That's very kind, feel free to review mine cause my partner has completely disappeared :D

That was ultra coherent, I loved it, and that was exactly the kind of music I was feeling like listening to, so it was more than perfect. Plus I don't listen to any of these bands usually (though I know the name most of them) so now I'll start to look for more stuff from them. Thanks a lot. Feel free to send me the 2 other songs you wanted to add ;) And here is my lastfm is you want to have an idea of what I usually listen to (although it's a bit late ahah)

Alright so... my mixtaper hadn’t actually deleted the informations on most of the tracks so I could see what I was listening to but I tried not to until I finish reviewing. Track 1 – Very atmospheric song, perfect way to start a mixtape. Obviously, this is Bjork. I'm not that much into her but I do not dislike her, that track is awesome, very relaxing and I wish it was lasting longer. **** Track 2 – We're staying in this kind of psychedelic atmosphere but it's getting more dynamic. I like that a lot, perfect transition. I don't know this band at all though I'd say the voice reminds me that of Damon Albarn. That track is also driving me a little crazy with the repetition of ''oh now, then, never again'', but it's actually quite addicting. I wanna give this band a try. *** Track 3 – Good job on the transition, this one is a bit less psychedelic but it's close to the other tracks. A bit more ''rhythmic'', quite interesting. The voice reminds me of Bjork, I'm not too into it but it's ok. The keyboard makes the song a little retro, that's quite interesting. I prefer the two other tracks though. ** Track 4 – Beat. That's turning a bit more indie rock which is not a bad thing. This song didn't catch my attention that much, felt it was a mix of different things we hear a lot nowadays. Plus this male voice hasn't anything special imo but it's a pleasant track, especially the end which is getting a bit more dynamic. ** Track 5 – Once again very good transition, and we're back in the psychedelic atmo, loving this. The beginning of the track is awesome, the electric guitar solo is totally addictive. Could be from Radiohead though the background voice which we can hear sometimes makes me think that it's not. Rhythm accelerating toward the end, brilliant. Prob my fav track of the tape. That's totally what I like to listen to, can't wait to know who that’s from. **** Track 6 – Starts with a solo of guitar which sounds a bit oldie, which the voice confirms. Can't deny I'm a little surprised to hear that in the middle of the mixtape, but it's funny so it kinda brings a ''fresh'' (but also a bit melancholic as well) touch to the mixtape. ** Track 7 – ''Hoarse sounding'' female voice, like it a lot. Quite experimental, and indie. The kind of artist I would totally love (although that track might be a bit too slow for me). It actually turned out I totally know who sings that (but I realised that when I saw the informations of the track, I wouldn't have guessed on my own). I only have a few tracks of PJ. The end where she's whispering ''little fish big fish swimming in the water...'' is A BLAST. *** Track 8 – Good transition, once again, I'm liking the work done on that mixtape, really sounds like the track weren't put in a random order. Light track, is that British ? Good track to get closer to the end of the mixtape, relaxing, I feel like I'm in a movie (such as The Party ahah). I'm finding the track a bit repetitive but not in a bad way. It's pleasant to listen to. ** Track 9 – Crazy opening of an electro track with the sound of someone breathing which was slowed down. Fun, and interesting. Once again it's all about atmosphere, so it fits perfectly the mixtape. It's fun I'm listening to this mixtape after waking up (right, at 5pm cause I was travelling and didn't sleep these last 3 days) because I feel it's the perfect situation to listen to it. It's waking me up in a lovely way. Anyway that track is crazy and I love that, especially the French sentence in the middle (who are you mixtaper? are you French?) *** Track 10 – Ends on a very soft track, piano voice (female). It just happens I'm into impressive female voices, so I do like this track which is quite moving and a beautiful way to close the mixtape. I saw it was Bat for Lashes, which is very surprising for me, I would have thought it was older. I saw BfL live before Coldplay and they didn't catch my attention this much. I'm impressed, this track is the first one I like from them. It's a real good one. Thanks a lot for that. *** So as a conclusion, first I'd like to thank my mixtaper who obviously worked seriously on this mixtape. There's really a whole atmosphere which flows through the tape and which makes it very pleasant to listen to (and as I said, which fits my mood perfectly). I decided to take the links to my twitter and lastfm account off my signature at the beginning of the game cause I didn't want to hear a mixtape made according to my taste but something a bit more ''personal'', which would gimme a clue of my mixtaper's tastes and personality, and I feel like it worked perfectly. That's exactly what I wanted to hear, plus that's the kind of songs I totally like - though I don't have many from that genre so thanks a lot for that. Looking forward to know more about the artists I discovered through your tape. Here's what I know : Track 1 – Hidden Place by Bjork Track 2 – Too Young To Love by The Big Pink (dunno them) Track 3 – Heartbeats by The Knife (I know them but never tried to listen to them) Track 4 – ??? Track 5 – A Deafening Distance by ??? Track 6 - ??? Track 7 – Down By The Water by PJ Harvey Track 8 - ??? Track 9 - ??? Track 10 – I’m On Fire by Bat For Lashes Overall, I'd give it a 8/10. Awesome tape (too short though, but maybe it could be strange to dive in this atmosphere for a longer time?)!

Just reminding my unknown partner that I'm off until Tuesday so I'll review the mixtape I'll receive on that day :) Have fun discovering the mixtapes everyone.

30 out of 69 then, just sent mine :)

Mine's almost finished, sending it tonight or tomorrow :)

Received my partner's name, ready to start now! By the way, dear unknown-person-who's-making-a-mixtape-for-me, I won't be home from the 11th to the 13th because I'm attending a gig far from where I live, so do not worry, I'll listen to the mixtape and will review it as soon as I'll be back (so on the 13th) ;)

Nan mais attends quand j'y pense, vu la qualité de son qu'on avait, si le mec voulait bien l'entendre il était déjà tout simplement pas au bon endroit. Hein, chié d'abord. Et en plus il m'engueule car il m'entend ENTRE les morceaux quand Flo est à la batterie. Moi jamais crier quand artiste parle, je m'arrête direct. Alors c'est un LIAR LIAR LIAR (I WILL RUN I WILL FIGHT I WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT), parce qu'en plus c'est pas les Crans non plus, les chanson douces (blinding & co) j'en connais les refrains mais même pas les couplets... bref et puis j'ai pris pour plusieurs personnes car Camille chantait parfois limite plus fort que moi. Aahhh n'empêche à la fin il m'a prise dans ses bras pour s'excuser, mais ce qui m'a fait tripper c'était le ''désolé j'avais pas pigé qu'elle te connaissait''... ah non mec je crois pas :D Et j'adore sur Dog Days quand elle donne l'exemple et qu'on est plusieurs à sauter ''some of you already know I can see''... ahah, we love you Flo ;) C'est Pénélope? Elle est en couple?!

Elle est incroyable Melissa ou whatever is her name!

Je t'avais dit de me harceler!!! Elle m'écoute pas... :D Un mail par jour jusqu'à dimanche sitoplait, il faut que j'arrive à choper mon popa pour avoir un DVD vierge (ça répond à ta question: je t'amène le DVD gravé dimanche, si je suis parvenue à quelque chose...)

Mixtape mixtape :)

Mixtape mixtape :)

Yeah I don't, but that one's swallow-able and it's the most successful one :)

I know Rodou it's a shame! Lilou: chocolate, funnier... And no Beth ran away from facebook so I don't think she's gonna add me hehe

Oh no no, that's not what I meant: Gossip is turning mainstream, she's not ''punk'' on stage anymore, audience is changing, she's got voice problems, and I used to see her in small venues for like 25 euros, so I'm not willing to pay 53 euros to see them in biggest venues, we're losing the ''Gxxp spirit''. So yeah, last one as in ''bye bye Beth Ditto, I like you but I'm sorry... that'll be guestlist or nothing'' ;) Oh yes, brioches for Solidays, that'll def remind me of Tours... and cheer me up?

Yep, I'm off to Flo now, then I'll go to the Solidays with Lilou next week and I also (and unfortunately) have a Gossip gig in December (Bercy - 53 euros... possibly my last one cause it's getting ridiculous)... :bigcry:

If only I was post-gig depressed... I actually still have 2 gigs to attend. lalalala

I'm in...

:bigcry: (+ listening to the Flo song lilou just sent me... = mega big cry)

Je suis fan :D

Aurélie, as tu déjà entendu parler de ''la grecque''? car tu lui réponds sur youtube, c'est trop drôle!

Camé, camé XD

Lilou> Oh do not think so! If you thought she was looking at you, then there are high chances that she def was cause she does pay lotsa attention to as many people as she can, and I can tell she wasn't only looking at me! And yes, you pictured quite well the mood she's been in for few years now, she is very maternal... which is kinda ironic cause she's very insecure and thus she's the one who needs to be protected. Love her :bigcry: ... Anyway, V, can't you make it to the Solidays? We're only attending one day, Flo's day, but M, Delphic, Pony Pony Run Run-thingy, Izia and many more are performing on that day.

Ahhhh you're going to make me cry. So moving. Thanks for everything, the Lilou's such a nice place! Don't be sad for me, I realised on the following day how close to us Dol was precisely because of that lack of atmosphere, so it's not that bad. I just didn't manage to enjoy it cause I wanted them to feel ''carried'' by a few persons in the crowd. Guess they're thankful for that, in a way? :( It really is the very first show of the tour like that, people keep on signing up on our forum to apologize and explain Tours' crowd is always a lame ahah. That's kinda cute. Have a look at the pics of Dol after the show, she's terribly pretty!!! Btw there's a strange pic of yours where Dol's seated in front of us during Ode, looking at me, and it almost looks like she has tears in her eyes whereas I'm pretty sure it was NOT the case. Odd! Anyway, was really nice spending time with you, so as you say: see you in 3 weeks for the Flo odyssey. You'll see how friendly the atmosphere is at the Solidays, it's always so much fun. Btw thanks again for the Flo box!

Ahah V, I think Aurélie's gone, she was up early this morning so she must be in Paris already. Have fun tonight girls, stalk them, I heard they were easy to catch indeed. I have a new life moto: quand on veut on peut. Believe me it does work quite well ahahah
