[komrade_smith]

hmmm, how about The Doors - The End ?
the fact that it was the track that started and finished Apocalypse Now should speak for itself

[Catatonik]

Hypocrisy - All Turns Black
Gorillaz - Fire COming Out of a Monkeys Head
R.E.M - It's the End of the World as We Know It (I actually dislike REM but.....)
Johnny Cash - Man in Black
Limbonic Art - Last Rite for the Silent Darkstar
Nevermore - The River Dragon Has Come

Just a couple. ;)

[Efraim Longstocking]

Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) the Reaper

Just a really thrilling song. Classic horror excperience...

[martryn]

The first song that came to my mind was Ride the Wings of Pestilence by First to Last for obvious reasons. I don't know if that's what you're looking for or not.

Then there's also Burn in Hell by Error. I don't like the song, but it might fit the theme.

And then there's also Black City by Division of Laura Lee. I think that would fit for sure, but for not I'm only uploading the First to Last song.

[mow]

Okay, now if everyone can upload said songs they nominateed (use megaupload.com as it allows for unlimited d/ls). And send them to me. I'll zip them up and send them to everyone to then nominatee songs to remove from the lists. Songs with most amount of disapproval get the boot

oh and can some one do me a favour and d/l :

GodSpeed You!Black Emporer - The Dead Blue Flags (First Movement) The Deadflag Blues (Intro) (0:00 - 6:37)

I have the cd, but the original song is 18 minutes, and I only want the first movment( GSY!BE divides their songs into movements)

[Voynich]

I'll try to find it moe. Let's hope soulseek has it >.>

I can only find the damned 18 min version -_-;; So if someone has a music editing program? XD

[Catatonik]

Will hop on that in a couple moe, right now is clean up time ;)

[spinstate]

oh and can some one do me a favour and d/l :

GodSpeed You!Black Emporer - The Dead Blue Flags (First Movement) The Deadflag Blues (Intro) (0:00 - 6:37)


Hmm...Isn't that supposed to be "The Dead Flag Blues"?^^

[mow]

Hmm...Isn't that supposed to be "The Dead Flag Blues"?^^

ayah! you are right ^.^

Maho, sorry about that, I typed the name wrong >_<

To all those interested in the song, this is how its broken down

1) The Deadflag Blues (16:27) -
(First Movement) The Deadflag Blues (Intro) (0:00 - 6:37)
(Second Movement) Slow Moving Trains (6:37 - 10:10)
(Third Movement) The Cowboy (10:10 - 14:27)
(Fourth Movement) Outro - (14:27 - 16:27)

[Voynich]

Doesn't matter, cause i searched on "godspeed" ...still only 18 min songs.

( and weird enough "godspeed" gave me silver mt. zion albums @.@)

[mow]

That's cause Silver moutn Zion is a side-roject by the members of GSY!BE :amuse.

anyhow, the song you sent me is freaking brilliant :amazed!

[Voynich]

One word moe : DUH. Apo's version pwns the original Metallica.

[komrade_smith]

'The End' should be waiting for you in your PM box Moe :thumbs

[mow]

Awesome , got it Lthumbs

Okay here is how it will be done. I will stop accepting songs on Sunday. ill up all the songs sent to me and Ill pm it to everyone who contributed (or simply wants to hear) the songs. Then you must vote some songs off, and make what you believe is a good tracklisting for the songs.

Oka?

[Voynich]

I'll be sure to clean out my folders before then..

* my comp gave me a "your scratch disks are full" message. That doesn't sound too good >_>*

[mow]

XD @ Maho's pc

Maho and Komarde (since you are the only ppl online atm), im uping the m83 songs for you, I really want to hear what you think of them.

[Voynich]

Sureo moe. ^^ My ears are all yours XD


And don't laugh at my comp please...it's getting all diva like ..threatening to call the RIAA if I keep dll at this speed. In return I threatened to throw it out the window. Let's see how long it will shut up now ;p

[komrade_smith]

hmmmm........
well Moe, I really liked *, should defo be on the mix tape. I'm not so sure about Car chase terror though. Althought it ties in fairly well with the theme, wasn't really my thing.

edit: I was thinking about suggesting Ghost Town by the Specials, just to mix things up a bit. Give me the word and I'll send you it

[mow]

Yeah, I hade the same thoughs (as did Maho) it's haunting, and would fit better ina nightmare theme :amuse

And send it =]

[komrade_smith]

uploading it as we speak :)

[Voynich]

Ghost Town should so be in, it's one of my fav oldies. It might be a nice change, since most suggestions are leaning to the metal side.

[mow]

I suggest

Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

...

[komrade_smith]

yeah, although it's quite haunting, there's a little bit of humour to Ghost Town as well, which has been a bit lacking in the other suggestions

You get my PM Moe?


............whats apocalyptical about Wham? XD

[Catatonik]

The fact they actually got a record deal, first sign of the Apocalypse ;)

[martryn]

Maybe Pink Floyd's the Dogs of War. Isn't that the name of the song? We could do a 4 Horseman thing or something. What were they? War, pestilence, disease... death or something? I don't know if I have that album on my computer, but it is in my car. Which one was it on? Division Bell or Momentary Lapse of Reason? If someone could upload that one for me...

[Erkekjetter]

Progenies of the Great Apocalypse ~ Dimmu Borgir

Black Hearts Now Reign ~ Unearth

Fight Fire With Fire ~ Therion



All I can think of right now.

[louuster]

staying in metal, slayer - hell awaits

[Djinn]

bloodhound gang- i hope you die

im not sure if i quite get this. correct me if anything

I suggest

Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

...
its called jitterbug! and its the gayest song ever,... but it can cheer me up.

[jkingler]

Ozzy Osbourne - War Pigs

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast

Funkadelic - Maggot brain

[sunshine and gasoline]

These come to mind.

The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra - American Motor Over Smoldered Field
Explosions In The Sky - Have You Passed Through This Night
Radiohead - Street Spirit [Fade Out]

[explicitkarma]

Tub Ring - In The Future
Tub Ring - Vehicle
Vivaldi - Four Seasons by Vanessa Mae - Winter (Allegro non Molto)
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata

If I think of more, i'll post them later.

Moe, do you or anyone else here have any problems with ogg vorbis? A lot of my stuff is ripped in that instead of mp3.

"edit: Those interested in hearing these PM me"

[Voynich]

*sticks up hand* Ogg vorbis is a problem for me. I can't get it to play in my comp in a normal way. It's prolly my comp's fault and not the program's.

[sunshine and gasoline]

*sticks up hand* Ogg vorbis is a problem for me. I can't get it to play in my comp in a normal way. It's prolly my comp's fault and not the program's.

You can play them, using VLC.

VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)

[mow]

ogg is a problem for me, I cant install programs in this pc, so mp3 is the only way to go =[

and pm me your songs :amuse.

[Nybarius]

Mampi Swift -- Zion
Leonard Cohen - The Future (!!!)
Tom Waits -- Earth Died Screaming

:)

[mow]

Ohhhh!

Awesome choice with Tom Waits :thumbs

[Nybarius]

Moe: Thanks ;) Cool thread. You're keeping the music dept. humming, it seems.

Another one might be Johnny Cash: When the Man Comes Around.

Edit: Uploading.

[mow]

You can NEVER go wrong with Tom Waits ;)

and lads, send me the songs. Once I have them all by Sunday, Ill send them to you all

[I'm with Stupid]

hmmmm, the only song i can think of that hasn't been added would be Nine Inch Nails - The Day the World Went Away like you didn't see that coming XD

[explicitkarma]

Don't worry about the OGG then, I ripped the songs to mp3 then sent them to moe.

I've downloaded a lot of stuff that I haven't bought in OGG though, so I hope that this doesn't become a problem again in the future.

[foxStick]

Okay, I've got a couple that I think would fit the theme...

Aquabats - Chemical Bomb
Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons (The original is actually by Nina, but I reeeally don't like that version...)

[explicitkarma]

My last submissions:

Believer - Dies Irae (Day of Wrath)
Pearl Jam - Do the Evolution
Postal - Sucks to your Ass-Mar

[mow]

I seriously think we need to add some Spice girls, nothing spells DoomsDay more than girl band brit-pop

[Nybarius]

I vote for Hughie Charles -- "We'll Meet Again" as the last track. It's the song that played at the end of the movie "Dr. Strangelove."

Secondly, Black Sabbath -- Electric Funeral

Because this list needs some Sabbath.

Edit: Vera Lynn sang "We'll Meet Again," but Hughie Charles wrote it, if I am not mistaken.

[mow]

Im pretty sure charles wrote it.

anyhow, you guys and gals know the trick now, pm me which ever songs you feel should be added ;]

[Djinn]

oh nine inch nails-right were we belong

[louuster]

By the way moe, i didnt submit fight fire with fire by therion, it was erkekjetter. just to let you know ;)

[jkingler]

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire (god, that song brings back memories :crying)

[Twoism]

Helios - West Orange
It just has such a hopeless feeling to it.

[mow]

To everyone here who pmed me when I wasnt online today, please pm again, I accidently deleted all the pms I recieved today >_<.

[sunshine and gasoline]

It came to me while watching the first post, and seeing everybodys picks.

This is a fucking great idea, this will speed up getting into diffrent band and which ones will be added to the check out list.

I actually long until tomorrow so that I can check out these recommendations. It's gonna be great, and I'll be sure to give it my post rock workover.

You're also being reped for this moe, sure you have an insane amount of rep , but it's the tought that counts.

[mow]

Thanks mate :amuse

Okay lads, Im now zipping and uploading all songs that have been sent to me. you'll find txt file with what to do next included =]

[Procyon]

I know the perfect song, but I don't have it on my computer! v_v

Anyone have "Duende"?

[sunshine and gasoline]

I know the perfect song, but I don't have it on my computer! v_v

Anyone have "Duende"?

To bad mate, this mixtape has stoped taking new songs.

Better luck with the next weeks one.

[mow]

I know the perfect song, but I don't have it on my computer! v_v

Anyone have "Duende"?

oh im sure mate, I already began uploading the current songs. Be sure to be early next time ^.^


and by the way, the mixtape uploading is 176 mb. :blink

[sunshine and gasoline]

and by the way, the mixtape uploading is 176 mb. :blink

WTF? How many song are there on it? This is gonna take a while to listen to it, judging by size.

[mow]

31 songs. Seeing how large it is, Im giving you guys more time. I was planning on 2 days, but now, I think 5 days will be better.

[Procyon]

Can I still listen to them? o.o

[mow]

Sure =D, Ill pm you the zip file as soon as it uploads :amuse

[Nybarius]

Hm, maybe you should re-rip the mp3s with a different quality? It would be good to normalize the levels, anyway, if you haven't already, or else this mixtape might require constant fiddling with sound settings.

[mow]

I would, but my laptop is... >_<

[Nybarius]

Well, no big deal, really. Maybe next time.

[skmt999]

Damn, what a neat idea. And the list is pretty good, too. ;-)

Can I get in on this action, or is it contributors only? http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y74/skmt999/Ibiki2sxy.gif

[mow]

Nah, you can get in the action, your awesomeness has been tripled with that "Im too sexy for my cat" giffie XD

Ill link you the collection :amuse

[skmt999]

w00t! (and my brother wonders why I spend so much time on this forum) :amuse

You know, I think you're the first person to admire the Ibiki. Most people seem to be afraid of him or something. (ok, so it's a little creepy, it fit the collection) ;-)
<oh on the catwalk...>

[explicitkarma]

With foobar2000 (http://www.foobar2000.org/), you can do stuff like normalize each song. However, it doesn't actually edit the file, it just stores the effects in the ID3 tag. Also, you can burn CD's of the songs with the effects that were stored in the ID3 tag. That's what I plan on doing with it.

[Nybarius]

Cool, explicitkarma. I'll give it a try.

[skmt999]

mooooe..... heeeelp.....! S&G's.rar didn't want to open. The other's did, but it just hiccups on this one and refuses. I am most frustrated. If I recall, S&G had some on the list that I was really looking forward to. *pouts*

I'm sorting through the others as I type. There's one that reminded me of a song that in retrospect would have been perfect for this list.
I can't remember which of the new Zombie movies it was- but it had a Lounge version of Down with the Sickness - O.M.G. Anyway, despite it being far too late, I thought I'd say that. :laugh
