What should April's Bi-Monthly Comp Theme Be?

Guybrush · 03-13-2010, 09:24 AM

Yep, it's a poll and it's about the bi-monthly compilation.

Every month, some of us contribute with tracks to make a mix-tape. Some of these compilations, the ones being published around the middle of each month, is themed so all submitted tracks should adhere to some theme or general concept.

What's april's theme gonna be? You get multiple choices and if you have an idea yourself, just air it and I'll add it to the poll.

As usual, feel free to suggest a theme! I'll add it to this and future polls.

i want to suggest themes:
Cross-genre - not sure bout this one cause most of what's submitted is, but it's just a thought
Campfire Songs - self-explanatory
Biblical References - self-explanatory

Cross genre I'm finding a bit hard to include at the moment (though feel free to flesh it out more), but I'll add the other two!

I'm voting Satan, always good for a laugh or as a nice literary device.

Looks like it might turn into battle between gutter life and weird .. If at the end of the poll they have the same amount of votes, I'll go with gutter life as it's been on the list longer than weird. So, weird needs an extra vote from it's supporters!

Both Film Noir and Folklore themes seem tempting. I'm afraid of the cheesyness the second one might get into though.
Songs about Satan also seems interesting enough...
I can't seem to make up my mind.

Edit: I guess Life In The Gutter is also pretty awesome...I see some Tom Waits in the future of this comp.

That's why you get multiple choices

Film Noir for me.
Though I can just download all my favourite 50s movies' soundtracks. :/
