The Music Dept. MixTape© Project : General Discussion

[Catatonik]

Yes it is an Aphex Twin cover, it's off the Patton EP. Yes, Patton and DEP together too.

\m/

I need to re-download that EP.

[explicitkarma]

Norther - Smash
The Smalls - Natural Woman
Sentenced - White Wedding
Therion - Fight Fire With Fire

Who originally did these songs?

[Catatonik]

Just editted it for you my friend.

[sunshine and gasoline]

I have decided, as the supreme ruler of this universe to allow five covers per person, due to the lack of people contributing.

[Voynich]

I'm out for voting since I don't know any good covers, unless I dig deep into some dutch bands that might have covered stuff. I'd still like to receive the songs though ^^

[sunshine and gasoline]

No prolem. I don't know of any unknown cover either, since I don't have a habbit of downloading songs.

I'll be sure to foward it to you though. :)

[Voynich]

I thought and entered 4 suggestions. Dutch bands, besides Phish of course XD

Not sure i can get any Wende songs...she's pretty new.

[sunshine and gasoline]

Ok, thanks for the effort Maho. :glomp

[Voynich]

No problem. At least I'm sure you haven't heard those before since the bands aren't that wellknown outside Holland ;p

[Hangatýr]

I only have BB King and Jimi Hendrix playing Johnny B. Goode and RHCP with Castles Made of Sand, if you want 'em.. >.>

[Voynich]

Lemme guess, it's one of the songs that I found you? xD

[Hangatýr]

No... Not really, the only cover on that one is 'Like a Rolling Stone'.

[Voynich]

Bugger xD

Ah well...

*kicks morpheus again* You'd expect they have some Wende Snijders in their sharefolders after that hype...

[Hangatýr]

......who?

[Voynich]

*kicks rock off your back* Say hello to the world you musical hermit. >.>

[Hangatýr]

What? I'm just not that into the Dutch musical scene, too many crappy artists. -shrugs-

[Voynich]

*gaspu*

Not every Dutch artist is TMF level you know >.>

[Hangatýr]

I know, some make it onto MTV, but they're still crap. -spits on Idols-

[jkingler]

Holy shit, I have way too many nominations XD

[Voynich]

I have 2 open spots left, so yeah...you can pass 2 on to me. Provided you up them and not me XD

[mow]

I have decided, as the supreme ruler of this universe to allow five covers per person, due to the lack of people contributing.

So modest <3.

[jkingler]

Gah! *tears hair out*

Too many songs..and I keep finding more :scry

But I agree. Five should be the limit...:sad

[Catatonik]

I got my five

And a damn good five they are

[mow]

It would be great if everyone uploads the original songs along side the covers (in a separate folder)

and I add Kate Bush - Sexual Healing (Originally by Marvin Gaye)

[sunshine and gasoline]

This got popular fast.

[Professor Pants]

Where are we uploading the songs to?

[Catatonik]

That could make for some big f-ing files

Besides I don't even have the originals of most of my selections.

[Catatonik]

Yousendit or Megauploads

then PM the link to SnG

[sunshine and gasoline]

Zip/rar the songs.

Use MegaUpload.com (http://megaupload.com/) or YouSendIt.com (http://www.yousendit.com/) to upload the zip/rar and then just PM me the link.

[explicitkarma]

System of a Down - Metro (Berlin)

I LOVE you! That was one of the ones I almost chose.

Yeah, we could make it as a separate CD/tape to accompany the album. I'm up for the idea if S&G is, which I don't blame him if he isn't.

[Catatonik]

I would have a problem (not having any of the originals), but I could go for it if that's the general consensus

[Voynich]

Originals can be found...prolly. If this devil tool will cooperate for once *glares at Morpheus*

[jkingler]

System of a Down - Metro (Berlin)

I LOVE you! That was one of the ones I almost chose.
Metro is a must, as is Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah. If nobody else nominated either of those, I would have had to go back and edit my list :P

[explicitkarma]

Metro is a must, as is Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah. If nobody else nominated either of those, I would have had to go back and edit my list

I submitted Buckley for my fifth submission. I had a list of 10 songs that I had to choose from and both of those songs were on it.

[mow]

@ anyone intersted: The After The Gold Rush cover I submmited is off a special live bootleg for thom yorke (solo) at a school concert. The cd is brilliant, just Thom and a piano. If you want Im uping the entire record now.

What kind of question is this, moe? :mad

[metronomy]

Sounds abit wicked to me.

[Catatonik]

Another mixtape theme sggestion:

Great Sotories Told in Music (think Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue, or the Highwaymen - The Road Goes on Forever)

[Voynich]

I suggest as mixtape theme

The Foreign Exchange - most people here are from very different countries. So suggest music from your homeland...like bands that aren't known on a international level. So that means you can use songs in a different language too... ( so what you can't understand it...good songs will still be good songs even in a starnge language..)

Tinariwen!

Awesome Mali music band headed by a celebrated tribal warrior. As goods as it comes.

And Im still trying to up Thom Yorke Solo.

[Voynich]

I knew I had hit the right spot there moe. I was laready expecting you to jump all over it ;p

[mow]

Im actually clapping like Big foot in my avy atm XD.

OH, Im gonna pimp some Eygptian songs too :clap

I love this one. Especially since i have two homelands. :spaz

[Voynich]

I'd love to find some good Dutch bands and pimp you guys. Some of them are trying to break through in the US, but well it's difficult...so I guess illegal support from my side isn't that bad xD

[Catatonik]

I am SO down with that.

:D

Seriously

That is a theme I can get behind ;)

[Voynich]

*laughs* I'll see if I can find some Dutch metal bands ... We seem to be strongly represented in the Gothich metal department ;p

[Catatonik]

I can access it all
Country, metal, hip-hop, alternative and crap ;)

[Voynich]

*goes off to find pimpable music*

Okay maybe this weekend..I'm tired now D

that would be a nice idea :amuse
i could finally share some good luxembourgish music ^^

[Voynich]

Luxembourgish is like the weirdest language ever. We listened to a radiostation, and eventhough I can speak dutch, german and french...when you guys mix it up it's like "wtf?"

[Mineko-Iwasa]

that's wierd because i can understand some dutch thx to luxembourgish and german :amuse
this reminds me that i could add some portuguese bands too, since i am portuguese...

[mow]

That mix tape would be the perfect oppurtunity to exhibit the genius that is Ravi Shankar.

[Catatonik]

Heehee

GIVE ME MUSIICSSSS.....

>.>

Precious musics'sssssss

Ravi Shankar ROCKS!!!

[mow]

That does deserve a double post :P

[Catatonik]

Whoops.

Heheh

Umm....

What double-post?

*coughs*

From my homeland, hmm?... I'm afraid i'll have to submit Sweet Home Alabama then. :)

j/k (even though I love Skynyrd)


I'll just pretend that i'm from Japan and Germany.

[Catatonik]

I'm sure there's lots of American bands you know that we don't ;)

[sunshine and gasoline]

Just want to announce that this MixTape might get a little delayed.

I will be very busy this weekend aka we just finished a big project in school and I'm free so we're going to get wasted.

[mow]

Actually; that's a very valid excuse.

[Catatonik]

We can overlook it this time ;)

[jkingler]

Wa-wa-wa-wasteddddddddddddddddddddd~!!!!

*was wasted just yesterday*

Have a good time, and let us know when you're back :P

[sunshine and gasoline]

I'm back, please send in your nominations if you haven't.

:knk

Sorry for the delay but I had to recover.

[explicitkarma]

Yay!


We should vote 'till Sunday to keep this going in nice two week segments.

[Voynich]

sdfsdfg!

I have to redownload my suggestions. I'll see if I can get them in in time. xD

[sunshine and gasoline]

Yes, if people would send in their nominations today I could spread it tomorrow and we could vote until Saturday and on Sunday I could up the finished product.

[Voynich]

In that case, count me out. I'll never manage to find the songs again since I have to go offline in like 2 hours. Sorry =/

[Mineko-Iwasa]

i won't manage to send in my nominations in time. i guess i am out too

[mow]

and bollocks, I cant in my data cd with the songs =/

My apt is a mess, I need to organize this place.

[Voynich]

I think this tape will have some more delay xD

[sunshine and gasoline]

Well delays are to be expected when there are this many factors that have to fit in. Try to get the songs as soon as possible then.

[sunshine and gasoline]

UMM.. People will you start sending in your nominations soon?

[Catatonik]

Mines in isn't it?

I did re-send it...

[sunshine and gasoline]

Yes, yours is fine, but there are still some that haven't arrived.

[Catatonik]

Ahah
Who's missing?

[mow]

Sent mine, 2 songs only, I couldnt find the other ones.

[sunshine and gasoline]

Ahah
Who's missing?
Not completely sure, but these are the ones who seem to be missing.

Professor Pants, Judge I┼☼ , Maho, Erkekjetter.

[Jedi Mind Tricks]

I want to get into some of the action. What do I need to do and who do I need to do it to?

When I say,"who do I need to do it to", I really meant it. :jk

Seriously though, I know there are instructions on the first post in this thread, but that was 5 months ago and they could have changed.


Cheers. :P

[Catatonik]

I'll nag Erk to get his uploaded

If not do it myself, as I have all the songs as well.

Basically you go to this thread (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=64881) you nominate five tracks that you think are rare covers that not many people have heard.

You upload the songs and send them to me. After a certain amount of time I will upload all the songs that I recived and send them back to everyone who participated or simply want to hear.

After that A voting thread is created where everyone votes off some songs to make the Mixtape exacly 15 tracks long.

After this MixTape is finished we decide a diffrent theme for the next Mixtape.

Cheers mate.

I'll be sure to add my 5 songs. Some Sam Cooke and Talib Kweli should do the trick.:tem

Make sure to follow the format and also mention whom they have covered. Plus make sure the filenames are not something stupid like "Track 04 - Artist".

Cheers! :beer

[Catatonik]

yeah, that's really annoying.

Make sure they are clearly titled.

[explicitkarma]

I'm still pretty sure I sent mine.

[jkingler]

ItO sent me a copy of his stuff in case this happened, so I will go ahead and UL his picks now. :P

[Voynich]

Scratch mine of the list. With me moving around all the time, I'm currently not even close to the computer that has the songs..and downloading them again is gonna be a bitch.

Ok, Maho. Sorry to hear that. :)

Anyways, I think I will start uploading it once I have renamed all the files with the musician they are covering. Should be up tomorrow night I think and then we can finally get this tape out of the way till Sunday. Hopefully. :amuse

[explicitkarma]

Another suggestion for when the mixtape comes out of it's second hibernation.

I know we're in the middle of a cover mixtape right now, but check this out.
http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=3356

NESified Cover Songs... self-explanitory. And I just so happen to know a thing or two about MIDI. :)

[Catatonik]

Speaking of Mixtapes...

S&G?

What's up?

[sunshine and gasoline]

Sorry, I was away this weekend. I'll try to get it up as soon as possible. Maybe even tonight, but tomorrow is probably more realistic.

[sunshine and gasoline]

Bumpage!

Finally up, now it's up to you people to make sure you listen and vote. You have until next Sunday.

I'll try an YSI upload if people have problems with MU.

[Catatonik]

Good to know it's back on track. ;)

[explicitkarma]

Nirvana - Nirvana

???
Which Nirvana song are you voting for?

[Catatonik]

Meh
the Ledbelly one
I spaced out.

Anyhoo, as before you and I only have like six songs in common.

Hehe

[explicitkarma]

Hehehe, and three of them are mine. :)

[Voynich]

I can't get the tape. It took me 6 hours to get to 30% and then it failed... about 3 taimes =.=

[sunshine and gasoline]

[Voynich]

Both links failed. It keeps dying at 30%.

Could anyone hit me up on aim *winks at Cata* You knows I luves your harddrive. <333

[mow]

How about we start voting for the next MixTape? I realy hope Maho's suggestion Foreign Exchange gets picked

I just love it when you take control :love

Yeah, democracy shmefocracy.

And if someone complains, I can always give the comeback, "Why don't you do it yourself then.".

:woo

[Catatonik]

Cuz we are lazy.

The Foreign exchange eh?

Guess that means I gotta pick five songs from my list of Canadian artists.


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[mow]

Mali music man!

[Voynich]

I'll add some dutch music to the list. Not sure you're gonna like it though...^^;;

Dutch is kinda.. I dunno... It's not a poetic language so ,ost songs aren't really based on rhyme or anything since that just doesn't work in dutch xD

[Catatonik]

Man

Only five songs

That really sucks XD

I mean....REALLY sucks.

[Efraim Longstocking]

So in the foreign mixtape.. Am I only allowed to post swedish music or can I post other different countries to?

[sunshine and gasoline]

So in the foreign mixtape.. Am I only allowed to post swedish music or can I post other different countries to?
Well if Sweden is your homeland the yes. No other countries.

[Catatonik]

Only music from your country.

Which means Canadian for me (though I wish someone here was from Ireland)

[Voynich]

xD Finding 5 good dutch songs is gonna be quite a hassle. I'm afraid I'll have to fall back on our local metal bands.


Btw..I'm kinda dissapointed by the Covers mixtape suggestions. I'm not gonna enter a list since there are only 4 songs I like.

[explicitkarma]

Well if Sweden is your homeland the yes. No other countries.

Alabama is my homeland..... somehow I feel cheated on this one.


Let's just say that I have temporarly taken residence in Japan or Germany.

[mow]

Only from our country? I only know one decent sudanese artist though and I can bet I have no way of finding any of his songs :(

Shouldnt it be more world music kinda thing? The concept of only your country is extremely limiting (unless your canadian; :shakefist @ Cata).

My primary picks were

Ravi Shankar (indian)
Taj Mahal & Toumani Diabate (american + mali)
Tomasz Stanko (Polish)
Warsaw Villiage (Ukiranian)
Tinariwen (Mali)


Limit to one country and I wont be able to join, and what about US inhabitants?

EDIT: lol @ expli

[Voynich]

Okay lets do it this way. You pick one country and reside there for the duration of the mixtape. One ear across the border and I'll chop it off.

[Catatonik]

Good, I'll stay with Canada (even though my family is mostly Irish) and con someone into doing Ireland for me XD

[Voynich]

I'll do Ireland if Dutch metal fails me.

[Catatonik]

You'll probably need help with the Irish music, even I only know a few.

I think between colin and I we could name...four...maybe five Irish metal bands...

Now, use any genre and that helps.

I wonder...has enyone ever heard of Irish Hip-hop?

That would be twisted.

[sunshine and gasoline]

Sounds good.

[mow]

I hate to sound like a wanker, but sticking to one country in a world music concept still sucks. the entire concept is based on the diversity factor. I'd like to hear things from Eskimo music to Irish reggae. One country per person really takes the fun out of it

[Catatonik]

I dunno, the idea is to highlight countries
thus if each person chooses a country
then you get a decent spread (five songs) from each country.

Yeah, but if we do it from whatever freaking country it will just be another pimpage.

I'll think about this.

[Catatonik]

I'd kill to hear Irish Reggae, or Inuit Black Metal...

but I'm doubting we will find them.

XD

[Procyon]

We're doing diversity music stuff? :spaz

That sounds awesome. I want to do something. :pleased

[explicitkarma]

I take back what I said about Alabama earlier... The Southeast US host the roots of blues... thus the roots of rock.

I don't want to be limited to my country, or state. But, if possible, we should at least try to include our own regional music to add to the mix. If not possible, oh well.

[sunshine and gasoline]

The point of this was to exchange music that you grew up around your region with others to promote musical diversity. However, the problem is if you limit yourself to your own "country", one may not find many choices. But perhaps we could do our "region". That way, moe won't be limited to only Sudanese artists. Also, if there's still nothing in your region, perhaps you could trace back your heritige... say if your grandparents were rich in Irish or Native American culture.

Also, I take back what I said about Alabama earlier... The Southeast US host the roots of blues... thus the roots of rock.
This sounds good to me. Everyone else happy?

[explicitkarma]

Bah, you got it before I edited.

[Catatonik]

Indeed, that works for me.

[Efraim Longstocking]

I'm cool with that idea.. Need to find some good swedish stuff. I'm thinking about taking some really old Bellman song and some music from my hood..

[Voynich]

You'll probably need help with the Irish music, even I only know a few.

I think between colin and I we could name...four...maybe five Irish metal bands...

Now, use any genre and that helps.

I wonder...has enyone ever heard of Irish Hip-hop?

That would be twisted.

*grins*

I'll take every genre if you don't mind. I personally have a weakness for female Irish singers.

Edit: 7 Irish metalbands down, 40 more to go. *is on dll rampage*

[Catatonik]

Oh dear, what seven?

Please let Cruachan, Primordial and Waylander be in there.

And Mael Mordha

[Voynich]

I'm still busy. Although Scavenger, Fuktifino, Devilmakesthree and Mourning Beloveth sound pretty good.

But maybe I'll just do my own country. We got some pretty good metal here: Sk'rl, Isle of Man, Orphanage, Gorefest, Detonation, Textures...

[Catatonik]

Isle of Man are pretty fucking cool, yes.

[Voynich]

I so can't decide. ~.~ Too much choiceeeeeeeeeeee!

[sunshine and gasoline]

Well pick all the ones you like and then shuffle them and take the firt 15 that got shuffled. You're lucky that I won't be able to finalize the tape tonight, due to me havin tons of homework.

[explicitkarma]

It died again. :(

[sunshine and gasoline]

I was away again and I've been busy with school. I'll get to it as soon as I can. :)
