My head just went *boom* with your answer :D You can't imagine how interested I am now in finding out the lyrics and listen to it again with that theme in mind. That is a seriously awesome idea, not to mention how difficult is to capture "life" :) And it seems a mixtape for me without a David Bowie track that I don't really get is not a mixtape.

Here is my review of my mixtape: Overall there some quite interesting things in here (really intrigued by 2,3,11 and 6, just because it is so weird), but for the next time I’d just wish for some fewer acoustic guitars :D But still a big thank you for every bit of time and effort you put in here, the first good Christmas present this year :) And here is my answer to Jonny and the cakes review of my mixtape: I'm in love with whoever made my mixtape, really loved the album covers and the note you left me! Thanks :) Enjoyed it! And sorry if my music taste scared you!! Ahahah Glad you liked it. Seems like there was actually something interesting for you in there, quite happy how it turned out. :) Tracklist: 01 - Mount Kimbie - Home Recording 02 - The 1974 - Chocolate 03 - Bonobo - Emkay 04 - Fatoumata Diawara - Sowa 05 - Modest Mouse - Dramamine 06 - Gregory Porter - Hey Laura 07 - Gold Panda - Marriage 08 - Portugal. The Man - Modern Jesus 09 - Melt Yourself Down - Fix My Life 10 - Kurt Vile - Wakin On A Pretty Day 11 - Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band - Improvisation 12 - Everything Everything - Choice Mountain 13 - Sting - Soul Cake 14 - Ghostpoet - Comatose 15 - Bloc Party - Team A 16 - Smith & Burrows - Rosslyn

Just seeing e.s.t. on a mixtape alone makes it worth checking out.

So Jonny and the cake, I was your mixtape maker. I'm going to write a proper answer when I have the time (hopefully tomorrow), but a shout out for putting Radiohead, Foals and Jon Hopkins on your tape. I knew that could work. I've also gotten my tape and already given it a first spin, teaser: I quite like it :) PS: you guessed the Christmas track right :D

I'd kill anybody that forces me to download a FLAC mixtape with like 1GB of files (I exaggerate, but still a valid point) :D Don't think that could be a problem, only if virtually everyone else would use MP3 and you were the only Apple guy. But that seems unlikely.

I mean, that's it. Just gonna second that motion.

For anyone trying to figure out what to put on my mixtape, here could be some hints: http://www.last.fm/user/wellthatsmusic Just do what you think represents you in a way I might enjoy. Open for anything :)

After missing out on the summer one, I'm definitely up for this one. In :)

If they want to avoid shitty moderator embarrassing themselves by not even looking up the proper spelling of the band you are supposed to announce, they shouldn't invent a new word this time :D But it's either more literal, like really roots style or something out of their imagination which (at least for me, don't know if anyone here has more psychic powers than me) seems unpredictable.

Gregory Porter - Liquid Spirit nothing revolutionary, just an amazing voice with great songs.

I have challenged myself which was really rewarding. I have met amazing people whereas I didn't think there were (a) any nice people (b) I'd never talk to them. I have learned about electronic music. I listened to virtually nothing at the beginning of this year, and since then have gone on the most amazing journey through a virtual jungle, discovering lots of sounds I didn't know before and now are part of me. I've come to be more real and my actual myself when with others. Really great.

Coldplay, the Weeknd, The National, Lorde, Ellie Goulding and Santigold? That looks really interesting.

If they were going acoustic, they wouldn't have put that fat sound on Will's snare. Seems more like more experimentation soundwise and a musically not so "full" as perhaps VLV. So sparse, but not sounding sparse. Which is good and bad for performing live.

Prediction time! 1) How many tracks will LP6 have? 12, just because it is an even number 2) How long will LP6 be? around 45 min, just because it also has something symmetrical to it. 3) Assuming it will be released in 2014, which month will it be released? August. Enough time for promotion before, with a new single for the summer, appearances at festivals etc. 4) Guess the new look. What will LP6 era costumes look like? Space suits. With sparkly golden glitter on them. :D More realistically, I think it's a bit of back to the roots. They have done VLVODAAHF which was sort of a concept album and expaned on that with MX, they are probably like "just make some music, without costumes, cartoons and paintings". Or they continue there, take all the things they already have further. Possibly MX 2? Open for that 5) Where do you think LP6 will land within the broad spectrum of music genres/styles? (Pop, acoustic, straightforward rock, strings, heavy synths, hard rock.... etc.) See above, nothing revolutionary I think. Either a bit less ambitious, or a continuation of MX.

Agh, missing the deadline by three days is the probably the most annoying thing that has happend to me in like 2 months or so :( (bad karma from too few visits to the forum lately :D) So if anyone doesn't get a mixtape (which sadly still seems to happen to often) I'm happy to jump in :) Have fun you all ;)
