and I'll see what I can do to give you the entire album or albums.

Marlo · 03-23-2009, 05:37 PM

how about someone make a catchy song theme? something you can just play over and over with a cravin to hear it later on.

ps. pobody, amazing hip-hop mixtape you made on page 79!! you jus got me into flobots ...

LoathsomePete · 03-23-2009, 07:32 PM
