Mix tapes

[Black Sunday]

Most of us make mix tapes or burn CD's of various artists of our favorite tunes.

So, to get a better understanding of your musical tastes I was wondering what the best mix tape you ever made had on it......and yes, mix CDR's also count. Doesn't matter if you made it, your boyfriend made it for you, you stole it from your best friends sisters neighbors kids when you were 12 years old. I want the details on what the tape/CD has on it.

Wow....this is gonna take me back a real long way.

First mix tape I got my hands on was one that a friend of mine (who was about 7 years older than me) gave me my sophmore year of high school that had been given to her when she had been in high school.

I don't remember the exact tract listing, but it included:

Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen

Men Without Hats - Pop Goes the World

Dead Milkmen - Right Wing Pigeons From Outer Space

Duran Duran - Wild Boys

Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant

Dead Milkmen - Bitchin' Camero

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Spellbound

Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me 'Round

Men Without Hats - Safety Dance

Suicidal Tendencies - I Saw Your Mommy

Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio

good stuff bav.

My best so far was in 2001.

I borrowed my friend's entire CD collection and listened to about 50 CD's that night and noted which songs I liked. Those songs ended up opening me to alot of other music I listen to now. I still listen to this mix in the car all the time.

1) apoptygma bezerk - kathy's song

2) covenant - like tears in rain

3) hooverphonic - shake the disease

4) hideous input - i am not alive

5) joy electric - sugar rush

6) de/vision - blue moon

7) radio free america - girlfriend for a day

8) computorgirl - (drawing a blank on the name of the song)

9) melotron - auf der suche

10) somebody (forget) featuring peter hebner - glasgarten

11) leihodorous - (again, i am drawing a blank on the name of the song)

12) nueroactive - as if we didn't know

that mix cd got played so much I had to burn more copies of it as a backup in case I messed it up.

That mix got me to exploring deeper and deeper into synthpop until I found more and more stuff I like and thanks to the internet I find even more obscure synthpop.......

I make CDs to listen to at work. I work retail and in the backroom, so they permit music as long as it's not vulgar and with the understanding that it's a privalege and not a right. We have a lot of musical tastes in our backroom so I try to make CDs so that even if you don't like what's currently playing, you'll probably like what comes up next.

I don't have my CDRs right here in front of me so I'm going off memory, but offhand:

Black Flag - Rise Above

Evil Nine ft. Aesop Rock - Crooked

Husker Du - Don't Want to Know If You're Lonely

Henry Rollins & The Hard Ons - Let There Be Rock (AC/DC cover)

Iron Maiden - Prodigal Son

Radiohead - Creep

Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK

Seether ft. Amy Lee - Broken

Korn - Freak on a Leash

Interpol - C'mere

Limp Bizkit - My Way (DJ Lethal Remix)

A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It

Cake - Friend is a Four Lettered Word

Chemical Brothers - Get Yourself High

Evanescence - Haunted

Everlast - You Might Know What It's Like

Eskobar - Violence

John Legend - Used to Love You (aka Used 2 love u)

KMFDM - Mortal Kombat Theme

Rob Zombie - Brick House

DMX - Up In Here

Pantera - Walk

House of Pain - Jump Around

Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt

Voodoo & Serano (Blade 2 House of Pain Rave) - Blood is Pumpin' (Pumpin' Club Mix)

Limp Bizkit - Rollin' (DJ Monk vs The Track Remix)

I know, I know, most is not Goth, it's not a lot of things. But this is some of the music I enjoy the most.
