I'd like to quote briggins on what the artwork looks like... "it looks like someone ate candy and threw up" And whoever thinks this artwork is the best of all time has rocks in their head.

pfft.... just a bunch of peace loving, grass smoking hippies. Drill baby Drill!!!

yeah my car was so old it only had a cassette player :lol: I ended up replacing it so I could play CD's and use the Aux. but now I rarely use the cd player or radio (since there's not much good on there)

True I use an aux cable and just play songs from my ipod

Remix cd will be released October 10th in UK and the 11th in US

I doubt that they'll end anytime soon. Even though Chris may have said that, I seriously doubt they'll do that and I take things like that with a grain of salt. so long as there's money to be made... I still feel most bands shouldn't continue forever. Usually as bands get older their material is not as good when they first start.

Thanks! Originally I had an Elliott Smith song (Coast to Coast), but it didn't fit

For me there's a few things I'd want to change but for the most part it's being more social around others. People online it's easy to be social, but in real life it can be tough.

Like others have mentioned definitely try to learn an instrument like guitar or piano. It's really a lot of fun. And if you need help learning you can always use youtube videos to help you out.

you got me right! here's the tracklisting http://www.sendspace.com/file/ualuwc

haha yeah exactly. I tried it too just because I was curious to see what it felt like, and I didn't really like it. But I don't think like you said there's anything wrong with experimenting especially with something that can't kill you :lol:

I don't think it's such a big problem. If she wants to try it then let her. Afterall compared to other substances it isn't as bad or have any really bad effects on health. Though of course it's not good for your brain if you do it too much. :lol:

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Best Buy or Barnes and Noble does. I actually saw and bought The Eraser Remixes on Cd (like how this is a single CD of them all put into one) at Barnes and Noble. I think it'll also definitely be on WASTE.

awesome! ...excited to see the tracklisting!

At least we know what the rest of the remixes will be

Time for my review... Track 1a&b: The song starts with narration from I Hercules the animated film (though I've never watched it). Definitely an interesting way to start off a mixtape. Not something I was expecting at all …haha! Track 2: Song opens with some birds. It then breaks with drums, guitar and piano. The piano sounds pretty good. The vocals come in and aren't so bad, and they sound maybe a little familiar. The song reminds me sort of something that Coldplay or Muse or U2 might do, particuarly with the piano. The more I listen to this the more the vocals sound familiar. I like this song… it's pretty good! Track 3: This track opens with guitars and heavy drums. The song then continues with some glockenspiel sounds and a hard driving bass. Then the vocals come in. They sound good. I like how this song is sounding it's different than I was expecting from the initial few seconds. To be honest the vocals remind me a little bit of MGMT. Track 4: Song opens with some autotuned and programing sounded piano. The song then really picks up with drums. The song is very catchy and makes you want to dance. The overall song is really catchy and the higher ranged vocals work well. The overall mix of the songs is really good because although it's upbeat it still has a spacey sound. One of my favorites so far. Track 5: The song opens with some mixed up sounding guitars. It then breaks into the song. The guitars sound pretty good. As the song progresses I like the sound more and more. Definitely a catchy song. Track 6: The song starts with electronic sounds. Sounds a bit like at first something from the 80's or 90's. Then comes more synths and drums. I actually kind of really like the overall sound and arrangement of this song and it's really catchy. The chorus is also really catchy and the harmonies are good! I really like this one a lot overall. Track 7: Song opens with some guitars that have a tremolo effect to it. Then comes in more dancey beats and rhythms. In terms of vocals i'm not so sure if I like it. It reminds me a lot of Sufjan Stevens (perhaps it even is him). Actually during this other verse I really don't like the vocals. I think the arrangement of the instruments and also background vocals is really great, but the lead vocals throw me off. If the lead vocals were different this might be my favorite song so far. Track 8: I actually know this song! It's Land of Talk! The song is Quarry Hymns. I really like this song a lot. The acoustic version of this song they sing is really great. To my mixtape maker if you haven't seen it you should check it out! Track 9: Song opens with acoustic guitar. The harmonies are really nice. And just from it I can tell this is a cover of Arcade Fire's Wake Up. The vocals are pretty good and work well. I like this really stripped down cover and also the bass drum almost sounding like canon fire as if this song was being played during a war scene in a movie or something. Really good cover! Track 10: Song opens with acoustic guitar. From the vocals it sounds a lot like Hey Rosetta, though I'm not sure if it is the more I listen to it. But I do really like the vocals. Track 11: The song opens with a nice electric guitar followed by an acoustic guitar. The song sounds good so far. Not sure I like the vocals though. The overall arrangement of the song and background vocals are good, but the lead vocals I can't get into. Track 12: I recognize this song too! It's The National! I can't remember the song title but I really like this song a lot! just a great song! Track 13: This song is extremely dancey from the get go. It makes you want to dance around, definitely works with a lot of the other songs on the mix, and is a good contrast to previous acoustic songs. Not sure if I'm a huge fan of the song. Like I enjoy it, but part of me things it might be a little to over the top. Track 14: The song opens up with some really great and catchy drums. Then some chanting kind of sounds come in. I do really like the song so far. It then gets a bit heavy with guitars and bass. The vocals work pretty well with the songs. I really like this song a lot. The overall arrangement, feel, rhythm and song is great! I would say this is my favorite song of the mix. Track 15: The song with guitars. The vocals come in with the melody and I know this song. I don't remember who it is, but I've heard this song before. Track 16: We get to the final track of the mix. It opens with talking from Inception. The mix sort of starts how it ends by using talking from movies. I then breaks into piano. And from there it's some strings that are added. i really like this so far. Then some synths come in and then the song comes more of a dance song. It's a really interesting song and I really like it… definitely one of the highlights. Overall I really like this mixtape quite a bit. I found it was a good variety of electronic/dance, acoustic/folk, singer-songwriter and also some strings/classical. Besides the first song (both parts) I enjoyed every track on this. There were parts in some songs that I wasn't a huge fan of, but other things made up for it. Still it was a really good mix and I'm interested to find out about tracks 2, 4, 6, 14 and 16. My favorite was definitely track 14. Well done mixtape maker! :thumbsup:

awesome review and pictures! Looks like you got much closer than I did. Did you actually get like floor seats? or was it in the stands? I'll check out the videos after I finish my mixtape.

on second thought nevermind :lol: :wacky:

^how was that festival? sounds interesting.

I'm guessing that the person who got me didn't send their tape in yet :(

^I've gotten that before. But I didn't do anything with it. They've never taken down any of my videos or anything. I guess it's probably a precaution in case they decide to take your videos off. also it's Maybe I'm Amazed :lol: :P

I don't bother with Radiohead MB... the people on them are usually assholes. the best fansite is Citizen Insane by far... amazing site. Probably the best website dedicated to a band out there.

Do you believe that a 3rd party might take the presidency in 2012? To me it seems that everyone is so sick of both parties and the constant deepening divide that I wouldn't be surprised if people said "fuck it... I'm voting for a 3rd party" I like Ron Paul and his overall views (though I don't see how he doesn't believe in evolution). I think he has a strong following, but I don't think he'd win. Also people will probably think he's too old (he's in his 70's I believe)

I would actually have to disagree. I think it's going to affect the preisdent's reelection chances because it happened on his watch and his overall economic "plan" (if he's even really had one except just spend more), hasn't helped things at all. I think that everyone in all areas of congress are in trouble no matter what, and honestly these upcoming elections should be interesting because clearly both major parties have done a shit job trying to get this done or god forbid even try to work together. They should all grow up and smell the coffee and realize how much trouble there really is. Needless to say should be interesting to see how the market reacts today. Part of me doesn't even want to know. :|

sure I'd probably be around for one.
