Thanks very much! I enjoyed the mix a lot. :nice: Gonna look a lot of these artists up now, I think.

Cooking is an awesome hobby, because it's so much cheaper than eating out. Just buy cheap food and cook it tasty and you're set! It's terrific. Plus that shit tastes gooooood

Thank'ya very much my good sir

I bet this album will be like Sgt. Pepper's in every way except for it won't be as good and also won't define an entire generation's culture :nice:

okay! so this is my second time listening through this mixtape, and overall it's quite gewd and I like it :nice: reviewing the tracks as I go. Track 1 - I really like this one. Just a guitar, but whoever's playing it really knows what they're doing, because this sounds technically really difficult, and they're doing a bunch of interesting things with this guitar -- there's a lot of stuff going on with it musically speaking, and it all works together really well and cohesively. I want to know who's playing it because they got skillzzz. I wish I could play an instrument like this. Sounds like an acoustic session or something? There's applause at the end, so that's why I assume it's from a session. Track 2 - Another live track, but this time obviously in a stadium, because the crowd's a lot rowdier (not to mention actually audible). Sounds like they're shouting "Go Biffy!" at the beginning -- is this Biffy Clyro? I've never listened to them. (Unless they're saying "Billy" or something, which would be embarrassing.) Kind of emo/punkyrock sounding? Really different from the first track. I don't like it as much but it's not bad. Track 3 - absolutely yes. Kiara by Bonobo. I love this album so much. It's so good. It's the perfect chill-out music ever and it's great and you're my fucking hero for putting this song on. I dig this song/album/artist so much. augh. you're my favorite. Jesus. Let's get married and have smart and beautiful babies with good taste in music together. Track 4 - This song is backwards. (Unless it's supposed to be like that.) I dig it. Did you make it backwards just cuz you like to listen to it that way, or is it legit supposed to sound this way? Actually hold on. I know a way to figure it out. Okay I figured it out. I played it backwards in Audacity and it sounds fucking demented and horrible, so I assume you didn't just turn a song backwards for the purposes of this mixtape, but it's a legit song. Problem resolved. I do like this song, but it's hard to critique because I don't know what's happening in it enough to say, "oh I like this part, or I liked the melody in the middle, or I liked it when the bass did that." So that's all I'm gunna say about it. Track 5 - I like it a lot and I need the album now please. The vocalist sounds pretty. Is she? I like all the little layered arpeggio bits and stuff like that, they sound cute. Must know the artist. Must know the album. Please tell. This is a really nice song (Bordering on gorgeous? I'm unsure.). Track 6 - This is a remix of a Caribou song! (But I haven't listened to Swim recently enough to place it by name -- I know it's off that album, though. It sounds like Bowls or something.) Actually, it hardly sounds like it uses enough of the song to be a remix -- it's more like it just samples the ooh's from that song and made up the rest, so maybe I should say it samples a Caribou song instead. At any rate, nice interludey track, kinda boring but whatevz whatevz. I like this one as well except for how it's a bit boring. Track 7 - Sounds like this mixtape's taking a different tack after that interlude. Peppy singer with a sort of annoying indie voice (British?). This one's all right I guess. Sounds like an Animal Collective clone so it's a little annoying in that respect. It's interesting I guess, but it feels like it's trying too hard. Not bad or anything, just eh. I probably won't really listen to it again. Track 8 - A lot more chill than the last track. Sounds like another remix maybe? Or just an electronic thing. Dunno. Nothing massively interesting going on, but it's nice to chill out to and suchlike, plus it's short enough to be acceptable. Pretty good. Track 9 - I know it's Interpol, because the singer for that band is super distinctive, but I haven't heard this song. Is it from the new album? I forgot what it was called. (I only have Antics and Turn on the Bright Lights -- I never got the latest because I've only heard eh things about it.) Nice song, kind of chill and mildly distressing at the same time. Has a different vibe from most Interpol songs -- so if it is from the new album the things I've heard about it might be wrong (I'd heard that it's all the same as their earlier work.). I dunno, Interpol's a nice band but a lot of their songs sound the same, which is why they've never been one of my favorites -- but I do like this song and it does sound different, so maybe I'll look into whichever album this is off of. He's singing in Spanish or something during part of it and I want to know what the song's called so I can look the lyrics up, lulz. Track 10 - Ok this song isn't good. I don't like the guy's voice. He sounds dumm. This is pretty much just boring guitar rock. Borey bore bore bore borey bore. <-- That's my reaction to it. But it's cool cuz a lot of the rest of this tape is guuuuddd. So this one falling flat is fine. (Plus it's short, which I like about it.) Also, okay it's catchy, especially the part about carrying me home and chasing this pain from my window/door, and etc, but still, it isn't really to my taste. Track 11 - Oh yeah. Oh yes. Oh affirmative. You're fine. This tape's still gewd. Help I'm Alive by Metric and you're all good in the neighborhood. I approve of this tape again. I have a feeling I don't know you at all, tape-maker, or you might know how much I like Metric (a lot). But it's all good, because I'll meet you soon! And then we'll be best friends!! Track 12 - OH GOD IT ISN'T IN 4/4!! Holy shit! I don't like this song but at least it's in 3/4. (I deeply respect songs that aren't in 4/4 just on principle.) So I don't like this song, but it has my respect. It isn't good or anything, I just respect it. Also, lol at the violins near the end, they're super over-the-top. I just gotta keep telling myself it's in 3/4 though and everything will stay acceptable. Track 13 - Well herpy derp, of course I like this song. Track 14 - Another singer with an accent. This song is kind of boring, but still catchy. Sorta indie and annoying. It isn't terrible, just not especially creative. (It just feels like another guitar-rock song, which means I don't like it.) Talking about how he loves someone but she doesn't love him back - original! There are guitars - original! it's in 4/4 - original! Accent on the second and fourth beats - original!!! stuff like that. I'm hard to please when it comes to guitar-rock. Don't take it personally. Track 15 - And of course I like this one as well. Doesn't make as much sense as it might coming after the last track it did, but nice way to close out a mixtape. (Their first album is better :phu:) I get the feeling that whoever made this might be a noob or they might know more about my taste (see: putting Radiohead and Metric in, which I'm defdefs a fan of and if you've been around forever or whatever you'd probably know) (Not that I'm saying they really should have known more or whatever, because this tape is awesome as it is) but if they are a noob (or just someone here I don't really know, or something) they must be a noob/person I don't know that I want to be friends with, because they got good taste, on the whole. I enjoyed the middle of the tape the most, but overall it was a solid mix.

^haha, fa sho, I mean, that's why I hate math :blank:

^Amen. Alcohol is so much worse than pot.

Listening to the stuff on bandcamp. I like it so far, and also the songs are reasonably varied (as opposed to all sounding the same). Pretty quality stuff.

Talking about the effects drugs have on people doesn't do anything but make them want to try it more. Unless you're talking about the bad things it does to your body like lung cancer or whatever, and not the kind of high you get. Most people still care more about the high they'll get than the long-term effect, though. Except meth, because the main effect is that it makes your fucking organs melt from the inside out; most regular people want to stay away from it after they hear that.

There are lots of shitty bands that I like the hit singles from and stuff like that. But I would never ever say I like the band. I think it should be, like, over half of the songs by them that you've listened to, before you say you like them. Especially if you've heard more than one album. And you shouldn't count just hits and stuff, because a lot of the time the hits are good but the rest of their work is shit.

Pot isn't that bad. Just don't take it like all the time or you won't be able to remember shit.

NOTHING BBY LIVE LIFE WIT NO REGRETZ~~~

I haven't finished listening to my mixtape yet but I have to say I have some super really positive things to say about it. I like nearly all of it so far.

Ugh, I feel terrible because this always seems to happen during mixtape exchanges, but I just got home and it'll take me a while to get my mixtape uploaded. I should be able to have it in by tonight, Violet, so it'll only be a few hours late (unless something bad happens), but still. I'm sorry. I've got to re-label songs and .rar them and upload them and all that jazz so I bet it'll take another hour :/

penis

Do you actually need pills to sleep? That's terrible :sad: Please please please just take a mental health weekend or something like that. Pleaseeee :sad:

That sucks. Please take a vacation. :sad:

love is nice

Eddie, if you ever get me as a partner, I want straight-up hxc gangster rap pl0x

As always, I don't care what's on my mixtape, as long as it's good.

You know what would have been a good idea? Just copy-and-paste the rest of the story before adding your new word, so that you could read the story if you were joining in, or just creeping, or whatever. Because I toyed with the idea of reading all of this but then decided against it just because of the poor administrative decisions behind this story.

That sucks so much. I love you all both and good luck. The good thing about your all's relationship is that you've always been able to keep it working even with the huge distance separating the two of you (which I really admire and probably couldn't do myself) -- I'm sure that you'll keep loving one another and make everything work in spite of the physical hardships keeping the two of you apart. You all still love each other and ultimately that's what matters the most, non? (I'm really sorry if I sound stuck-up or preachy or whatever saying this to you because I do realize how terrible it is to not be able to see each other -- but on the bright side like I've been saying you all are both really good at making long-distance relationships work.) But it's still fucking terrible that her family would do this to you both. Especially if it's because they suspect your relationship and that's why. Are they homophobic or just disapproving of their own daughter being in a relationship with you? (Some parents I've met aren't strictly homophobic, just are in the case of their own children.)

Hahaha Reilly where the hell did you find that pic? I'm in lesbians with it.

Thanks, Violet :nice: I'm glad this is during the summer because if I only had a week to make my mixtape during the school year things would be different. But I know I'll have enough time to make one right now.
