i've just been informed that briggs will be hosting a LP later tonight at 9:30pm EST

way too cold

glad you enjoyed the show! also thats awesome you got a autograph too!

ah that's okay. shortly after you left and I played the rest of the songs I had to go away for a while and everyone else left...haha!

I just gave mine a listen and here's my thoughts Track 1 This voice sounds really familular but I can't put my finger on it. The harmonies are really nice, and the arrangement of the song sounds good. It's a typical sound for an indie song, but I really like it. Then some horns come in and add to the arrangement. It sounds really nice all put together. The horns are not over the top or anything, but work perfectly. I really like this song, it's a nice way to start things off Track 2 This song starts off with acoustic guitar and some nice electronic drum beats. The electronic drum beats are really catchy and work really well with the instruments. The vocals are good too. They sound a little familular. Then the song sort of opens up and get's really good. I sort of imagine flying or something. I find this chorus very catchy. The song was really good overall, I feel the songs worked well together from the 1st to 2nd track. Track 3 Initially this song sounds like some post rock with the airiness of the guitar and the heavy drums. The vocals come in and it sounds a lot like Bono. It really does sound so much like bono/U2 it's scary. Perhaps it is them but an unreleased song? At first I thought the song was alright, but as it has progresssed it gets better. Then it sort of gets quiet for a while and sounds really nice w/ the atmospheres of the guitars and the vocals. Track 4 The song starts with a nice drum beat. It's solid and makes you want to move around. The vocals are nice in this too. Then some guitars come in and the song gets kind of sexy…haha! I really like the groove to this song! I really like these choruses where the vocalist screams and then it sounds different and more full. I dunno what it is about this song but it's really awesome! So far this is my favorite song off the mix. Track 5 The song starts with some really quiet guitar work and some piano that's barely noticable at first. It then sort of explodes with a catchy drum beat and some really nice almost middle-eastern sounding strings. The vocals are alright in this at first they are not too bad but are a little annoying as time progresses. The song then gets really quiet and it gives me the impression of being in the cold woods with someone whispering. Then the song goes back to the drums with the strings, which sounds good. Then some piano lines are added in the background that sound good and compliments the music, and makes it a little creepy. The song again gets quiet and it adds to the creepiness. I like the arrangement of this song Track 6 This song opens with a nice rhythm for the drums, and then later comes in with some additional instruments and vocals. It makes me want to move around and dance a bit. The vocals are nice. Also the harmonies later on sound nice especially with the backing arrangement of the instruments. I really enjoy this song… the arrangement with the vocals, instruments and especially rhythm section really make the song very catchy, and it's a song that i'd definitely come back to. Track 7 The song opens with some drums. It sounds very popish initially. It sort of reminds me of Owl City a bit with the vocals, in fact it may be Owl City the more I listen to it. The song is definitely catchy, but I don't think it's a song that I really like so much. Track 8 The song opens with a harpsichord and female vocals. It reminds me of a baroque period style of song. The song picks up a little with a underlying bass synth. The chorus adds more instrumentation and is catchy. Then it goes back to the verse and I'm not sure if I'm really into it too much. I think instrumentally it's impressive with the playing, but i'm not a huge fan of this. Also I feel this song goes on for a bit too long. Track 9 The song opens with a nice drum beat. It gives a nice rythtm to the song. Then some vocals come in. It reminds me slightly of Bono. This song is okay. I think that the instrumentation isn't so bad during the verses. But I'm not so much of a fan of the chorus. I would imagine this being a song that would be popular on the radio. Track 10 The song opens with some nice classical sounding guitar. The vocals come in and I'm not so sure if I'm a big fan of it. I think that the arrangement of the instruments are good, but the vocals are a little bit cheesy and I'm not sold on them. As this song progresses towards the end it gets to be a bit over the top. Track 11 This song starts with some really nice piano. Then the song sort of explodes into some modern day alternative/punk band. I really do not like this song. It's too heavy and sounds too much like a modern day hard rock band. For me the best part of the song is the piano. Track 12 The song starts off okay. This sounds a lot like Interpol not just with the guitar but also the vocals too. After not really liking the last few songs this song is better. It has a very dark tone to it. I think this song is not so bad. It's nothing really amazing, but might be a song I would give a 2nd listen again on this mix. Track 13 This song starts with a nice sounding acoustic guitar. Then comes in some really minimal and barely noticable drums that I like. The vocals are very similar to Phil Selway, but the backing vocals sort of give it away as it not being him. I like the overall mood of this song especially the middle section. It sounds very airy, which is something that I like and find relaxing. At first I wasn't so sold, but I really enjoyed it by the end of the song Track 14 The last song off the mix opens with some sort of ambient instrumental sounds. This is Jonsi! I really like this song a bit. The piano is very nice sounding. I remember him playing this song live and it was really good. The piano and vocals sound really beautiful. This is the only song that I recognized from the mix. It's a nice way to end the mix. Overall Thoughts: I felt that the mix started off really strong with the 4th song being the height of it being really great! Track 6 was then the last song I really liked. I felt that the flow of those first 6 songs were really great, but then it sort of lost it's way. Track 7 was not terrible, but it wasn't my type of song I would love. Then tracks 8-11 were pretty bad imo. Then the songs from 12 to the end progressively got better, and the flow was very solid. So my favorite song would definitely be Track 4, as well as the first 5-6 songs or so. I'd give this mix a 6/10. Though I wasn't fully sold on this mix it had a few songs I really liked, and I really appreciate whomever made this mix for taking the time to do so! :thumbsup:

thanks for those that came, but more importantly to those that voted! I didn't play some songs that people requested because they did not show up and I thought it'd be pointless if i did

she didn't mean one of my own songs...haha I was talking to her online yesterday and she wanted to hear what electronic songs/music I liked

I don't think I have many of these songs, but I'll try to get them (rip them from youtube). but feel free to shout out a few requests in case I don't have certain songs or have time to get others.

put your request into the request thread, so it's more easily organized for me :)

Since I won (well tied with others for first) for the best new thread of 2010 for a non-coldplay thread I wanted to thank you all by doing a LP of just song requests. So feel free to send in your suggestions, and I will try my best to play as many songs as I can. Also keep in mind that though I have nearly 13,000 songs I might not have all the songs that are requested but will try my best. so send out suggestions! also... this thread can be shut down later tonight or tomorrow.

alright I'm going to do one at 5pm EST/10pm GMT and it's going to be a listeners request LP, to thank all of you for voting for this thread and having it win! :D

what time works best for you guys?

i'm going to try to do one tonight if people are interested i might try to just do some random songs, with a bunch of requests from you guys. also i'm thinking about doing my fav. songs of 2010 too (maybe like top 25)

Happy Birthday! :D
