DiStape Club - March edition

brainfeedr [Edit] [Delete] 81 replies 23:12 March 3rd, 2013

Who's in this month? If you could send me your email addresses that'd be lovely - I'll work out this mail-merging malarkey hopefully. You don't need to send your postal address because I have that already.

Theme suggestions? I'm thinking religion might be good what with Easter coming up and everything.

Yes please.

Fine with the theme (although I think anyone who includes Easter by Marillion should be banned from DiS for life)

I'm happy with that theme, and it'll not be a major research project like my World Music mix has turned out to be.

H-Stein | 4 Mar '13, 13:53 | X | ^ This | Reply
I moved house recently, so will send you my new address.

If any old mixes go to my old address it's ok, as it's my parents house.

Yeah religion sounds like a good one actually!

Despite only receiving 1 mix, I'm still in for doing this. Be nice to have more feedback from people (nowheresnigh liked my Space one though!)

- I've been enjoying the world music mix a lot!
  
  Sorry, I would have left a note last week but I've been working hard on my own belated world mix. (veridisjoe I should get it in the post by the end of the week.)
  
  I especially enjoyed Alec Empire, Puffy AmiYumi, Hi-Standard and Kvelertak. I reckon the Rodeo Idiot Engine track is my favorite so far. Meaty.
  The only track I'd heard before was Falco so it was all good really. The facts sheet was great too, Thanks!

  - No probs. :)
    
    Glad you like it! I got sent the Rodeo Idiot Engine album to review by a metal site I used to write for. Absolute chaos that album, it's so abrasive and insane. Thought I should spread their terror. I apologise for putting Rock Me Amadeus on that. :D

Though I still need to send a mix which I've fallen a bit behind on, hope I can still play.

Hell yes.

I'm in. I am going to start putting my World Mix together tonight.

I like the theme too, might force myself to try something different to what my gut reaction tells me to do.

Will pm you my email. If you can figure out the mail merging you will be a happy man

GoatmeatMF | 4 Mar '13, 14:17 | X | ^ This | Reply
- My gut reaction won out
  
  I've already done it. Religion mix poured straight out of me when I was intending on doing the World mix. Totally changed what I am doing now, but it's all laid out ready for assembly.

and h-stein, your world mix is finally on cd after some technical difficulties with my stupid laptop. apologies for the delay. in the post (for real this time) tomorrow.

I'm going to have to pull out

Too far behind already. I'm just going to honor my committments. May join in again when less busy. Can't get organise right now, booo.

Think I'm gonna sit this one out

I've really enjoyed making the four I've made, and there's been some really great stuff on the two I've got back, but I seem to be manically busy at the moment and I don't wanna turn this into something that feels like a chore. Maybe in a month or two.

Didn't do last month's

Sorry to whoever my partner was. To be honest the theme completely put me off. I don't know where all the people I listen to come from, and who cares if I mainly listen to UK/US artists? I wasn't happy about making a substandard mix that my heart wasn't in.

I think I'm taking this too srsly. I don't know if I'm ready to be back in yet.

- I've sort of had the opposite problem
  
  Didn't particularly like the world theme either so I got inventive and it's ended up taking over my evenings for the past couple of weeks. Too far gone to stop now though!

  World was far to open ended. Normally I add a sub title or another element to limit myself, this one inspiration was lacking.

    Enjoying it a lot. My recipient will be happy to hear I have not gone for the Finnish Black Metal mix I was intending. The sub-theme I have ended up with goes off topic occasionally, but that's o.k.
    
    I put my Nature mix up on Soundcloud if anyone's interested. Might not do this every time, but probably will for the next couple - world and religion.

    - That's sort of my point
      
      I don't care what country the people that make the music I listen to come from. If that happens to be local then what's wrong with that? I could make a mixtape that was hours long of music that was made by people from Manchester and not include fucking Oasis or the Stone Roses or the Smiths because I live in Manchester so I'm going to be more exposed to music that's made in Manchester. I don't think that's a problem to the extent that I should go out of my way to figure out where everything I listen to is from. Maybe I should have just sent my partner a copy of the Razika album, that's great and they totally don't sing in English the whole time so I'm pretty confident they're not from the UK or US

      - actually
        
        I was going to suggest a Home Town Mix as a theme.
        
        I think it would be nice. Some of us would find it really easy, other people might draw a total blank. They could just pick a town.

    - Fair enough if you don't want to do it you obviously don't have to but you should really consider other people. It's just a bit douchey to effectively say you were too lazy to message me telling me you weren't doing it and now the person you were paired up with is in all likelihood not going to get a mixtape.
      
      brainfeedr @andyvine | 8 Mar '13, 11:53 | X | ^ This | Reply
      - Yeah that's fair enough
        
        I didn't actually receive a mixtape myself so I'd forgotten about it until this thread popped up, in all honesty
        
        andyvine @brainfeedr | 12 Mar '13, 16:47 | X | ^ This | Reply
    - I like it
      
      I like to know where people are from, it's interesting. For example, AMDISCS - witchy-housey electronics label is based in Prague and they put out a load of European music from weird places that you would just assume is American, but is not. Maybe you don't care, but I like to think that there's some hyper-glo pop techno being made in a Romanian village. It gives it context.
      
      I am also very anal about my folder naming - I think it comes from listening to a lot of Metal where there's a lot of similar named bands. I put the country in brackets after the artists name. I do this for everyone so all I have to do is search for Greece and I get all the Greek music in my library.
      
      Maybe shouldn't admit such tragically fastidious filing habits in public.

      It looks dark, as a goat love religion mix might. Great artwork and it looks like I haven't a scooby who any of the tracks are by (although from the font it's difficult to read the names!).
      
      I'll give it a spin soon and report back. Cheers!

      - I really enjoyed making this one
        
        Choosing an impenetrable font seemed appropriately cryptic and occult. I can pm you the tracklist in sensible font if you do want to know who you're listening to. I don;t think it;s unreadable, but then I know who is on it, and my eyes have become accustomed to metally fonts.
        
        I'll apologise now for the length, I got a bit carried away. Listening back, I think I should have cut at least 4 tracks out to keep it around 40/50 minutes. Never mind.
        
        No idea if you like this kind of music - but it's less a collection of songs, more a suite of the three Satanic rituals - erotic, compassionate, destructive; an intellectual decompression chamber.

        Black metal isn't really my thing unfortunately
        
        However, I did listen to your mix all the way through and thought that the mixing and (obviously) theming were up there with the artwork. Alas, once I've heard three or four growly black metal numbers, I've heard them all.

        that was the risk I took
        
        not sure there's many people on these boards who would enjoy an hour of that, so I'm kind of flattered you stuck it out to the end. Worth it for all the fire and brimstone preachers though....right? Black diamond express train to hell! Glad you liked it as much as possible.
        
        That's another reason I think it's too long, it's a bit samey for anyone not really into that stuff. Although part of my intention was to overdo the baphometic brutality.

      My first pass was probably more modern classical/ambient heavy so perhaps unfortunate that i stripped it out a bit to cover more bases, but yeah benzinho's stuff is lovely, particularly roses of time, and that version of death of proclomation is my favourite bit of phosphorescent alongside the track wolves.

  Received just before Easter but my laptop is away being repaired so had to wait until I was back in work to say thanks. Amazing couple of discs that's going to put mine to shame. The detail you have gone to is incredible. Where did you find all tracks for the Folk/Gospel cd? Thanks for putting all the notes by the tracks too, genuinely very interesting.

    A lot of the folk ones came from the Columbia sound archive series, then the gospel ones were drawn from Tompkins Square reissues from the last couple of years and Alan Lomax recordings which I think have all been rereleased recently as a digital archive type thing.
    
    Anyway, I'm really glad you liked them - personally I think this month's was the most fun to put together.

Thanks Basil!

received it this morning. I really like the note but I'm a bit sad you didn't include the anecdote about what happened in a church in '95. Anyway, thoughts about the music:

- Laura Cantrell might be a little too straight-up country for me but I can't deny that the acoustic guitar licks are awesome.
- The Flatmates song was great - jangly guitars and stuff so you can't go far wrong. Reminded me of my ex-girlfriend and made me a bit sad though so thanks a lot for that.
- The Mississippi John Hurt and Blind Willie Johnson songs are really pretty - I've been on a folk/gospel binge lately and they fit right in.
- The Def Jek song is funky as shit. God really did make him funky. Bit long though maybe.
- The 12twelve song is awesome - I always forget that I like jazz. Especially when it's all cosmic and shit. And short. I think jazz artists tend to just go on a bit.
- I was tossing up whether or not to buy a Fields of the Nephilim album in Oxfam the other day 'cause I've never heard them and I've got to be honest with you I'm now kind of glad I didn't.
- The Mormon Rap is absolutely fucking incredible - where did you find it?!
- I was tossing up whether or not to buy a Low album in my local record store the other day 'cause I've never heard them and I've got to be honest with you I'm now kind of sad I didn't.
- The Kitty Wells song is super pretty as well. I seem to either really like or really hate country songs with no sort of discernible criteria for which it'll be for any given song.
- This Pusha T song is HORRIBLE! The bass is so invasive and Kanye's singing is woeful and Pusha T sounds like a berk. When did this come out?! I quite like Kanye West normally. Bleurgh!

Thanks again, I really enjoyed the vast majority of this stuff. Good mix o' stuff too!
