I do :p

Hi Devorah!! Got it 2 days ago, but I didn't have time to post the pic. It's suuuper awesome, I especially like the stocking and the Viva ornament that you made yourself. Great job! :wacko: Sorry for the terribile pic, it's the best my mobile phone can do. There. Also, you mentioned something about us becoming pen-pals, and I'm totally for that. I'll send you something after I return from my skiing vacation next week. Thank you very much once again and happy New Year! ;)

Heeey. I'm really sorry for the long wait! I owe you an apology. I was first busy with tests in school, and then with Christmas and stuff. Add a bit lazy too. :sweatdrop: So. My mixtape is titled "alexbb" and has a low quality pic of someone, who I'm pretty sure is Alex James on a Blur concert, as its artwork :P Let's move onto the tape: 1. The first track is a calm, 2 minutes long string quartet piece. It serves as a nice opener and a good contrast to the Christmas-shopping buzz that was going on these days. Leaves me wondering how this tape will evolve. 2. Someone picking an acoustic guitar until they find some rhythm and then the song really starts. This reminds me of Spanish-guitar a bit actually, though it's certainly not that. An english-speaking singer sings about how he's lost and wonders if there's anywhere to go. The overall athmosphere of the song is as calm as the first track, so it segues really nicely. 3. Another acoustic track, though this one is a bit more upbeat. And the singer actually sings in a foreign language, which I think is French, but as a non-speaker I can't be sure. The only word I understood was "whiskey" haha. This song actually sounds as if it would have been played in a pub in mid-last-century. I don't really listen to stuff like this, but it's enjoyable. 4. This one's different from the previous tracks, it's more of a dance rock song. It's heavy on high-pitched woo-hoo-hooos and I wanna loooove youuus. Not really a thing I would listen to, to be honest. But I wanna dance to it. I can imagine it playing in a 70s disco club. 5. Things got weirder here. There's some interesting percussion, which sounds a bit Oriental-influenced to me. There are also electronically processed vocals. I have no idea what they are singing about. I must say that I have no idea who this artist might be. 6. This is either an electronic dance track with latino percussion, or there's something wrong with my ears. It might be Kraftwerk or something krautrock. Some children's vocals appear occasionally througout the song. I can't tell if this is something modern or something from the last century that was ahead of its time. 7. Let me see you go back, back, forth, forth. Mmmmm. This always keeps playing in my head after I finish listening to this tape. And I enjoy it. This has elements of rnb, hip hop, soul and funk. It totally reminds me of that girl-group TLC. Me likes! 8. This one's more minimalistic. A female singer sings smoothly over a simple electronic drums loop and synthesized strings or whatever that is. The track doesn't really make me excited, but I'm still quite interested to know who this is. 9. Haaah haaah wuooouah haah haaah *short electric guitar solo* then RAPPING! I would never expect somebody to start rapping after that wannabe-badass guitar solo. There's another solo later in the track. I'm still relatively new to rap, but the rapping parts of this song are nice. 10. That intro! Hey I think I've heard this many times on the radio, but I have no idea who the artist is, or what the song is called. I like it though. It's an electronic track with vocals really low in the mix, repeating I could never be yours in the chorus. Who is it? 11. This is a guitar powered track with a man weeping how he's so scared and doesn't know what to do if his girl dies. :stunned: I don't know if he's so madly in love with her or if she suffers from some bad disease. And well later in the song she actually dies and the singer doesn't know what to do again and then it ends. Wow? Well I'm definetely sorry for him ;__; 12. Took me a bit to recognize this song, but it's Only Heather by Wild Nothing. I really really love it. I guess I should be listening to them a lot more. I think I listened to their latest album a few times and put it on my AOTY 2012 list, but I don't really remember the songs anymore. Thanks for reminding me of this beautiful song :heart: 13. A nice piano based song with a female French singer. She reminds me of Coeur de Pirate which one boy on tumblr made me listen to once hahaha. I could listen to more of this, who is it? 14. Another female French singer. I guess the mixtape maker really likes that language. I actually adore it too and I'd love to learn it once. It's a popular thought - but it really sounds romantic. Just like this song. This song also has a feel of an older song, and I'm pretty sure it is an old French classic. 15. A minute long track with a female opera singer singing really quietly. She doesn't sound really happy, but she sounds beautiful. Works good as an interlude. 16. An rnb/hip hop song. Reminds me a looot of Frank Ocean who I love. All I want is you, all I want is you now. Sugaaar! Now that you're goone, goone, goone. Thank you for finding me an alternative for Frank Ocean. Perfect closer and definetely my favourite on this tape. Overall, this was a nice journey through the music genres. There was classical music, rock, disco, hip hop, krautrock, rnb, soul, dream pop and heck - even opera! Despite that genre mish-mash, the whole tape felt really cohesive. Great job there. Thank you very much! :heart: Am I allowed to call this tape the musical equivalent of Alex James? :wacky: Oh and once again I'm really really sorry for this belated review, due to final tests in school before holidays, and then the Christmas holidays itselves. I can look at this tape as a cool christmas present though!

i wish i could hug you now

Here are my final lists: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5600365&postcount=11

I got my tape a bit late, right when the test storm started, so I'm very sorry for this delay of my review. Just wanted to tell you that I'm really enjoying your tape, especially the last song. And I'm pretty sure I know who you are. :P I'll post my review this week for sure :)

this. :surprised:

Actually 'Sunday' is pretty enjoyable

Mixtape friendz 4lyfe :hug: And woah it's been 2 years since MTE 11, I think :surprised:

Hi Violet! Yes, I guess I'm your eternal mixtape partner. :laugh3: I'll put my comments in red. Thank you Violet, once again, for listening and reviewing. :heart: Your taste is almost the same as mine, and I really had no idea what other thing I can make for you now. That's why I sent this tape one day late - sorry for that. Here's the photo used as the cover: And here's the tracklisting: Download link:

I wish I knew how not to love you.

Already told you that it's a great interview, Anthony! ;) Oh it's my turn already. I won't be able to do this in the next two weeks though as I've got some other stuff to do. Should Marco be the next then?

The Cyrillic script? Uhh it's a writing system. "Russian letters" lol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script /offtopic

But the worst thing might be, that people realised how easy it is to organise referendums in this country. They already collected enough votes to make the government organise a referendum against the cyrillic script. Which uses a really small minority of people who live on the Serbian border.

kaboom

It passed. Don't consider me Croatian anymore. I can't believe how people here are stupid.

Kat, Taameen, AJ and me were talking/streaming, now it's just AJ and me

Okay so now U ime obitelji removed that ad from everywhere and they're asking an apology from The xx, saying that they've never used their song. :facepalm: The referendum is tomorrow.

CH:angry:COLATE

Mine? I had no idea... until now. I saw the pic on tumblr and just liked it. But well now I googled and it's Colton Haynes apparently

I was there yesterday alone while everyone else had social life

It's really risky, that's the problem with art school. Not only they are hard, but after graduating, it's hard to live off just selling art/paintings... I'm sure that you are good at art, and that your paintings/etc are nice if it's your passion. But it's really hard to get a career as a painter/artist just like that nowadays. You may get a job as a teacher though, but that's a whole different thing and I'm not sure if you'd like it. I'm the same year in high school as you, and I have the same problem - can't decide what to do after I finish it. I would love to study history of art, but I don't want to be a teacher. I'm most likely going to end up at architecture or medicine. The good thing with art is that you can always do it as a hobby. You can take private/night school art lessons too. And maybe, if it works out for you, you can quit your boring daily job and just make art. But if your heart really beats for art, and you are ready to risk, go to art school. Sorry if this doesn't help, it's really up to you after all. I wish you all the best though. :heart: P.S. You can always marry Juan Son to make you rich and then mess with art :sombrero::sombrero:
