Making a mixtape to impress a girl

Jesus_Quintana [Edit] [Delete] 52 replies 03:07, 10 July '05

Yes, I'm that sad

I need some help though

This is what I've got so far (I'm trying to keep it happy and light-ish, and both impress her with my fabulous music taste whilst not scaring her off with cheesy-ness or Mark E Smith. Here Comes Your Man is not allowed for the former reason):

Blister In The Sun - Violent Femmes
Venus In Furs - Velvets (that's quite pervy but meh)
Roots Manuva - Witness The Fitness
Ween - Push Th’ Little Daisies
Eels - I Like Birds
Devendra Banhart - At The Hop
Rufus Wainwright - Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk
Pavement - Cut Your Hair (or Range Life, I'm not sure if she's a Smashing Pumpkins fan so I don't want to offend her...)

I'm thinking you guys can help.

Hah, why? (aside from the Velvets)

Re: Making a mixtape to impress a girl

I always find Anal Cunt's 'You're Pregnant So I Kicked You In The Stomach to be something quite special.

In all seriousness though, I'd go for Rufus Wainwright's 'Vibrate' over the track you've chosen. Chuck in My Bloody Valentine - 'Sometimes' though and I'm yours.

  Prolapse - 'Tina This Is Matthew Stone'. You'll be in there no problems.

Re: Making a mixtape to impress a girl

Your reasons are shallow and flawed, but as I once did this myself, for the same reasons, I shall humour you! I only hope shes a hot indie chick, and that you get some. I didn't :( Some of the songs on mine:

Bluetones - Autophilia
Brendan Benson - Tiny Spark
something by flaming lips
Help She Can't Swim - I Don't Need You (I have no idea why, but its ace)
Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart (because I love to drop one awful cheesebomb in every compilation I make)
Fell City Girl - Weaker Light

If you're going to suggest that my selections are the reason I didn't get any, try harder! That's too obvious!

  Oh I'm already "in there" (I think) so it's not gonna be a sad, "I made this for you" kinda thing, I already told her I'd make her one.
  
  But yes, it's still sad.

      fit 'Frankie Teardrop' by Suicide in there somewhere too, so beautiful. Directly after the Prolapse track might be best.

        And 'Odorous yellow/green vaginal discharge' by shat. You know, to get the juices flowing.
        
        Also, Funky Guy by Trans AM
        HOmosexual by the Soft Pink Truth
        Prayer to God - Shellac
        Albino Slug - Scratch Acid
        
        All beautiful songs.

        (I'm a girl). sooo, i would say Roots Manuva's 'dreamy days' rather than 'witness the fitness'. and some pavement's always good.

        BUt girls are just biased. While you are trying to suggest something a girl would like, we are trying to suggest what a girl should like. Therefore your opinion is null and void. So ner.

        ^^grrr. i do love hearing music i've not heard before, but are you trying to 'educate' the girl you like, as if she has no good taste herself? or just share some good music with her? i guess it depends what you want the mix-tape to achieve. the roots manuva thing was just a suggestion, bucky.

        Educate. Because girls have bad taste.

        That's just nuts. Shellac rule.
        
        Actually, a Prayer to God would be a particularly inspired choice! :-D

        Hmmmm never noticed the perviness of Venus in Furs. With a re-listen its there, but meh, still good.
        You should add in You're Just a Baby- B&S or Carrion BSP.
        I Like Birds is good, you'd win me with the one, especially if she's never heard it.

        I think the Ween song is too creepy. It's those imitation children's vocals. The first few songs off 'white pepper' would be good though. 'Exactly where i'm at' or bananas and blow'.
        
        A bit of Super Furry Animals might be good too. 'Hello Sunshine' is good for the 'you're a minger, i'm a minger too' bit. Whether that would go down well I don't know. 'Northern Lites' maybe?

        Witness the Fitness? I Like Birds?
        
        i think your subconscious in selecting the tracks here.
        
        fact is, if you do start going out with her, she'll wonder why you listen to the fall so much when it wasn't on her mixtape.

        Re: Making a mixtape to impress a girl
        
        You should put the following on it
        
        'She's a girl' by The Attraction
        'Hey baby' by Chia Pet
        'In every dream home a heartache' by Roxy Music
        
        surely if you're a Fall fan then 'Bill Is Dead' should be on there
        
        and maybe 'Love in the Country' by Vanilla Fudge if you met in the countryside
        -
        
        'Permafrost' by Magazine*
        
        *if you want her to think you're psychotic - main lyric;'I will drug you and fuck you/on the permafrost' - oh hell yeah

        I think the Ween song you really need is 'Baby Bitch'.

        Re: Making a mixtape to impress a girl
        
        Erm, good advice
        
        Witness the Fitness is amusing, Dreamy Days starts out alright but it ends up about the destruction of a relationship ffs doesn't it? It's the worst possible song I could pick! Though I did think about it.
        
        'I like birds' is cute.
        
        True about the Ween creepiness, but I think I'll keep it.

        fuck, someone mentioned vanilla fudge - thats a DiS first surely?!?!
        
        and surely if you actually want her to listen to it, y'know, in public, and when other people could, y'know,. overhear what she's listening to - you'd wanna leave the vanilla fudge out?
        
        but hey, respect for even suggesting vanilla fudge dude.

        about Dreamy Days- No, it doesn't!! hang on, i'll listen to it again, and get back to you. shit. i hate being wrong!
        
        i dunno, all i remember is the line "there's gonna be fun and lots of laaaarfter". and that it's quite sweet, overall. not listened to the album in a while.
        
        ok, in case i'm wrong, try mogwai's 'take me somewhere nice', or radiohead's 'optimistic'. or weezer's 'falling for you'.

        I always put Why? - Early Whitney on. I mean, he sings: "You're so sensitive / you can feel a single hair curling while you're sleeping". It's just a really pretty song.

        Im a girl and Rufus would always score points (although I love love love him).
        "the one I love" is probably a good choice.It is not his best song but its so catchy its unreal.
        
        Some Peaches would be great too,depending on how easily she is shocked too." fuck the pain away" is a good tune.

        Ahh how I love the Ladies Special Mix tape, I made one six years ago for a girl I met at a Mansun gig and I'm still with her. Even I know that's cute!
        
        Eels and Rufus is a great idea, but perhaps Crumb by Crumb or Oh What a World.
