Title: Out Of Competition Mix It Up Thread


GraemeLovesPinkLady - September 11, 2008 08:31 PM (GMT)
Now that Mopiranger has shown us all how to do uploads, I thought it might be nice to have some a thread for any pre MIU9 mixes, or indeed, anything that people might want to share with the good folk here on the forum.

I thought I'd start the ball rollin' with this:

Review excerpt

QUOTE ("freeranger")
i appreciate the effort that went into putting it together but in all honesty i cant call this a "mix" cd. as such all the songs bar a handfull are from the same genre as far as i can make out.

yawn. jap garagy 60's music. "sayonara baby, goodbye goodbye"

i'm starting to lose concentration to be honest, the cd doesnt exactly encapsulate a "mix" at this point, for me anyway.


Second opinion

QUOTE ("The-Gav")
graeme, can we have a tracklist please?

everyone - bombard this man with requests!

your mix is the tits, it has a consistent atmosphere and good flow, and i thought it was great cause it was all from kind of the same area (musically) which is arguably a bigger achievement than the usual wedding present and burial tracks with ten second gaps inbetween coming out at various volumes.

Audrey Wetherspoon - September 11, 2008 08:37 PM (GMT)

Guaranteed to work step by step method for those with Windows Media Player.

1. Burn to cd
2. Put cd with mix on into drive
3. Select rip tab in Windows Media Player - click on the little arrow bit at the bottom
4. Go to more options in drop down menu
5. Click Change button
6. Click desktop
7. Go down to audio quality slider - move it all the way to the right i.e. 320 kbps. This is so your mix is available in the best quality possible
8. Click OK at the bottom
9. Click rip tab and rip cd
10. Go to the folder on the desktop that has just appeared - right click and on drop down menu select rename, and rename it to whatever you want to call the mix
11. right click folder again
12. On the drop down menu, go to send to, and click "Compressed (zipped) folder"
13. Shortly afterwards a blue icon thingy will appear on your desktop (it should be under the folder with your uncompressed mix on)
14. Go to sendspace: www.sendspace.com
16. click browse button and select desktop (it should automatically appear anyway, but if not, select it)
17. double click blue icon thingy that has the same name as your mix
18. click tick box at the bottom left of the sendspace page
19. wait about an hour for it to upload for an 80 minute mix (it takes this long because it is at 320kbps i.e. high quality)
20. Do not, I repeat do not, navigate away from this page - you can open up a separate tab and use the internet on that tab, but leave the sendspace tab open. If you navigate away, you will have to start again
21. when it has uploaded, a link will appear. Copy and paste that into your post - this is where your mix "lives" on sendspace

Hope that helps

PS - Once you've uploaded your mix, remember to go back into the rip tab in Windows Media Player, and in the drop down menu that appears when you click the little arrow thingy, click change button and change it back to C:\My Music, or else everything you rip from now on will appear on your desktop

the_gav - September 12, 2008 02:31 AM (GMT)
okay, here's something embarassing. i have a podcast - there's one i was doing for a year or so which was for friends' ears only and i decided to just start putting them out there cause why not?
it's pretty terrible - i know that my mic is shit (my favourite song was recorded on it though, so it's my lucky mascot), and no, i'm not very good at this talking to myself business but those aren't good enough excuses not to play cool music.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/rnpj0g

Mopiranger - September 12, 2008 10:28 AM (GMT)
If anyone's interested, this is an old mix of mine - seventies funk classics, movie related songs and a bunch of other stuff:

Tracklist contains Bobby Womack, Gil Scott Heron, curtis mayfield, Fela Kuti, Junior Byles, Lalo Schifrin, the Byrds, Maceo Parker, Morricone, etc... It's pretty upbeat i think.

Thanks for putting that up Graeme. I'm listening to it now: Ano Kane O Narasu Nowa Anata - Wada Akiko just finishing. Big stuff. I find this music addictive. Otsuka Ai's Peach has been on repeat more than a few times on my mp3 player. I still don't understand a word but can nearly sing along.

GraemeLovesPinkLady - September 12, 2008 06:34 PM (GMT)
Glad you like it :)

Can't have you not understanding a word that Otsuka Ai is singing so...oshiri means arse - listen out for it in Peach (it also crops up in Cutie Honey).

If it wasn't for Wada Akiko, I wouldn't have found out about Candies, if it wasn't for Yano Akiko, I wouldn't have found out about Wada Akiko, and if it wasn't for Yuming, I wouldn't have found out about Yano Akiko. In the world of Japanese pop music, everything comes back to Yuming sooner or later.

Oh by the way, Mizutani Kimio is the guitarist on the Outcast track!

Why don't you add "Train to Skaville" and "Engine 54" by the Ethiopians?

After the recent posts on the Mix it up thread about posting reviews, I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for this thread's mix's.
Short--dont bother, or in view of the number of mix's being listened to, just post about the highlight's?
[Great pic-Head Gardner]
edit--Time as well? One hour sounds about right, might be an idea to post the length of the Mix.

Head Gardener - September 13, 2008 08:19 PM (GMT)
glad you digged the pic guys, I hope the mix
does it justice! It was recorded live last night
and tho it has a few glitches, grooves along well B)

I played Hendrix, The Thrillers and Crazy Horse too
but this is all that would fit onto a MD.

I listened to this last night whilst spamming the Asian movie thread. Don't do yourself down - maybe it just takes a little time to warm up, but the voice links by about half way through the mix are just peachy - you know, you are laughing talking about some of the tracks, and stuff like that. I don't know anything about podcasts, so I don't really know what's expected, but I thought it was much better than the pitter patter you get from a so called professional dj. One thing: when you are playing music as exciting as this, you really can't get away with saying it's boring or being self effacing about it - that's like Milky Way walking into the room, and them claiming they're not cute - as if.

Not cute?! Prrrfrhht!

I wasn't looking at the tracklisting when I listened, so I'm not sure what's what, but I liked the upbeat gabba-ry stuff the best. You mentioned this comp called Speedball i think...I should have written it down, but the song from that is the highlight for me. Another high five is the girl pop one with the vocalist who sounds like Debbie Harry does on Rapture. One last thing: your mic is a bit pants, I can't dsispute that, but at least you don't exploit it to do Dalek sound effects as other lesser lights might.

Next up: Mopiranger :thumbsup:

this is the one. exactly what you need when you get out of a morning putting various square objects in bags. :: old school raver emoticon ::

i've been lucky enough to sit in on different shows and host a couple of things out of proper studios in the past, but i prefer doing it like this. when i did national radio the people who called in were nuts / scary, and sometimes angry. i get more positive feedback for just kicking back in my room, maybe smoking a few blunts, which is more fun of course.

milky way is so awesome it hurts.

Thanks! It's a bit relentless, but I'm glad you found songs to like.

I listened to Mopiranger's mix whilst spamming the asian movie thread last night - well, actually only the first half (up to Peaches) because it's quite long, but it's as up to scratch as always. I recognised some tracks, but my favourites were the ones I didn't. I've learnt from my mistakes listening to The_Gav's podcast and have written down the stand out tracks - the top three for me were the Catgirl Louie Louie one about 9 minutes in, the one where Maceo is being told not to play, and another one with harumph sounding horns about 38 minutes in. I'm guessing no 2 is some Maceo solo stuff, but what are the other two Mopiranger?

Hoping to listen to part 2 quite soon :thumbsup:

ha thanks Graeme :)

The mix is over three years old, and i don't have a tracklisting anymore (I can't even find the mix on this computer), but you're right, there's maceo parker i think doing his signature theme, "Maceo". "Catgirl" is "the cat" doing a song called "meow", from Thai Pop A Go Go vol I.

The horn thing you're referring to, is, i think, the theme from The taking of Pelham 123.

One of the best thrillers from the seventies, it's got Walther Matthau taking on Robert Shaw - see it before the remake ruins your appetite.

GraemeLovesPinkLady - September 24, 2008 12:46 PM (GMT)
Ah, no wonder the Louie Louie Catgirl thing was bugging me - Bradx has kindly sent me this cd that you mentioned, and it's on that.

I've listened to the rest of the mix now Mopiranger (as you might guess seeing how much the Asian Movie Thread has been spammed recently). You are probably already aware of this, but the only negative thing I would say is that it is too long - it doesn't fit nicely on 2 cds. Apart from that - top stuff. I wish I had yours or The_Gav's mixatronic skillz.

thanks for the kind words, Graeme - want to add that I'm really enjoying your solid new, short mix. Personal preference goes to the Asian pop side cause it's more varied. I assume side 1 is 100% Japanese groups.
Looking forward to the sleevenotes - true to form, I had to look up why Jan Pahechan Ho sounded so familiar :)

GraemeLovesPinkLady - September 29, 2008 12:39 PM (GMT)
Oops, forgive me my slowness. You're actually keen to read some more of my ramblings about jpop?? Brilliant :)

Uh...just got slightly bogged down the last few days for two reasons, the least important of which is that it looks like I'm going to lose my job this week - the company is in a lot of financial trouble. It's no real skin off my nose because I'm quite happy to temp.

The more important reason is that I've found out that Anataboshi by Milky Way is actually an anime theme tune: GLPL's new favourite anime opening sequence. It's unusual to have live action clips as part of an opening, but it's really works. (EDIT: The move at the end of the sequence is possibly one of the most awesome dance moves in the entire history of idols. It's about 1 minute 20 seconds in).

Mixes which start with anime theme tunes always seem to go down well ;) It looks like I'll have some time on my hands soon, so watch this space. Keep it short, but not too much from the one genre you say - OK, I'll try my best.

I recently discovered this mix from The Garden Vaults which I thought
I had deleted years ago. It is a mix of cover versions, solo tracks and
of course songs by the band themselves. There is a sweet treat halfway
through with an exclusive cover version of 'We Dance' by Cat Power
performed for the show in the 90's which is previously unreleased.

Looking forward to the sleevenotes - true to form, I had to look up why Jan Pahechan Ho sounded so familiar :)

The first five songs are Group Sounds, so called because Rock and Roll is so hard to say. It was really big in 1968 mainly. It's a late Golden Cups track, from 1970, but the rest are from the 18 months from late 67 to early 69.

The Tigers were like the Japanese Beatles, though they sound more like The Monkees really. Seaside Bound is like Japan's "She Loves You" moment. Check out this performance. The singer, Sawada Kenji went on to be in many films (including the Mishima biopic) - that's nothing though. The bassist is in Monkey.

The Jaguars are Julian Cope's pick of the GS acts. Lind & the Linders had a couple of good singles, but other than that I don't know. The Carnabeats track is actually a cover of a song originally done by The Tigers. They were probably the most UK-centric of the GS bands.

S.O.S. spent 1 week at #1 at the tail-end of 1976. Over the next 2 years, Pink Lady would spend 67 weeks at #1 until they torched their career on December 31st 1978. This is the saddest day in the whole of jpop.

Sadistic Mika Band were so named after Mika's way of handling knives.

Jan Pahechan Ho is also in Ghost World I think.

I don't know anything about Rita Chao. Maybe she is Malaysian?

The End Of Asia is a legend. It's the last track on Sakamoto's debut LP. Two months later, YMO's debut record would come out, and his career just took off.

It's an interesting tune - listen to the way he splatters the melody down over the keyboard like a painter. Sakamoto is doing just what Kraftwerk were doing, but he is recasting ideas from people like Messaien and Xenakis, rather than from the Austro German tradition.

Hope that helps

I thought this would be an appropriate picture if anybody is actually crazy enough to want to burn off a cd of this 38 minute mix.

Download here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/vibldb

1. Ben Dan Zai Jian - Hey Girl
2. Spin Spider Spin - Minekawa Takeko
3. Koe wo kikitai no desu ga, kikoenai no desu - Midori
4. Denwasen - Yano Akiko (+ Little Feat, no less!)
5. The Same as a Flower - Nagisa Ni Te
6. Eejanaika - Soul Flower Union
7. Invitation - Shibasaki Kou
8. Pepero, The Andes Boy (main title) - Horie Mitsuko
9. "Lift Off" from Space Battleship Yamato OST (AKA "StarBlazers")
10. Anataboshi - Milky Way (Kirarin Revolution main title)

Anyway, some Neil Young devotees, revolutionary Taiwanese pop, jazz punk fusion, an actress from Battle Royale, analogue synth pop, Little Feat in a guest role, some old school 70s anime tracks and two of the best pop songs I've heard in ages topping and tailing it. Astonishingly for me, not only is there a ten minute bit in the middle where male vocals can be heard, I think I've also got most of the names of the tracks right.

I was thinking if I had anything people may be interested in.
Is anybody interested in a Dutch jazz/improvised comp with Han Bennink playing the drums on nearly every track, accompanying (overpowering?) people like the Ex, Misha Mengelberg and Eric Dolphy? I may get around to it this weekend. See how it goes.

Is anybody interested in a Dutch jazz/improvised comp with Han Bennink playing the drums on nearly every track, accompanying (overpowering?) people like the Ex, Misha Mengelberg and Eric Dolphy? I may get around to it this weekend. See how it goes.

Id be interested in anything, Im planning to put a mix up soon, it'll have stuff that I hope others wont have heard.
Its an interesting point though,
Fall fans seem to have the most diverse 'Other music', I wonder if fans of say 'Sonic youth' vary as much in their 2dary likes?

Notes:
Track 1
Notes that came with the files:
Recording date: June 2, 1964
Hilversum, Holland
Label: Verve/Fontana
Time: 45:39
Although one slightly later session has since been discovered, Last Date remains a near-classic with the great Eric Dolphy (heard on alto, flute, and bass clarinet) backed by a top European rhythm section — pianist Misha Mengelberg, bassist Jacques Schols, and drummer Han Bennink — performing exciting versions of "Epistrophy," "You Don't Know What Love Is," and four of his originals. The innovative music points out what a giant loss Dolphy's premature death was; he passed away just 27 days after this memorable performance.
Personnel:
Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone, flute, bass clarinet)
Misja Mengelberg (piano)
Jacques Schols (bass)
Han Bennink (drums)

Track 2
(from Amazon)"Classic 1968 Recording from the Avant Garde/Free Jazz Saxophonist that is Considered the Very First Actual all European Jazz Recording. It is Primal, Energetic, Powerful and Dissonant....not For the Faint of Heart. Decades Later, it Still Packs the Punch of Its Initial Impact at the End of the 1960's and Serves as a Base Point for Many that Followed in Its Wake."
It's got Sven-Ake Johansson and Han Bennink on drums

Track 3
Cool tune by Willem Breuker Kollektief from 1975.

Track 4
1984 - From a whole album of Herbie Nichols compositions played by Misha Mengelberg and group. It renewed interest in the 50's piano player / composer. Mengelberg thought it was a unfortunate that Coltrane and the free jazz stuff pretty much killed the composer tradition of Monk and Nichols.

Track 5
1999 - I like this album very much. Bergin is from Durban and improvises to both jazz and African themes. Lots of good Dutch players on it.

Track 6
Bennink again with Reijserger and Michael Moore. Sounds a bit African. Don't know any more about the recording.

Track 7
In 2004 The Ex and Bennink went to Ethiopia and played with local talent such as Mahmoud Ahmed. I don't know what this song is. Friends from Amsterdam sent it to me without TOC.

Track 8
1984 - Not improvised. I like this piece of rather serious composed music.
Composer's Notes:
The text sung by the four voices discusses the ‘perfect line’. In the original book, a cross-figure is shown as two perpendicular lines: T

This is an example of a ‘perfect straight line’, according to the metaphysical theories of the author, Dr Schoenmaekers, who greatly influenced Mondrian’s thoughts.

A ‘boogie-woogie’ piano is placed on the left side at the back of the hall. At rehearsal fig.29 – or earlier, depending on the size of the hall – the dancer begins moving extremely from the piano towards the conductor. She walks backwards, ‘drawing out’ the laser beam with her outstretched arm.

She should reach the conductor at rehearsal fig.39 and four bars before 40, lowers her arm so that a gigantic laser-T (created means of small mirrors) suddenly appears above the audience. At that moment, completely unexpectedly, the boogie-woogie piano part begins. The dancer, taking a microphone, starts talking about her memories of Mondrian (see score).

The English version of the spoken text my be chosen, though the ‘exotic’ authentic Dutch of the writer, painter and composer is preferred.

It is very important that the same person ‘makes the T’ and speaks the text. Some spotlights should be used during the performance of the dancer/speaker.

Louis Andriessen

Track 9
1972 - 2 pivotal people in the Dutch improvised music scene Bennink and Mengelberg playing as a duo. "A miraculous trip through the region of Scharrebroek". It was originally released on 6 flexi disks, hence the poor quality.

I won't pretend to be an expert but had these bits and pieces in my collection and I like the idea of sharing something not many FOF'ers would have heard. Lot of this can't be labelled Dutch really but it kind of hangs together. It brings back memories of seeing these people play in the BIM huis and other places in Amsterdam. I hope you enjoy it.

Listening to this for the second time now - it's a doozy. Track 3 reminds me of a kids TV show but I can't remember which - if there's anybody else out there who wants to be wildly entertained by diverse galaxies of space music for 72 minutes, perhaps you too could download this mix and identify the theme tune that this track sounds like.

GraemeLovesPinkLady - October 15, 2008 08:55 PM (GMT)
Yes, definitely had a lot of fun with this mix, Head Gardener. I've not quite paired up the ones I really like with the tracklisting you've prepared, but next time I listen I'll figure it out - in a way, it's a good thing that it is so smooth, that you don't always notice the joins between the tracks.

I've remembered which kids show that I was reminded of - it's Chock-a-block. I know, I know, but for some reason it just seems similar to me.

By the way, what on earth is he saying about 42 minutes in - it's like Baghdad/State Cog/ Analyst from Guest Informant, it sounds different every time. This mid section of the mix is the highlight for me, because there's that track which comes in with a Frank Zappa-ish flourish, but then leaves him way behind, and goes a bit fuzztone. I like this one.

I also liked the one that finishes the mix - it reminds me a bit of Providence from daydream nation cross bred with some of the sounds from right at the start of The Chiselers. It's odd, but it's relaxing in a way.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm looking forward to listening to Petehine's and Twinz2z. if you see the Asian Movie Thread being spammed anytime soon, you know I'll be listening to them.

I've nearly got another mix ready - looks like it will be an amaterish hodge podge of videogame music, harem anime soundtracks, Martin Denny cover versions, Devo imitators, and a tapdance finale from a film about a blind swordsman. Business as usual really.

the_gav - October 15, 2008 11:46 PM (GMT)
hey head gardener, why don't you enter the real mix it up? that'd be awesome!

GraemeLovesPinkLady - October 15, 2008 11:59 PM (GMT)
Seconded! It's varied yet coherent, full of interesting and challenging sounds but still accessible. It's really well mixed as well. Sigh. I now wish I had some of your skillz, as well as Mopiranger's and The_Gav's.

Speaking of which - I hope you upload the podcast for October sometime, The_Gav. And you are right - podcasts are better on the move.

Anyway - finished a new mix. There's only...wait a moment...6 CD-Rs in the bin, so it only took me seven goes to get right this time - that's an improvement. The harem anime track didn't make the cut, but everything else got through, and I'll upload once I work out the title of a couple of the tracks that are evading me just now.
