You got it! :D I'm bringing an iPad along

702 Draw hand puppets on your hands and entertain your neighbour with it

Niiice. I'll try a teaspoon

I bring along Troxley :D

found out about

Poky, please let us know btw, Niamh<3coldplay hasn't replied to my request for an address and that was more than a month ago. She would be next after Celien, so I skip her. People, if you don't pay attention to the project when it's almost your turn, then I don't want to take the risk and you'll simply be skipped.

I think I like You're not sure? Time to find out then! :wink3: Yup, talk to her and then it's also not that weird to add her in facebook. And I assume she smokes? I don't see how our opinion on smoking would help you :\ You're not sure because she smokes and that kinda turns you off? Hm, normally when I like a guy he ain't perfect, but I like him so much that things like smoking don't really bother me. I don't smoke, but I never asked my bf to quit and he never smokes in the house so I'm happy.

I think Rezzy meant to bring some salt along as well? Can I bring some toffee with me?

I am bringing with me Chocolate I already know it's allowed ;)

Yes Poky, more than a week has passed. Is it on the way to the next? Please let us know ...

:no::no::no: Coldplay is right, because when Chris said Coldplay is for people with great taste, he was clearly talking about the person behind coldplaying.com username Coldplay and not his band. And also when you think about it, it makes sense. How can Coldplay ever be wrong?? :nod:

If Coldplay fans are hippies, then Glenn Sr ain't one of them, hahaha!

I just found some great illustrator (my second mixtape had also as a cover basis one of his works) and I just added some fonts, so to avoid the embarrassment of me drawing Ahhh, that's maybe why the cover looked familiar. Let me then surprise you and say it's Keaton Henson. Guy from London I think, who seems to suffer from social anxiety or something because he just likes to be at home and write music. That song is from a record about a heartbreak he had to endure, it's just a personal thing because I felt so with him after reading a profile of him (and there were people in the comments like "what a looser"). I just feel with him :) Woah, that guy sounds a lot like Moddi then. I haven't heard of Keaton Henson. Again managed to sneak in my pop-preferences, this one is from the bass player of the Chili Peppers. He did a solo EP which I found surprisingly interesting and more offbeat than what the Chillis usually doAgain woah. I was pretty sure it was Royksöpp or a remix by Royksöpp. Interesting! Here we go with the Radiohead references. This one is originally the title track from The Eraser solo album by Thom, but covered by a trumpet player called Christian Scott. If you approach him with care, you may actually start to like jazz. It's the guy that got me also into this sort of music because always has an awesome band, blending Radiohead-style-rock with other things (from loungy to real jazz-rocky). Seems that was a lucky pick :) Oh shit, I really have to listen to The Eraser then. I don't know why I never did. I love Radiohead and I like Atoms for Piece as well, so why didn't I listen to it before :bomb: Again something RHCP-related :D Their former guitarist, with their now guitarist (but on drums) and the bass player from Fugazi, forming a short-lived psychedelic outfit called Ataxia. This one was the shortest song from them I found, but if you're into long jams with distorted guitars, but emotional and with (I think) beautiful voices (both guitarists sing and even the Fugazi guy I think at some point), look no further :) I can see :wacky: wow, I am sure I will like their stuff. Will listen to it! Again RHCP-related (should stop that now :D). Their former guitarist produced their first EP, a female rock band from America called Warpaint. Also sort of psychedelic, but they make really great music. And how many female rock bands are their that make actually good music?!, instead of being the realisation of their managers fantasies... Hahaha, well I can name a few ;) But cool! I have heard of the name Warpaint, I think last.fm even recommends it to me, but I had never gotten to listen to it yet :S From a group I think I should know more about, but I don't. Paradise Circus from Massive Attack :bomb: Okay another band I never gave the attention I should have. I know Massive Attack but never listened to a CD of them. Seems like the unnoticed star of the exchange, yes! The only time I ever listen to solo piano music. Funny, I just listened to a concert of Nils Frahm online. That's why I had to think of him. Aaaah, this tape gave me nice artists to go after :wacky: Thank you!

In the meantime I gave dreamorlife's tape some spins. More than I had to, but that's a good thing I guess, hahaha! At first glance I noticed the 20 numbers! And yeah, it’s more than 80 minutes long. Niiiiice. The theme might have to do with travelling? I say that while looking at the artwork and some titles of the songs; first one nicely says bonjour and last one says goodbye. But that could also be a personal hello of the mixtape maker, rather than referring to a journey. Unless we go all metaphorical and the mixtape is like a journey through all kinds of music. Nice cover, it added to the feeling I got while listening to the tape. Is it self-made or did you look for it to fit the theme? (it looks very familiar to me, so I think it's not self-made) In the cover there's a personal note to me, hahaha. I imagine this used to be one for RazorEye :angry: 1. I know this song. It is good for setting the mood of the tape, I think. I like that. It is chill and something that would be played in a nice club that I imagine myself in during a trip. But I am not a fan of the song, the trick with the high-up pitched voice is something I can't really handle. Beat is too loud for me as well, too dominant. 2. This is Moddi, I think. I never really got into his songs, but I have heard some of his work. It starts off with something that could be Sigur Rós-like, I mean the stuff from their last album then. Then he sings a very honest song. It’s sad. 3. Royksöpp. I like this. It is chill-out, kind of lounge like. 4. Django Django. I like their CD, but to the honest, this is the song of them I like the least :( It is the most poppy and catchy I guess, but I don’t like the default mumbles, which are like robotic. Too bad I let that ruin the song for me, because the beat is very nice, it’s uplifting and the guitars are nice. 5. Simple and cute song. Guy in love with a girl. Your singer-song writer song. “you are a radar detector” what? 6. Aaaah, nice start. Very lounge. Very relaxing. This is neat, it is not one of my favourite music styles, but this song I like. If I would do a three point system per song, this song would get three. It’s soooo nice. It’s like how I wish lounge would sound like. 7. Oh no, I think this is one of these artists that I don’t like. I don’t like it, sorry. When the guy goes all ‘heartbeat ringing out of MY CHEST’ ... no. The song is like what you would hear in a club, I imagine. 8. We’re still in the club. Another way. This sounds like the remix of the song. I’d like to hear the original version, I think it would be better than this remix. If this is not the remix, then I don’t understand why they made the song like this :S hahaha, eh yeah. Like the guitar is cute and nice, but seems out of place when it gets overruled by the remixing of ‘walkanotherway wa wak walkanotherway wa wak’ 9. This is nice. Slow build-up, guitar coming in ... then a nice voice singing. Also a funny ‘kin-kin-kin’ like the guy is mumbling along with the music. Very nice singing. Funky bass. I like this song! 10. Hahaha, I know this song. Rap. The lyrics are ..... yeah well. A bit ridiculous. But that makes it funny. It’s an okay song though. I wouldn’t place it on my iPod (if I’d have one), but I kind of dig it. I also have to laugh about the part when he says ‘Go Play. Go play’ because at first I heard ‘Coldplay, coldplay’ :laugh4: 11. folk, this is very nice! Probably from The Hobbit soundtrack, the dwarf song, right? I never listened to the soundtrack, while I have that one of LotR and that one I have listened to endlessly. Maybe I should get the one from The Hobbit as well. They only sing, no instruments, but the bass voice makes it sound like an instrument to accompany the singing. I really like this song. 12. Nice guitar to start with. Then a girl singing. This reminds me of Blonde Redhead somehow, but it isn’t. She also reminds me somehow of Florence and the Machine. I like this song, it’s rocky, poppy and had weird twists, like halfway it suddenly becomes heavier or the beginning of the bridge where they go Nirvana, hahaha. And the changing in tempo. It seems like a whole lot is going on in the song, but they do it in such a way that it makes sense and sounds good. 13. Starts like a videogame. Then Thom Yorke’s voice. Is this a remix of some of Thom Yorke’s work or did he sing in someone's work? No, I hear more typical Tom York things in the song than just his singing. Okay, I really like to know what this is. 14. Jazz, not my cup of tea 15. Ah nice. Pop/Rock band. “Nikola, we’re gonna make a difference” Simple song, but nice. 16. The guy sounds drunk yes. But the music underneath is nice. But I don’t know about this type of ‘rapping’, it goes smooth because of the way he does, I bet that isn’t easy, but is it rapping? Anyway, it fits the song (lyrics especially) and the song is smooth, okay. I can listen to this some more times :) 17. Piano song and a girl with real girlpower :lol: like the one in #12 bunch of strings accompany the song later one, pretty. This song has a very nice feeling to it. I would like to hear more from this artist. 18. I know this song. Comes by a lot on radio, in clubs and my bf listens to it. We don’t have the same taste, hahaha, maybe I should let him listen to the songs that I don’t get on this mixtape, because those are the type of songs he likes. Nice song to party on. 19. A completely different song again. A soft piano tune. It’s pretty, could be from a movie. Is it Nils Frahm or someone? I want this song. 20. Indeed a summer feeling tune. The beginning makes me very sentimental, because it makes me go back to Nicaragua. How happy memories can make you sad, eh? Nice ending of the mixtape. This tape had so much variation, jazz, rap, dwarfs singing folk, straight pop, electronic, lounge, ambient. Definitely made it interesting to listen to it. My favourite songs were 6 (not only because it sounds good, but mostly because it is in a genre that I usually dislike), 9, of course 11, and 12 :heart: Thank you for the mixtape! I am sure a lot of work went into it. Perhaps good to know that I surely will check out some of these artists and found some new love :}

Yuuuuuuuus! (see signature)

Pity you didn't post the review after all :(

Ah! It's a different one :pleased: Then sure I'd love to listen to it and review it. :awesome: omg Mark, you have Bibio on it :dazzled:

Eh, I don't know. I was surprised to see in Latin countries that the diary of Anne Frank was for sale in Spanish in so many bookshops. But I can also imagine that a lot of countries don't include Anne Frank as common knowledge. Of course the Netherlands is not one of those ... we had to read the book and watch the film and a tv series about it. :( I think the tweets are worse than Bieber's comment. I hope that by now they looked up who Anne Frank is; then at least Bieber has lead to some education of them.

I read the book and you're right, it's mostly 'Dear Kitty, I hate my sister! I am in love with the boy in the room and I am sooooo annoyed with my parents' I still don't know what the fuss is about Bieber's comment. How is it "disrespectful"? I can only see that it might be arrogant to be so busy with yourself and how others perceive you, but to make such a rell of it ... :(

New Wave, dream pop, symphonic rock, synths and alternative rock

Yussss, moi Caprice is my second favorite band (next to Mew - obv). Their sound is very similar, it's just what I love in music :bomb: dreamorlife, sure you can let me have a look at your tape, but if it's the same Diana reviewed, then I already know the tracklisting :/ (you also had Boy & Bear's Feeding line in your mixtape :P like I did)

I want #4 already :wacky:

OMG #3 arrived CAR KIDS CAR KIDS
