The Mixtape Exchange, Round 3: Swaps complete, please post your reviews
I have already reviewed my mixtape but I was lucky enough to get to listen to another one. Again many new (to me) songs, many bands I want to hear more from. This is a great way to find new music. 1. Long build-up before it bursts into loud and wild. And then it's over. Great opening track! 2. Starts with a dirty guitar, I love it. It's dark and disturbing, has a drive and energy. Abrupt ending. This song won't leave me alone, it's determination and action. Reminds me of Joy Division. 3. My notes after the first listening says 'bland' but it isn't at all. This song has grown on me. A rich, dense sound with funny little surprises. Catchy. 4. Drums! I love them, dark and driving. Great lyrics and vocals, brilliant chorus. The ending is a surprise. To me it's a song about transition that leaves you with the feeling that all will end well. 5. A thick wall of music with layers of graffiti on it. Do I hear bagpipes? I love the strong rhythm, lots of sounds, interesting voice. And then it changes towards the end. I think this mystery mixer likes the unexpected and so do I. My favourite so far. 6. Noisy, catchy, I wanna dance and jump around. It's summer, festivals and fun. I'll definitely remember it! :) 7. Yes! More jumping. The voice isn't as strong as the music but it's a contrast that works well. 8. Another song where rhythm is central but this time more electronic with a deep bass tone in the back. Love it! Again a surprise ending, a little sad but in a good way. 9. Something completely different. Soft, jazzy, warm. Mmm... Wanna dance? I do. Feel-good, mellow song. The mystery mixer surprises me again. 10. Aaah, bass! This sounds familiar... Psycho Killer! Classic! But which version is it? It's not Talking Heads, is it? No... Haven't heard it in ages, good choice! 11. I have a new favourite! Love this one from the great intro and all through the magnificent chaos. Bagpipes again? :thinking: Probably not this time either, but I hear them and I want more! 12. Old crackly vinyl, jazzy, sweet strings and a rocking guitar together with vocals both sweet mellow and desperate. Sounds strange but it works perfectly together in a very interesting song. It just fades out... Who IS this? Great song to end this mix. Another great mixtape, diverse with many surprises. It wasn't made for me, but it could've been. Music I don't normally listen to, which means lots of good news. I hope the original recipient will return to these shores and find this great mix of strong rhythms, noisy post-punk and mmm... those drums. Thank you, mystery mixer! :nice: I really enjoyed listening. What have I been listening to? :D

The Mixtape Exchange, Round 3: Swaps complete, please post your reviews
Yeah, I was afraid of that too. You could work with a theme or a good flow... Join the next round! It's fun :) ________________ I signed up for one of the unreviewed tapes too. I've listened to it once and I really like it. Give me a few more days, please. I'll be back with a review this weekend (or Monday latest). (It's the tape with Psycho Killer ;))

For Coldplay section's chatterers !
I don't do them either. I'm not good at it and it can really hurt people if they're not done right. But people can do it to me. I don't mind. I just get very nervous and want it over with as soon as possible :)

To Lock Or Not To Lock?
Yes, I wonder too. What a great end to a thread :D

For Coldplay section's chatterers !
Haha, I'm a bit paranoid cause I think there is a prank war going on and I'm about to be attacked. It always sounds fun to join but I don't have the nerves for those things. I'm very happy, thank you Kite. Still on a high from a lot of good things that happened yesterday. And a bit bored cause the only thing going on over here is the Eurovision song contest :\ I tried to watch it earlier, but I fell asleep.

For Coldplay section's chatterers !
You're not involved in a prank war, are you? Cause that would be really creepy. You really scared me. OK, my name may be Carina but I'm not, so I prefer Cee or just C if that's OK with you. So how are you?

F*** My Life
Haha, the Darwin awards are funny. It was new to me, so thank you! It's a good thing that we're so stupid :) I have spent some time with the Mindfuck Pictures lately. Quite funny but I'm far too impatient. The idea, if you haven't heard of them, is to look for something weird in a picture that seems to be normal. http://shitbrix.com/mindfuck/29-white-pen0r-br-br-black-feet-br-br-d EDIT: Oh no, why did I post that one. It's not at all representative of the site. Look at this one in stead. http://shitbrix.com/mindfuck/357-the-picture-is-turned

:lol: lots of fun! "Humans Interesting Facts This is weird but true! While sitting at your desk make clockwise circles with your right foot. (go ahead no one will see you) While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction." Yup! :laugh3:

U2
This is unbelievable! I couldn't even get in to Ticketmaster's site the first hour and by then it would be sold out anyway so I had no hope. One last attempt... Now I have the best possible seat (well...) the first night and two standing tickets the second night! I can't believe it! :D I hope you all get the tickets you want. Good luck! It can happen! Obviously :D

Metallica
We got the new date for the rescheduled show. May 4th. And I can go! :) And we'll get a free download of the show :D That's so generous and more than we sad booing people deserve. They didn't have to do that. Hats off to Metallica!
-
Metallica
Oh, I thought the stage was a new idea, there was so much talk about it in the press here. I see your point about front row, can't be the same but a lot of lucky people got really close though. I think the band feeling was a bit lost if that makes any sense. I want to see them play together, they didn't do that so much. June again for you! Yay! And same day haha!
-
Metallica
Dude I want to see them as many times as possible :D I just had tickets for these two nights though, so that's probably it for this tour. We'll see. Oh man, I was so ashamed when people started booing. Of course everyone was disappointed but come on! The band came on stage themselves to tell us and all. No, that was just shameful :shame: We haven't gotten any new date yet but tickets are valid, so let's just hope James is fine and they'll come back. So have any of you seen them? This tour? Interesting to have that huge rectangular stage in the middle of everything. Pros and cons I think, but interesting. Found this interview with Lars Ulrich. Narration in Swedish, but the parts with Lars is in English. It was taped just before the cancelled show and Lars gets the message that James is on his way to the hospital during the interview. Stupid advert first, sorry about that. http://www.tv4.se/1.283438?videoId=1.884514
