I've been sitting on this mix since I finished it in July -- couldn't get it down to one CD's length, so here it is with "bonus tracks."

omg popcanon.
How do you know PopCanon, k-sky?
I appear to have started on a running mix for Cryptic Ned. Guess I'll try to finish that up tonight.
I learned it from you, nosflow!
[/80's anti-drug PSA]
I appear to have started on a running mix for Cryptic Ned. Guess I'll try to finish that up tonight.
Half disco, half Italo-disco, plus "Jam On It"?
6: along those lines, basically, yes.
I no longer have the creativity for anything beyond "this is what I've been listening to" mixes and "workout! energy! bass! woo!" mixes. I figure albums are the new mix CDs, anyway.
Speaking of music, I'm going to The Hold Steady concert tonight, and even though my friend got sick and cancelled on me so I'll be going along, I'm STILL VERY EXCITED because it's OKAY to go out and do things alone! Plus, as bands go, THS is pretty good about encouraging a sense of warm togetherness at their shows. Or maybe it's just the drugs/alcohol. So woo!
... oh, but yeah: Steel Train's new album, "Steel Train," is pretty awesome.
I'm going to The Hold Steady concert tonight
Totes jealous over here. I recently missed them in Richmond.
Having just started a last.fm account (and spent too much time debugging amarok-last.fm integration), here's the lazy response, based on one day's data.
Drat. My music collection is all on a portable drive at home, and my home Internet is out so I'll have to wait to post something until I have at with me back at work... and time to do it in. So, I will probably not post something.
k-sky's mix looks really good though. So does the link in the OP, though rapidshare won't allow me to download the file for some reason. It somewhat pre-empts the idea that sprang to mind for an old reggae mix. Have to do it another time.
The mixes look great.
I'm not sure if this is the right thread, but I found this news depressing:
Moe Tucker, Velvet Underground Drummer, Stuns Fans With Tea Party Support
||
Sitting next to an obvious first date in progress. Direct quote from the dude: "I don't know many van Gogh paintings. The only other one I know is The Scream."
|>
Slice off the dude's ear. That will show him.
It's a self portrait done after the ear incident.
15: Did his date respond to this? A stifled giggle at least?
lw, great stuff. I am ashamed to admit that I didn't know "The First Cut Is The Deepest" existed prior to Sheryl Crow.
True Fact: The red in the sky in the painting "The Scream" was inspired by the reddish sky seen throughout the northern hemisphere due to the eruption of Krakatoa, which in turn was west of Java, not east as in the so named film.
OK, never mind. I actually did know the Cat Stevens song. I'm getting it mixed up with "If It Makes You Happy." Kill me now.
19: I wasn't looking at her, so difficult to tell. But I know that I could not stifle a giggle! Later in the date she actually struck up a conversation with me while he was sitting there.
That looks like a great mix. Say, for future reference, what is the best method of producing and disseminating these mixes? Does it run afoul of the copyright monster if you do it in the manner to which we've become accustomed? I do not know anything about computers produced more recently than 1988.
The best way to produce these is to first fix your metadata so we don't all have to waste ten minutes on it when we download your mix. </grumpy>
(But really, I've listened to a portion of lw's and k-sky's and I'm liking them both.)
I make playlists in iTunes, then I copy the tracks to a directory, convert any that aren't mp3s into mp3s, update the album name with mp3id3x, then drag them back into iTunes and edit the rest of the metadata (which includes deleting the existing artwork and adding the new cover) then I drag them back out to a folder, zip them up with a .jpg of the cover, and upload the archive to sendspace. Not as much work as it seems like, honest.
Tweety and I employ the exact same process using the same software.
Ideally I would have read 26 before I started uploading my mix, but I'm not canceling it now.
Essear, what do you want done to the metadata? I'm a minimalist -- I don't create a new album tag because I like knowing where the songs came from. Though I have been meaning to include a "mix from k-sky" comment tag. Also, I realize that I gave y'all one AAC track. Sorry.
I find the playlist in iTunesFS, compress the folder, then put the .zip file in my Public Dropbox folder and give you the link. Free and easy.
Marvin Gaye - Trouble Man
Such a great song. Such a great movie. "Chalky? Chalky's dead. Now I'm coming for your honky ass."
29: I guess it's a matter of taste. My preference is for them to appear as an album in my iTunes library, with album artist set to "Various" or something like that. Otherwise, if I just drop your files into my iTunes library, then I end up with a lot of tracks that I have multiple copies of appearing in the same place -- e.g. your copy of "Tightrope" would appear along with the one I already had with the rest of The ArchAndroid.
Anyway, I can see the point of liking knowing where the songs are from. I just move that information to the comments field when I edit the metadata.
The problem that isn't a matter of taste is when the basic fields like artist or song title are mislabeled, as they were in some of lw's files.
OK, so here's my contribution:
Le responsable - Jacques Dutronc
Spitfire - The Spinanes
Nobody Could Change Your Mind - The Generationals
Silver Tiles - Matt & Kim
Hundredaire - Hey Willpower
Worms Vs. Birds - Modest Mouse
Rue de la Paix - Pants Yell!
Picture Of A Horse - Goldcard
Balancing Act - Volcano Suns
Frontwards - Los Campesinos!
Right Side of a Good Thing - The Fleshtones
Love Is a Wave - Crystal Stilts
Intoxicated Man - Mick Harvey
River Serpentine - The Budos Band
Dr. Wu - Minutemen
Rain On - Woods
You Won't B Here - Perfume Genius
The Fade - Megafaun
Rose Garden - Shad
This Heart Is a Stone - Acid House Kings
Loveshines II - Sunset
Strange - Galaxie 500
Candy - Frankie Rose and The Outs
Rollerball - Andre Previn
St. Elmo's Fire - Portastatic
Surf Solar (7" Edit) - Fuck Buttons
[link updated -'r]
Oh man. Because I'm not you, Blandings, I can't play Mr. Wu. Warning: your email is showing!
From the link in 16:
Vincent van Gogh didn't paint this famous work (called "The Scream"), but rather a Norwegian painter named Edvard Munch.
In those days, Norwegians were cheaper than canvasses.
Includes at least one song that I've definitely put on a mix before. Oh well! BPM progression arranged for optimal running performance.
1. Chromeo -- You're So Gangsta
2. David Joseph -- You Can't Hide Your Love From Me (Larry Levan 12" Remix)
3. Arthur Russell -- Is It All Over My Face
4. Shannon -- Give Me Tonight
5. Margueritas -- Margherita (Hot Edit)
6. Capricorn -- I Need Love (Instrumental Version)
7. Cameo -- Shake Your Pants (Original 12" Club Mix)
8. Boney M -- Rasputin
9. Chromeo -- Needy Girl
10. Utah Saints -- What Can You Do For Me? (1926 Melodic Mix)
11. Basement Jaxx -- Feelings Gone
12. Peter Richard -- Walking In The Neon (Club Version)
13. Technotronic -- Pump Up The Jam (Milk & Sugar Remix)
14. Planet Patrol -- Play At Your Own Risk
15. Shalamar -- Don't Try To Change Me
Boney M -- Rasputin
It does not cure hemophilia, but even if you poison it and shoot it, it doesn't go away.
39: if you've never heard that song, it's far more ridiculous than you can imagine.
But if you have heard that song, it's far less ridiculous than you can imagine. Crazy shit!
I've been noticing new behavior from Amazon.com. Sometimes if I click "add to wish list", it just does it. Other times, it says "Please click to confirm you want to add [item] to your wish list." I'm reading this as "uh, really, dude? you want that?"
39: if you've never heard that song, you should watch the video while listening to it for the first time.
40: Aside from Marvin Gaye and Cat Stevens, I don't think I recognize anybody listed here.
43: well, okay, the video is awesome, but wevs. You haven't heard it until you've heard it seamlessly integrated into Cryptic Ned's workout.
39: if you've never heard that song, you should watch the video while listening to it for the first time.
I have heard the song before, but that video is awesome.
Looks like Rapidshare's free traffic for the mix in the OP is exhausted, sorry. I'll set up an alternative Thursday night, probably won't alter the zip file and so the metadata will stay as-is.
48: You punks get off my grow table.
Does anybody know of a good, intuitive, and free mp3 editor (nothing fancy, just cutting the track and fading in and out)?
I want to make a mix of all this Miami freestyle, electro, and booty bass I've accumulated, but all the track versions I have are like the 6 to 7 minute club edits. You can only listen to Debbie Deb for so long before needing to move on Maggotron.
I still have a dubbing cassette player, if that helps.
If you're on windows I think mp3 direct cut will do it without transcoding. Not sure on OS X.
54. Thanks, but I'm on Mac. It looks like I can do it within iTunes by adjusting start and stop time. Don't know if those settings get preserved when the files get copied into someone's mp3 player, though.

A high-school teacher on my Facebook page has linked to some article about a new study saying light drinking during pregnancy is okay, and says that she's going to use it as an example with her class to teach them to think critically and not believe everything they read, because it's so clearly wrong. I'm trying to decide whether or not to pick a fight.
|>
Don't believe everything you read, kids, because whatever opinion you've already formed without reading is probably best!
57: It would be an excellent way to show the kids not to believe everything they read on Facebook.
I had a junior high teacher who tried to tell me that "Mongol" and "Muslim" were synonyms. In her defense, that's what the publisher's answer key said.
AWB - Crap, I forgot to check for that. Is that the only track with that issue? I'll fix and repost dr. wu and any others in the am.
Making this mix is forcing me to revisit the Whoot vs. Whoomp controversy of the early 90s. Still can't decide which side I'm on, but neither is going into the mix.
I prefer Whoomp, because you always know where it is.
The fight has been picked. Well, I tried not to be aggressive about it, just summarized what the study actually found and said that it seems reasonable. Someone promptly showed up to say I sound like an alcoholic.
Well, essear, I didn't want to bring it up first, but now that you mention it....you are always having to stay in your office until you sober up.
(I'll have you know I successfully talked a pregnant woman into having a small glass of wine at a wedding this weekend.)
68: Is there a bottle of Cap. Morgan in your photo?
OK, here is my contribution: a two album mix of Happy Songs that I made a little while ago. I did minimal editing and don't really understand file types, but it should show up as two compilation albums (with the essear style notes thing for the source albums).
Anyway, enjoy.

71: I think you have my taste. I hadn't noticed it was missing.
I'll get it back to you soon. Next week at the latest.
71, 72: I can comfortably say that my taste is not as good as either of yours, but at the same time I'm thrilled by this mix.
So I checked, and while nothing else is protected there are three other aac files in my mix. Sorry, all. I'll fix and repost tomorrow.
Thanks to the rest of you for the excellent (and more competently-produced) mixes.
to think critically and not believe everything they read
Speaking of which, has anyone else read those posts by that Rutgers kid who killed himself and though that it sounds like it might be more complicated than "kid killed himself after he got taped by his roommate"?
Gawker has the posts here.

Also in the vein of reporters telling the story they want to tell:
In August we get a broadcast over the radio that a county cop just followed a couple bank robbery suspects (two male blacks) to one of our dive motels. Me and a bunch of other city cops in the area swarm this motel and help evacuate the bystanders, round up suspects, etc. One of the guys at the motel is a frequent flyer I know by sight who'll we'll call Joe. Pretty quickly it's clear Joe is not a suspect. However, Joe's a low level crack slinger with a habit of missing his court dates and to no one's surprise Joe has a felony warrant.
So I put Joe in my car and a bunch of press guys start taping Joe. I explain that Joe is NOT a suspect several times and is going to jail for something totally unrelated to the bank robbery. I joke to Joe that he's going to end up on the news as a bank robber.
Sure enough, what hits one of the most popular local outlets? This.
http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=11876884
That picture is Joe and my arm, probably while I was laughing that he was going to get his moment of fame as a bank robber whether he liked it or not.
FUCK THE COPYRIGHT NAZIS.
SO. brought home a beautiful --- beautiful -- no, wait, I don't think you fully got that, BEAUTIFUL -- and when I say beautiful, what I mean is an intelligent, very politically-aware woman who has AMAZING FUCKING TITS -- oh shit, that's not very politically correct --- but, shit, those tits, I mean ... I mean ... you've probably dreamed of them ... but ... realistically, I mean, statically... in your life, you've never fucking seen them. I mean. Imagine the best tits. You've ever. EVER. EVER. No, no. *EVER*. Fucking seen. Yeah, better than that.
ok. time to go to bed!
God, I love The Hold Steady!!
WOOO! UNFOGGED FOREVER!!!!
Ooops. She's a bit embarassed about this. But she doesn't understand the ... the .. the honor involved, of being an Unfoggged ... oh shit. I'm just a total patriarchal asshole, aren't I? I am. Yeah. Ok. I am. Shit. I am. Thank god I'm hot.

Can someone edit 32 to remove the download link and point to this comment? Thanks.
63: 57: It would be an excellent way to show the kids not to believe everything they read on Facebook.
So Brett *is* still in a relationship with Amber?
Amber would never give Brett the time of day. He's been delusional the whole time.
I've got one to put up, but won't be able to get it finished and posted until tonight or maybe tomorrow.
I really should have used mp3trimmer on my mix, especially since, now that I look again, it's 40 seconds too long for a CD. OH WELL NEXT TIME.
In lieu of a mix of my own, I'll point the Unfoggedtariat to this mix, the top 50 of 1982 countdown by DJ Chris & DJ Steve. It's exactly the kind of mix I might make, if I weren't such an indolent fuck.
Oh. My. God.
I'm like a drumstick made of shame.
it's 40 seconds too long for a CD
For a what?
96: I have a theory that somebody or other actually burns these to CD and prints out the cover art.
I have a theory that somebody or other actually burns these to CD and prints out the cover art.
Those of us without .mp3 players appreciate your consideration. (Although I don't print the cover art.)
95: I think that's a new standard for drunk commenting. Is she still speaking to you?
Wow, I hadn't noticed the liveblogging. That's... deeply unfortunate, and I certainly hope we see more of it.
Holy cow, I missed that too. Titties! Impaired judgment! Hooray!
I still can't find it. WTF are you talking about?
102: 79, 80 -- pause for the uh-oh -- 83.
Wow. That's amazing. I needed 103 too to figure out what you all were gawking over.
I'm awed by x.trapnel's ability to type and spell under what must have been very challenging circumstances. Check out the diaeresis in 84.
Just barely caught the noon bus to Portland, for the tux-fitting; the groom had left me like 5 voicemails/texts while I was passed out.
Hey, you know what's awkward? As a 30-yr-old, having your father drive you and the lovely 23-yr-old woman you met at the THS concert into Boston for you to catch your respective buses/trains ... in a Miata. Yes, a very two-person Miata.
Jesus. My father gets so many points for how classy he was about it all.
Oh, and re: 107 - eh, it's not as impressive as it seems; I have my keyboard set up so right-alt-p is ö.
And trust me, you can NOT fit a grown woman in the trunk of a Miata.
Preteens, on the other hand, fit fine.
My father gets so many points for how classy he was about it all.
She sat on his lap?
||
I just pissed off a student nearly to the point of tears because she is so determined that she can't get any of the material, and after we did a few problems it became clear that she just hasn't reviewed any of her notes from class, but would be perfectly capable if she were clear on the basic definitions. So I told her that. I guess we're not besties anymore.
|>
113: I just told the new guy to read the output log before he e-mails me about a problem. The kids today....
114: I keep having to remind the old guy how to attach a file to an email. Geezers these days...
99: what was a bit unexpected was that she actually seemed desirous of seeing me again. (And asked for my number while sitting on my lap in the Miata.)
You never can tell, I suppose.
This bout of x. trapnel's is the real, best meaning of the post title.
OT: Now he's giving me the mean of a 0/1 variable. He isn't even looking before he does shit.
Because Moby has nothing better to do than check his stuff.
A politically aware woman with nice tits, under thirty years old...
OMG, did x.trapnel go home with Jessica Valenti!
119: He's probably not even aware of your commenting quota here.
Jessica Valenti is not under 30 years old.
Oh well, so much for that theory.
123: You're never going to compete with Althouse with that kind of attitude.
Check out the diaeresis in 84.
The umlaut is identical in appearance to the diaeresis, but it is not in fact a diaeresis.
125: I just assumed LB was trolling her own blog Nosflow.
Anyway, I'm reminded to finish this mix, but I need this article for the liner notes. Any of you academics have it lying around?
Huh. I had thought that 'umlaut' denoted the change in pronunciation of a vowel, while 'diaeresis' denoted the punctuation mark consisting two dots indicating either that the vowel it was over was an umlaut, or that the vowel should be pronounced separately from the adjoining vowel. If that's wrong, is there a name for the punctuation mark?
129 does not count as pwnage, because unlike Stormcrow I took care to provide a link.
Am enjoying the shit out of k-sky's mix. Will try to post one or two later.
In contrast, if you have livejournal dedicated to your peanut-butter-cup consumption, that's known as a diareese's.
For future reference, all uncommon words, concepts and names in my comments carry an implicit link to the relevant Wikipedia article.
Actually, I thought I learned that here, but not finding it. Possible hoohole lossage or maybe it came up during collateral Unfogged-related Internet search activities.
133: Entry from later that day:
"When you're sliding into home and your pants are full of foam, diareeses!"
Going wayyyyyy back to 38-40 and Boney M's unbelievably ridiculous " Rasputin," my old Hungarian housemate claimed that they would play that song as a political protest in Budapest in the 1980s, and cheer at the last lines (which are something like "Oh, those Russians"). Then the song was banned so playing it became even more of an act of political protest.
I've never seen this independently verified, but if true it's pretty awesome.
I am so excited to download these!

Those look pretty great, Merganser. Not too diss the rest, which I'll also download, but a couple of tracks there are crackers...
Thanks, ttaM! Hope you enjoy them.
The mix in the OP (bandwidth used up for the original location, sorry!) is now here:
if there's momentum, edit the OP link so it's not dead?
Anyway, tunes here:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/h0wd0f
BTW, the tracks with screwy data are vinyl->cassete(1987) -> CD (2002)-> you (today).
Trojan records rereleased the same tracks or alternate similar versions many times with fairly haphazard labels on the vinyl. I think that barring the popular hits, lots of these old tracks exist because of basement collections or their modern equivalent, much like old blues.
Since I was grumpy about the metadata earlier, I should probably say now that after listening to all the tracks, I found your mix thoroughly enjoyable, lw. Thanks.
I only just now saw 79-83. I think that's the first hilariously endearing drunken liveblogging I've ever seen.
And bravo to your dad.
My new fave music guru has a great mix (scroll down a wee bit and look for the photo of the sax-playing conjoined twins). I'm kind of in love with the Continental Coets and Jandek tracks, but it's all good.
Glad you liked it. Obvs, I like old reggae-- it's happy but not insipid, thought I'd share.
Very exciting! Just tuned in and saw the mixes from Merganser, ttaM, Josh... more downloading! Blandings, Sifu already teed up, and I had great happy reggae breakfast this morning.
I guess this is a workout mix--or a nostalgia mix for those who get sentimental thinking about birthday parties at roller skating rinks or tailgating at the Orange Bowl for a University of Miami football game against Notre Dame in 1989.

144, 117: Aww, thanks! In Portland now, making final edits to best-man toast. The lady from the night in question did, in fact, text me yesterday afternoon to check that I managed to catch the bus and arrive according to plan. Very sweet.

153: Especially then. They call it "charting at #2".
Watch out for charting with a bullet.

If you are writing a note in your syllabus about the importance of internet decorum, putting selected sentences in all caps for emphasis really undermines your case.

The frequent use of double exclamation points in the syllabus further suggests to the students that you have real double standard when it comes to formal writing.

No more masturbating to Solomon Burke. [sad face]
I got to see Solomon Burke back in 2002. Remarkable guy. This interview captures his larger-than-life personality and humor pretty well, I think. It has some nice local history for anyone who knows West Philadelphia, too.
90 grandchildren at the time of his death.
You Tube has a nice mix of his songs. Apparently one was used on The Wire. Huh.
Here he is with Patty Griffin doing her song "Up to the Mountain."
152: I did end up spending tonight in Boston, instead of continuing on to NYC as originally planned, but I didn't try to contact her to set anything up. I know, I know, very lame. Part of it is that I have a really hard time remembering anything about our conversation that night.
I suppose I could buy her a Chinatown bus ticket and invite her to take a trip down to NYC for a live-blogged mini meetup, but I think that would be a bad idea.
The best idea possible would be to have an impressive beer gut and go naked at a presidential campaign rally, but that's taken.
a Chinatown bus ticket
Always sure to impress!
Speaking of which, anyone in NYC want to meet up Tuesday night?
(re: 166)--if so, I'd suggest Pacific Standard as a potential meetup spot. In addition to being owned by my former upstairs neighbors, it's located 3 blocks from the Atlantic/Pacific stations, and has comfy sofas, a great beer list, and $3 pints on Tuesdays.
167: Not to mention the history at least one previous meetup.
I still can't get over the notion of a NorCal-themed bar.
I'd like to be the first to suggest Fresh Salt.
Josh, am loving your Beats mix. I used it to put on a tuxedo just last night.
I'm in NYC Friday-Sunday (leaving Sunday evening). My hotel is in midtown, because that's how I roll it's close to the conference.
Well, I'm back to Germany by Friday, but I'll be at Pac Standard on Tuesday (tomorrow!) night, with or without the rest of you lot. I can always watch the Rays game there, or play Settlers of Catan, or catch up with the regulars. I am a rock! I am an island!
I might be able to go, it's only a twenty minute walk.
