I tried to pick tracks from different genres and different eras that I felt were summery. Some of it is ska which is what might have scared my reviewer away, along with the more poppy tracks. I just wanted to try something different.

If there's anyone out there who still hasn't received a mixtape, I'd like to make another one. I feel the need to redeem myself now. And in the future I shall stay clear away from themes. :dozey:

Hi, that was me. I was trying to make it themed, but apparently I failed. Most of that stuff doesn't actually represent what I listen to most of the time so please don't judge me. Sorry it wasn't up to your standards.

No problem! Yeah, they sound amazing so far. I'll have to keep an eye out for their new album. Thanks again! :D

Received my mixtape, reviewing while I listen...with song information unfortunately. But that happened to me last time too, it's no big deal. :nice: 1) Motion City Soundtrack! I've been meaning to give them a listen. Pretty good, poppy and catchy. Good start. 2) Oooh I like the intro! Nice strings! If I didn't know better I'd say it sounds like vuvuzelas. But much more pleasant. Never heard of this band but I think I might check them out now. They have a nice warm, thick sound. 3) Also a very warm sound...haha I just don't know how to describe it. I guess I suck at writing reviews. The singer has a really good voice though. 4) Ok so I cheated a little...I couldn't open it in iTunes so I looked it up on YouTube since I had the info. But I like it! It's kind of electronic-sounding, with a catchy bass line and some "Ah, ah ahs" that cut in and out, and some synth and distorted guitar later on. 5) Opens with acoustic guitar, female singer, then some light bass and backing vocals are added. Kind of sounds like Ingrid Michaelson a bit? Very mellow, with cute, romantic lyrics: "Be mine, Valentine." Aww. 6) "When I watch you, wanna do you, right where you're standing..." Heh. This is really good though, quite upbeat. Sounds a bit like The Strokes, but punkier. 7) Another upbeat rock song. I'm sh-sh-shaking. I like it. 8) Oh hey I've heard this song! I always thought it was the Black Eyed Peas but apparently not? Sounds like them though. Very upbeat, with a sort of hip hop-reggae beat. This is a very nice contrast to everything I've heard so far. 9) Same as #4, I had to YouTube it. Meh. Very catchy though, interesting lyrics..."You are the girl I've been dreaming of ever since I was a little girl," sung by a guy? Hm. The video is really interesting too if you haven't seen it. Pretty good overall. 10) Piano ballad? Oh, John Legend. Classic. I really like the lyrics. "We can destroy hunger, we can conquer hate. Put down your arms and raise your voice, we're joining hands today." How inspirational! iTunes recommends a playlist called Election Songs, lol. 11) My sister loves The Rocket Summer so I'm somewhat familiar with him. I like what I've heard so far and this is no exception. Very upbeat. It makes me happy. 12) Moby? I think I've heard this one before. I like it. Lots of strings, delicate piano, and atmospherics with a techno beat. Overall, awesome job! Not a single song I dislike. :D I'll have to check out some of these artists. Thanks so much! :nice:

Ahh, I love A Message...makes me cry every time, it's just so beautiful. It's one of those songs that make me feel like Chris is singing to me when I hear it. :wacky: I don't really understand all this X&Y bashing. No, it's not their best album, but it's still very well-made, with several unforgettable tracks. It will always have a special place in my heart for being the album that made me fall in love with Coldplay, after hearing Clocks one day on the radio. In retrospect, I'm glad that it sounds so different from their previous albums. It is evidence of their versatility as artists.

Why thank you. :D

Sign me up, please! This time I'll try not to get frustrated and forget about the thread before I get a review! :D

^THIS. :D Regardless of what anyone says, there is no objective way to judge how "cool" something is/isn't. Coolness is entirely arbitrary and subjective and is therefore meaningless as a means to compare music or any other art form.

To be honest, I really liked it. They made it their own and their voices sound nice together. Great job with the harmonies. Lighten up guys! No one could EVER "ruin" such a brilliant song as The Scientist. :smug:

Normally, I would say NO WAY to something like this, but I love Glee, so this is exciting! Please don't judge me. :P I can't wait to see which song(s) they pick. :dance:

Wow! Beautiful! I wish I could play like that!

What an amazing story this has been! Thank you for keeping us all entertained for a few hours, Angie! :nice: We're so happy for you!

AHHHH FINALLY CHRISSY! :dance: But aww he was swarmed by fans! But I would totally be one of those fans! :lol: I can't wait to hear what Ryan's mother thinks of all this. Certainly she'll be super happy to know that the story finally got to the band--the WHOLE band--and to have your awesome pics to put on the site! You used your stalker skills to help a great cause! :nice: This would be a great ending, but I have a feeling it's not over yet...is it?

Eeeeep. :\ Good luck with that! I still don't blame you for being in this thread instead though, haha. It's just so suspenseful!
