Title: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: Jason on February 13, 2007, 12:34:38 PM: Here's my FOT Mixtape idea.
We get a list of people who want in and I'll arrange them in a random order.
I'll go first and send an mp3 to the first person on the list, they then select an mp3 to follow on and send it to me, I then send that mp3 to the next person on the list and so on. Nobody will know what the end mix will be like as each participant will only know the name of two tracks.
When its all finished I'll make the whole thing available for downloading with artwork.
Discuss your picks if you want but don't name them on the board, that would ruin the surprise of the end product, its like audio consequences.

Post by: Sarah on February 13, 2007, 01:13:29 PM: The whole thing sort of a-scares me 'cause I'm so unhep, but what the hell . . . I'm in.

Post by: jed on February 13, 2007, 01:53:08 PM: count me in
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: bruce on February 13, 2007, 01:56:04 PM: Sure
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: Laurie on February 13, 2007, 02:09:05 PM: I'm game.

It might also be fun to do a monthly secret mix-tape/CD trade. Or bi-monthly, if y'all are lazy. If Jason doesn't want to head it, I'll gladly take control if there are enough people interested in participating.

Post by: John Junk on February 13, 2007, 02:17:32 PM: I'd be into that, Laurie. It's funny because this plot sort of reminds me of when my friends and I used to make group mixtapes in college, which was in Southern, mellow (aside from rape and homicide) Baltimore. We would just go around the room and people would sort of try and top one another but it was all in good fun. I told my New York brother about this and when I moved to New York he had developed it into this highly competitive "Survivor" style thing where people voted each other off the tape! I would get so infuriated and drunk during these mixtape parties that I actually ended up throwing cookies at the wall one time and storming out in a rage because I put on a Jim O'Rourke song and my brother accused me of being passive aggressive and "not playing to win". Like I don't know, I was supposed to put on "Born To Run" or something.

Would you guys say you're more into Billy Ray Cyrus or Garth Brooks?

Post by: Tyrannosaurus Rocks on February 13, 2007, 10:21:50 PM: Fuck yes.
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: Jason on February 13, 2007, 11:46:35 PM: Ok.
I think that's enough people.
You can add your name as a waiting list if you want but everyone will be able to download the end result.

I liked the idea so much I organized one on another forum. it's not too bad, as long as people reply to you quickly and they have an e-mail system that doesn't bounce the mp3 attachment (gmail works well for this).
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: Jason on February 18, 2007, 02:55:01 PM: Well I've mangaged to solicit two tracks in six days so far. At this rate with 19 people we can expect to see a result in 57 days, around the the middle of April.
I know it's hard to think ahead especially when we're trying to achieve some flow from the preceding track but do try and get back to me as quick as you can.

Work with me people, work with me!

Post by: Laurie on February 18, 2007, 04:05:48 PM: I have to wait for Brucey Darling to stop slacking and send in an mp3 to you before I can do anything, correct?
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: John Junk on February 18, 2007, 04:21:49 PM: I'm waiting with baited breath to receive specific, personal instruction.
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: Sarah on February 18, 2007, 05:00:35 PM: I can promise a quick turnaround. I'm compulsive that way.

Which is technically against the rules, however if this is the new FOT feud we've all been waiting for then I'm all for it.
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: kenkwan on February 18, 2007, 11:50:52 PM: My song is in.

Love,
ME
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: Sarah on February 19, 2007, 10:24:07 AM: Laurie vs. Bruce: there can be only one.

P.S. I just sent in my song.
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: Laurie on February 19, 2007, 11:43:10 AM: I'm following the rules; therefore, I win.

Also, I'm going to attempt to submit a song that sounds good with Bruce's choice, even though he obviously made no effort to do so. You were supposed to wait for Jason to send you Jed's mp3, smartypants!

Ruining things since 1969, indeed!
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: Jason on February 19, 2007, 11:58:51 AM: Actually I randomized the list of participants, it also includes people whom PMed me and a few special guests.
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: Laurie on February 19, 2007, 12:06:01 PM: I stand corrected. Correction: I sit corrected.

Nonetheless, you're supposed to wait for Jason to contact you with an mp3. That way you can provide a song that effortlessly transitions from "Porcupine Pie" or "Way Down in the Hole" or the "Mr. Belvedere" theme song.
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: A.M. Thomas on February 19, 2007, 09:38:11 PM: So I'm just waiting for an e-mail from Jason? I already have an mp3 picked out.
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: Jason on February 19, 2007, 10:44:49 PM: Yeah, I was going to email everyone with a copy of the mp3 that the preceding participant had provided.
However if you're the stubborn, pig-headed, obdurate, uncooperative, mulish, contrarian oaf that Laurie seems to think Bruce is, then go ahead and send it to me now.
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: bruce on February 19, 2007, 11:07:49 PM: Flattery will get you nowhere with me Jason
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: Tyrannosaurus Rocks on February 20, 2007, 12:09:12 AM: I tried to make my song work a little with the previous song. I don't know if I was successful.

Is it going to tell us which song people sent in?
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: John Junk on February 20, 2007, 01:34:00 PM: I tried to send jason something yesterday. Hopefully it worked.
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: daveM on February 21, 2007, 07:36:05 PM: damn! way late to the party, as usual...i've been somewhat mixtape obsessed for some time now, and have wondered about making some kind of online exchange thing happen.

Not sure i'd be all that fussed about the original list put together, with everyone submitting one track. I feel like there's gotta be some back and forth, some tet a tet, some mano a mano...uh, yeah. Maybe a 4 or 5 way would be about right.

So, if whoever it was that got a splintered off thing started still has some momentum going and it's not too late, please send a message my way and i'd happily join in. Or maybe someone wants to start a new one up.

thanks!

Post by: jed on February 21, 2007, 07:52:02 PM: i did my part. i was following my own mixtape rule #1: continuity is key, in not picking out a song until i heard what it would follow. but i did have a few different ones picked out that i thought i might use and none of them worked with the gem that i was sent. i had to frantically review my entire itunes library and ended up going for something kind of generic, a great song but nothing new really. geez. so much pressure. i hope everyone likes it. love me.

Post by: Chris L on February 21, 2007, 11:54:33 PM: I too had to scrap my original choice as it clearly wasn't going to fit in. Maybe I'll save it for the FOT box set.
Title: Re: FOT Mixtape.
Post by: bruce on February 22, 2007, 11:13:06 PM: Well to tide everyone over till Jason finishes up the mix tape. Jason is working very hard on it so to give him a little breathing room I whipped up a little hour of power for all to enjoy.

Will you like everything on it who knows. But I will promise one thing it's varied.

You will have to down load it to see the songs. But I will say everything on it is just from my mp3's nothing from my vast bootleg collection. So don't worry there is no twenty minute Neil Young & Crazy Horse jam on it.

But the last track is for Stevie Blue & Capt. Jack the delusional twins

I'll take partial blame for binge drinking at the weekend.
