What is this about?

^ aw no, I think I understand you. My tape got reviewed (:awesome:) and still I feel wronged because my original partner did not let me know why she just gave up on the whole thing. I just wished she hadn't signed up because I spend so much energy on making the tape for her; I mixed/edited the songs myself and made a cover and tried to make a tape that would suit her and then I get nothing in return. Not even a post here, saying that due to circumstances she backs down. Urgh. But your situation is even worse. You did not get a review of your tape :( If it will be of any help, I like to volunteer to review the tape and others might do as well. Or is that what you talked about when you said you have a review from Deirdre? Usually after a while, when people haven't gotten a review and we haven't heard of the reviewer for a while, the mixtapes are given to others who sure will review and within a decent time. I also agree with you that Final Track (William?) and some others showed the right way of dealing with unexpected delay. It's really assuring to know that at least the review will come. Also I never had any doubt he would come up with a review, The Final Track has always been a good participator. Oh, and good tape there! Susanne Sundfør :dazzled:

though the e-mail says it's #1 :laugh1:

wtf :laugh3: MorningGlory, she said 'Goop-step' which is probably a reference to being heavily influenced by Gwyneth, à la Y. Ono - like UdaPruda said :D Goop influenced and all Mark, you said right there what I was wondering as well.

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds was mentioned before. I agreeeee Oo, and I heard The Knife, that one is pretty good too These are all 2012, non?

Okay, this is why you started about comets in the Lounge ... Weird metaphore. meteoric rise. Meteors only crash down, not up :thinking:

thanks! (no thank button so I do it this way :D)

dreamorlife, don’t worry, I always thought the singer of Beach House was male too. :D It was so weird to find out like after a year that it was a female :scared: Violet, what an amazing idea for a mixtape!!!

Yaaaaj! Even though bounched back, it makes me glad to hear that the scrapbook didn't get lost! Viva la Coldplay and Chloe_Martin are also from Australia, so after four people in Europe it might happen! (depends on who from Europe is willing to send it all the way to Autralia) It won't go to US after Australia. I was thinking of giving it a mid-stop in Azia (Indonesia) and then have it back in Europe (France or Greece).

Yeah, you're right Kat. Too much Jonas Bjerre I guess, hahaha! I'll put comments in your post in Cyan :D Me, me? The tracklisting is: 1. Thirteen Senses - Crystal Sounds 2. múm - Moon Pulls 3. Violens - It Couldn't Be Perceived 4. Boy & Bear - Feeding Line 5. Mew - Like Paper Cuts 6. moi Caprice - To The Lighthouse Flashing Red Rabbits Oh No! = 7. The Shins - Red Rabbits 8. Oh No Ono - Swim 9. The Boxer Rebellion - Flashing Red Light Means Go One For The Nightfall = 10. a-ha - How Sweet It Was 11. Mew - Saviours of Jazz Ballet 12. The Rumour Said Fire - Sanctuary 13. Foals - Stepson We Sit and We Sigh = 14. Bloc Party - Compliments hidden track: Brian Eno's Emerald and Lime Thank you for listening. I am glad the mixtape got taken care of by someone. Thank you for the review. You were so fast :blush: If you want I can also send you the whole songs, because some are cropped quite a bit in this mixtape.

Fraaaaaan! Those pages will certainly do :D I think the photograph of them looks nice, we get a good idea of the pages. I love that national park with the waterfalls. My sister and friends have been there and they all say it's amazing. I want to visit it once as well. Oh, and your avatar reminds me of Howard's moving castle. Where did it originate from? How did you guys come up with it? That's actually true

Pity that the tracklisting is missing. Would it help if I reupload it and that you can have a listen to it? I can also google lyrics, that would probably help me out with most songs, like Red Eye Miami. That one wasn't hard to find out. But the Japanese songs .... no idea. You must know which Japanese girls you put up there, right? Probably your avatar? Oh, if you made it the previous round, then it's pretty funny it suited me well as well! You don't hear me complaining about it :D Random, but oh weird that some of the songs I added to the mixtape, also turned out to be chosen by others for theirs. Can't say more, because it would spoil which tape I made :\ (if that isn't obvious this time anyway, I think it is) randomnessss oh and I like the CREEPY GERMAN band as well, but didn't that one :P [edit] random banner popped up on the forum with azian girls, if I want to date some .... awkward

More than a month ... I am afraid we lost it again :(

Yuuuuuuus! Someone else who listens to moi Caprice! AAAAAAAAH :awesome: What happened with Crests? She didn't post anymore a bit after signing up for the mixtape exchange :S Anyway, I am happy she decided to join this time. I have a lot of fun with the mixtape and glad to find out about some new artists that are of my liking. If she doesn't show up in this thread, I will see the tracklist anyway, right? (I am sooo assuming it is Crests who made my mixtape, hahaha)

That was in the beginning. Of course people didn't like it that their mixtape would go to another person than the one it was intented for. I really tried to make it up to the person and I am quite sure some others wouldn't appreciate the tape. But seeing as the receiver hasn't let anything know I am afraid my tape is one of these that didn't go to the receiver :( If just people would let know that they received it ... that would already enlighten us a bit. Hearing that a review is coming up soon like here above is even better, no great! coldlocked, I miss of many of your mixtape songs the title. Would you like to provide us with the tracklisting? I am curious, like if that Simple Minds song is the one that I totally love of him (god, he is creepy, eh?) and which Beegees song you used, because I listen to Beegees as well :}

I don't think I saw The Mary Onettes come by on here. Their Hit The Waves is pretty awesome! It's like a lost album of The Cure's from the 80's where they drew a lot of influence from a-ha, Duran Duran and the Simple Minds to Cocteau Twins and Clannad, with their new wave and I can't help but see a pale guy with eyeliner looking like Robert Smith surfing in a tropical paradise. Paradox? I don't care, I love the album.

:bomb: yes! Now that song is better than their whole last album. They are back in the way I love it! So much good music this year in prospect.

I had that with Beach House as well, it took me years before I started listening to their albums. But after some spins I got totally hooked! Too bad about The Rumour Said Fire, I actually agree about the voice on this song, for me it's one of their weakest songs overall. I think they tried too much to have the old style on the new album and it's a pity because I looove what they did with the new album. Maybe their will change your mind :P Thanks! That link worked :} The last three mediafire links didn't :( Permission denied. Crests! Hahaha Tammi, I would love to hear which songs were on the mixtape, also that Japanse happening :bomb: Ohhh too bad! I thought all mixtapes were sent to you. Such a pity. Have those people been online on coldplaying at all these days? Should we then send those three mixtapes to the people that did not get any yet?

I got a permission denied as well :( Jessie Ware is good pop ah and thanks people that let us know why the mixtape reviewing takes as long as it does, it's nice to hear that people are listening to it and a review is in the make :awesome:

He posted that already in 2009 on his website, so I think not. Jim, what is your idea behind this thread? You want to gather info about comets or want comments on your blog post? ?

Got issue 2! :D

OMG, fuck I love seafood

Okay, mixtape review time! I got the link a tiny bit later for whatever reason, but it was definitely worth the wait. I've got the idea that this person really tried to take into mind what kind of songs would suit me / what I would appreciate, and if not, well then it's a major coincidence that it fits. It is a solid tape that I enjoy listening to in it's whole. The album has a nice collection of different genres on it and still manages to reflect what the mixtape maker likes herself (if I am guessing correct). Some parts of it did not suit me, but I think it's just because I am not really a punk person. I hear some ska-punk, or at least punk with trumpets in different tracks, which I think is what the mixtape maker likes to listen to a lot? I am not a fan of it myself, but I can already say that for example with track 07, you found a song for me that is in a genre I generally don't like, but I still enjoy that particular song very much. The album art still shows up for some of the songs, but that didn't bother me, because when I play the list in winamp I can't see it, hahaha. Thank you for making the tape!!!! I am curious about some artists and would love to find out who they are so I can hear mooooore! Okay, now a review per song: 01 Trumpets. Then gitars that sound like punk. Weird combo, the trumpets and the rock. Is this ska-punk?, though this one band sounds better/more original due to instrument choice; I can't really imagine an orkest of trumpets in one of those bands. It also sounds a bit like 30 Seconds To Mars, but more 'tame'. Bridge with piano, then again the guitars with trumpets. I like the way the guy sings, he doesn't sing like people in those garage/punk bands, but the trumpets/ska sounds out of place in this song. I am mwe, mwa about it. It has potential, I am just wondering if they also have this overload of trumpets in their other songs :S 02 Synths! :D Double vocals. The music sounds not so well produced :( It sounds like someone used one of these music programs to compose; easy and simpel. It does not impress me. 03 Your typical rockband? Sounds like an old band, 90's? The backing vocals sound like Lenny Kravitz. Hahaha, that bridge, the begin sounds like David Bowie's distortions used in the soundtrack of The Labyrinth, I like that! 04 Some funkyness, then a beat comes in and I hear singing ... in Japanese? Yeah, I'm sure it's Japanese. I would say Crests made this tape, after hearing the rest my suspicion only got stronger ;) This song is interesting; a spanish guitar after the verse, such a mixture of styles. After the chorus an electric guitar gets played like they think they are Santana, hahaha! Just to get back to the Latin theme again. Definitely nteresting. I wouldn't mind hearing more from this/these artist(s), I like this kind of crazyness in music! 05 Straight on pop/rock band like The Shins. I like it! I am wondering if I know this band, at least I don't know this song. Please enlighten me. 06 More rock, faster like the last song, it sounds like Arctic Monkeys, but it it's them. I like it, especially the lyrics. 07 This is another song in line of the 01 type. More rough punk rock band sound, and this time mixed with some raggae, that's really weird :S I think it sounds a bit misplaced in this song to add raggae elements in here. But the good thing from this is that the change to the chorus gets nice, because you add in a contrast from laid-back to punk-fast. Also there is a contrast between the lyrics and the music underlying the verse, because the music sounds chill but the lyrics are about war and faith. I like the music kicking in when the chorus starts. I also like the lyrics, like 'saving the world while the world is saved' seems to point at the useless of war, but they also have some absurd things in it like a ninja and venom for your 20 dollar bill?? In addition, I think I hear some christian elements as well. I've got the feeling this is one the mixtape own favorite songs. I am not a fan of punk/christian rock so the chorus gets a bit lost. But you managed to find a song in a genre that probably doesn't fit me, that I do like. 08 Starts with a simple toy piano. Then we get strings, low back in an alternative folky way and a voice that sounds very familiar ... aaaah it's Devotchka, right? I used to listen to them a while ago, but haven't for years. Nice track! I especially like the combination of the simle toy piano and a whole orchestra behind the guy. Maybe I should pick up listening to Devotchka again :) 09 More punk? This time a duet. I don't like the guy's singing :( Punk is not really my thing, sorry :( I always feel like people start a punk band because they can't sing and can hide it that way. It is an okayish song, but not interesting enough for me to look after more stuff of them. 10 The start of the song makes me immediately think 'oh no, not again punk'. Than the trumpets come in, ska punk again? Unlike in track 01 the way this guy sings is really not what I like. And the lyrics ... wasn't this song already written by Avril Lavine once? I get a big Greenday vibe here and that's not a good thing. Sounds like Sublime? Sorry, this doesn't fit me. 11 Ahhhh, a relief to hear a bunch of guitars playing oldfashion rock. The quality of the song is not that good; it sounds like a low quality youtube rip. Too bad, I would have liked to hear this in high quality. Sure, you'll give the name of the song so I can look it up and listen to it in better quality? ;) Nice song. It reminds me of Franz Ferdinand. Cute guitars. 12 And then a big surprise by going completely electronic. And how!!! The Knife! I recognize this immediately hahaha, I looove this song!!! it is my favorite by them: Marble House UUHHH OMG The song is electronic but they know to make a beautiful balad out of it. The videoclip is very cute as well. A nice change in genre on the tape :) The Knife is sooo cool, this is a good reminder of why I am looking forward to their new album of this year. :D I LOVE THIS SONG 13 Good start of the song, a bit of shoegaze feeling. When the voice comes in I know this must be the Smashing Pumpkins. The voice of Billy Corgan is so typical. I don't know this song of them, but I absolutely love it! The album must be Adore (artwork attached gives it away :P). I will get the album, this is a lovely song and I never listened to the album :( 14 I got this band on a previous mixtape as well, it was then Funeral, a song of them I love very much. Their last album was completely boring to me though and I haven't changed my mind over this. This song sounds better than any of the songs on their last album. Pity. It is short and the chorus is only a Coldplay-like 'oh-oh-oh-oh' ? Oh well, the song sounds typical Band Of Horses, too bad they lost this sound on their latest album. 15 The Cure. I got this band on my previous mixtape as well, hahaha. I like the band and this song. What can I say more? :) I love the Cure, the way they use the guitars, ohhh. This makes me tick, like track 13 :} 16 Again Japanese? Is this the same band as #04? The song sounds 80's, no even like a Japanse ABBA, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is much much more recent. It's a bit strange and the accompaning synth strings annoy me a bit because they just play the same melody along, but when you get past the strange part, it is an interesting track. The piano singing combo of them really reminds me of ABBA, but that's not a bad thing ;) I am serious when I say that looove ABBA's Lay All Your Love On Me. If this is the same band/girl as in song 4 then it's funny to see that the music style is so different from track 04. Tnspieler1012, I tried to download your mixtape, but it says it's deleted? Were others able to download it?

AAAAAAAH, so they messing up, eh? I got the e-mail they would be sent both in a package, but got only #1. but I did not get that other e-mail that valypan showed. I want #2 :(
