The Soapbox, Mix-tape Exchange

Who'll decide on what the best mixtape is?

Chuze

Everybody is a winner.

I'm hard at work on the ton-mans mix now. Whatever I pick he'll say 'got that, heard that' It'll be a wonderful hour though.

When does your mixtape need to be finished? I need to get all the outtakes from 'Les Veterans'

Two weeks from now, non?

so I got paired with phieniac eh? I don't know who that is, but hopefully he left a couple of clues about his musical preferences here. Hope he connects enough to follow this thread.

5FuseK?

awesome! no idea what he likes but I'm sure a Stereophonics best of will go down a treat (jokes)

You're in from a treat, Jorn. The best from Magnolia, ex-magnolia & Sylvain the Librarian, including live tracks.

He likes drugs.

when do we need to get this done by? krburg isn't going to be happy

"Pay up, ya cunt"

Heh, glad i got the Barnster, as i (hope, i) think (i know) we like the same kinda shit, so i expect there'll be at least one or two tunes we can get each other into through this

I don't expect to even have mine turtleed.

PROVE ME WRONG FIVEFUSEK

pleased to have got mathieihehihihi. might make him a poncerock 2003 comp

great shirt carl

edit shirt, not shit lol

edit 2 karl, not carl lol

Right, Just spent a couple of hours messing about & chopping tracks.
My mix for the Ton-man is complete. Link Anyone else who fancies it obviously can give it a go too (all tagged & shit). Clocks in at exactly an hour, mostly garage sounding rock with a few oddities thrown in.

Glenn Helder's Special Nuggets


01: Dennis Coffey - Theme From Black Belt Jones
A funky Blaxsploitation instrumental
02: Eels - Tremendous Dynamite
I noticed you had not rated any Eels records on RYM. No idea if you've never really heard much by them or not but just incase, that is a good start
03: The Flies - I'm Not Your Stepping Stone
The best version I've ever heard of this song.
04: Ffa Coffi Pawb - Vallium
Gruff's band before SFA. This track could be by J&MC
05. Television Personalities - Silly Girl
Another I couldn't see any ratings for. My favourite song from one of my fav LP's
06: The Vaselines - The Day I Was A Horse
Same as above
07: The Tamborines - Sally O'Gunnen (demo)
Jonestown type band I've been going to see for many years. Had an album out last year but the original demo of this is still the best thing they've done
08: Smudge - Divan
Evan Dando has covered half a dozen of their songs on Lemonheads LP's. Top band
09: Roy Redmond - Ain't That Terrible
Top soul tune I found on an 'After Hours' compilation. Worth seeking out
10: Arif Sag - Osman Pehlivan
Some bad-ass Turkish Psychedelica
11: Rory Gallagher - Don't Know Where I'm Going
My fav song by my Mum's favourite artist. Bit of a Faces vibe to it.
12: The Remains - Don't Look Back
Fucking great Garage-band, every track on their debut is a winner
13: Neil Young - Homegrown
Debated about including this. I saw you hadn't rated American Stars 'N Bars on RYM. I think that's possibly the most overlooked record that Neil's put out.
14: The King Khan & BBQ Show - Waddlin' Around
Modern garage-rock, real good fun
15: Kilroy - Heart Of Stone
My bird's best friends brothers band. Like a garage version of the Small Faces
16: The Golliwogs - Fight Fire
17: Dino, Desi & Billy - The Rebel Kind
18: The Crystal Chandelier - Suicidal Flowers
19: The Coasters - Down In Mexico
Super sexy funky soul which I took from the Death Proof soundtrack.
20: The Cobra's - Goodbye
21: The Brogues - I Ain't No Miracle Worker
22: Baker Knight & The Nightmares - Hallucinations
16-18 + 20-22 are garage/pysch tunes I've stumbled across from various compilations. Though I avoided taking anything from the Nuggets comps as everybody must have those by now.

Wanted to put Elias Dread as the last track but realised I could fit 17 more tracks on without it.

"Glenn Helder's Special Nuggets"

Will definitely check this one out, seems interesting.

But Karl, when are the mixtapes supposed to be done?!
