http://youtube.com/watch?v=VdWHaKF1khs
(was that the 90's? who cares, in a way they were my last hope for rock music)

Hum
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rfbn3ieVUYU
(fuck yeah, I had a poetry assignment in highschool and I turned in hum lyrics and I got a D on the assignment. later that day I hate carrot cake and fruit punch for lunch and took a nap on the school lawn with my backpack under my head)

more Hum
http://youtube.com/watch?v=egugSdWvHzc&feature=related
(another random thought, I just to fall asleep to this album after school every day. the first track on the album was the first time I can remember becoming aware of 6/8 timing in music. good memories)

Nirvana (come on now.. as if I was gonna leave them out)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=5KLWtUXp7qc

WOW...

Johnisfaster · Post by **Johnisfaster** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 7:26 pm

heyyyyyyy this was my thread-tape not yours!

lovin all the music though. I spent quite a long time living my childhood last night for my list of songs up there. really took me back. I was very selective on what I shared cause I wanted it to be like a "mixtape"

thread-tape. can I coin that as my own? how do you coin a net term? (wiki?)

I think you'd have to have the term 'mix' in there, that's pretty essential, mixtape, mix CD, what about mixtube?

two criticisms...
1 - song flow, putting together a mix tape was always picking the songs them picking the right order and even throwing out songs that didn't fit the vibe. it's not just a collection of good songs.

2 - sound quality. if the song is good, that's cool but if you don't have (or can't find) a good sounding song, don't put it in the mix.

really cool idea though, an original idea like this is rare, kudos. listening through the first post now.

holy fuck, Folk Implosion, forgot about that tune, NICE!!

harvey danger - cool tune

NIN - "what happened to Trent"?? you're joking, right? he's still very much in the scene.

Hum - another super cool tune

very cool portisehead video, cool to see them LIVE!!
