2011 Communal Ohh! Vankyvank Cumcum! Mix

2012-01-27T18:39:00.003-05:00

As the days of our ability to share music dwindle down to only a handful (maybe this is what the Mayans were warning us about?) I feel even more guilty for taking so long to put together this 2011 Communal Mix. How long do we have? Minutes? Weeks? Hours? Let's make every circlejerky moment count, people! <(^) We had a big turnout for the communal mix this year, so I split it into two parts (though they should flow pretty well if you want to do one after the other). Below, the track number, the artist, the track title, then the length and the boardie who picked it. I didn't look too closely at release dates, so if someone picked something that really came out in 2010 mock them furiously.

Hope you enjoy!

The person I made my tapetrade for shares with me a loves for music made by differents, them what speak and act different, so I did some of that.

So yeah. Enjoy, my tapetrade... person :D

Harri's Blues Mix!

2011-08-14T18:32:00.006-04:00

I know that there are a million blues music experts that will scoff at this mix. It's not meant to be the most expertly crafted, most racially diverse, most historically important, the best of, the most obscure, the most mainstream, the most PURE, the most ANYTHING. It is just a collection of blues songs that I love to death (if you would like to know more about The Blues, read the wikipedia page on it or something). Some of them you may be familiar with, some you may not, but one thing is plain to see from this list: I like songs about sex and drinking and being poor, not so much the political commentary. Expect some dirty business is all I'm sayin.

Hope you enjoy!

01 - Mississippi John Hurt - Candy Man (2:52)
02 - Jackie Wilson & Lavern Baker - Think Twice (Version X) (2:24)
03 - Blind Willie McTell - Searchin' The Desert For The Blues (3:06)
04 - Chris Thomas King - Superstitious Blues (3:54)
05 - Bessie Smith - Me And My Gin (2:52)
06 - Cousin Joe & Pete Brown's Brooklyn Blue Blowers - Weddin´ Day Blues (3:08)
07 - Robert Johnson - Rambling On My Mind (2:50)
08 - Big Bill Broonzy - Pussy Cat Blues (2:44)
09 - Etta James - Carolina Breakdown (2:44)
10 - Snatch & The Poontangs - Two-Time Slim (4:57)
11 - Memphis Minnie - Selling My Pork Chops (2:52)
12 - Blind Boy Fuller - Untrue Blues (2:48)
13 - Furry Lewis - Judge Boushay Blues (5:36)
14 - Annisteen Allen & Her Home Town Boys - I Want A Man (Who's Gonna Do Right) (2:51)

RHMB Communal Lyrics Mix!

2011-06-06T17:14:00.008-04:00

"Music is meaningful."
Lyrics are serious business. Because of this, I usually don't pay much attention to them. "Argh! Your mouth sounds are getting in the way of the synthesizers and static", I say. But ok, I can stop being a hater for a minute and listen to some music with clever, earnest, even narrative lyrics, about people and ideas and... stuff. Since I don't have much experience in this sort of thing I begged the good people at the RHMB to help me out, and this is the collection they came up with. Thanks, folks! Boardie who picked the song is in parentheses beside their track below. If you want to find out what the lyrics mean, or whatever, ask them (or check the always reliable songmeanings.net):

1. Hello Saferide - Lund (pocki)
2. Elvis Costello - Big Boys (demo) (pocketbook angel)
3. Zita Swoon - About the Successful Emotional Recovery of a Gal Named Maria (stu)
4. Gil Scott-Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (TiltedEarth)
5. Scott Walker - Farmer In The City (Wesley Crusher)
6. Brian Eno - China My China (~Harri)
7. Sharon Van Etten - One Day (Miss Modular)
8. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Lay And Love (Brian of Nazareth)
9. The Dears - 22: The Death Of All The Romance (heyimafishy)
10. Emmy The Great - MIA (The Grolsch)
11. @ir - Playground Love (UnleadedBlue)

Harri's First Half of 2011 Mix!

2011-05-04T16:57:00.007-04:00

the hat

I've been a little busy the last few months and haven't had the time to incorrectly tag mp3 files, upload them to hit-or-miss virus-ridden file-sharing sites, and then write up confusing meme-filled ramblings about everything except the music you're being told to listen to. What's a music?

But anyway, if you have NEVER downloaded a FIRST HALF OF XXXX mix, then now is the time to do so as this is a fine bunch of songs. Listen. Emotions will scald you like a blistering hot shower of raw sentiment and overwhelming feelings. What's left of you will be quivering in a puddle of tears, hemorrhaging confusion and overtaken with the regret that your life up to this moment has been meaningless. I promise, bro.

Tracklist:

1. The Luyas - Too Beautiful To Work (3:41)
2. Wax Idols - All Too Human (3:01)
3. Leno Lovecraft - Cybernetic (4:00)
4. Sic Alps - Do You Want To Give $$? (2:44)
5. Sands Hollow - Watch Yourself (2:25)
6. Warpaint - Undertow (Javelin Remix) (3:05)
7. Young Prisms - Eleni (3:45)
8. John Maus - Quantum Leap (2:48)
9. The New Lines - Please Fall In Love (3:21)
10. Belong - Never Came Close (4:13)
11. Golf Swingers - It Fight (2:15)
12. Rayon Beach - Death Rides a Horse (2:19)
13. Moon Duo - Fallout (5:30)
14. Vivian Girls - Death (2:46)
15. Peaking Lights - Summertime (5:13)
16. The Fresh & Onlys - Wash Over Us (3:39)

Before you get all uppity like "it's only MAY JEEEEZUUUSSS WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU STUPID" it's been almost exactly six months since I posted my best of 2010 mix so stop being mean to me. Listening party NEXT Saturday 14th at 7PM EST! Soundcloud stream this time, I swear (and maybe an LP this weekend if people are interested.)

~Harri

P.S.(A.): Since this blog has been hawking The New Lines til readers' ears have bled, I think that a little spam is in order: go here and buy their first 7" single (one song of which is on this mix).

Harri v. Grolsch: [Mostly] 2011 So Far Mix!

2011-04-27T21:23:00.005-04:00

As you can tell from both the title and the picture, there is a little combativeness going on in this mix. Most of you are aware of the bitter, bitter relationship between Grolsch and I. He's wrong about things (like thinking "documentaries" aren't really "movies") and I hold silent grudges against him for this (that last for years). See? Bitter. But hey, he was like "why don't we make a mix together?" and I saw this for the opportunity to exploit that it is! So the first eight tracks are from me, some of my harsher more Mudd E. Production favorites of this year, and then 9-18 are pure Grolsch picks, full of things like "melody" and "understandable lyrics" that the editorial staff of this blog has historically shunned. What I'm trying to say is that Grolsch is good people. ♥ Now for the music:

~Harri
1. Seefeel - Airless (5:41)
2. Trust - Candy Walls (4:40)
3. Krang - Speed of Tent (3:41)
4. Dead Gaze - Somewhere Else (4:11)
5. Fungi Girls - Velvet Days (3:18)
6. Girlfriends - Cave Kids (2:30)
7. Wett Nurse - Imperial Reaction (2:04)
8. Sun Araw - December (6:29)

Grolsch
9. James Blake - I Never Learnt To Share (4:50)
10. Braids - Plath Heart (4:26)
11. Ben + Vesper - Understruggle; Yay, Win (3:26)
12. PJ Harvey - On Battleship Hill (4:05)
13. Kurt Vile - Peeping Tomboy (4:24)
14. Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside - Not an Animal (3:01)
15. Crystal Stilts - Precarious Stair (3:11)
16. Tune-Yards - Gangsta (3:58)
17. Dry The River - New Ceremony (4:14)
18. Young Galaxy - Peripheral Visionaries (3:36)

Listening party planned for this Sunday @ 5PM EST, 10PM GMT! There will be a stream up by then, I promise.

A lot of these recordings only recently fell into my lap as an explosion of sharing of live Broadcast music has happened over the last few weeks online.

Broadcast Live vol. 2 by harrizonn

fradleybox's Radiohead Live 1992-1996 Mix!

2011-01-23T03:59:00.000-05:00

Crossposted from Deadlyboars:

So, I just finished this live Radiohead mix I've been working on for a very long time. Almost two years, in fact. Here's some background:

There will be four mixes highlighting different periods in Radiohead's live performances over the course of their career. Radiohead are somewhat unique in that most songs tend to evolve constantly and slowly the more they are played, some more drastically than others. As a result, some songs will appear more than once over the course of the mixes because they are performed in such vastly different ways over the years. Each mix is set up to be mock-concert length and should feel sort of like any given show in the time period (at which they play a truly absurd number of awesome b-sides and new songs, of course).

Just in time for the 90's to be retro, this first mix covers 1992-1996 (with Talk Show Host wrangled in; it wasn't debuted live until early 1997 but there were good reasons to include it here). 29 songs, 2 hours. I did my best not to choose specific performances lots of folks may have already heard (for example, Lift performed at Pinkpop in 1996 does not appear on this mix, instead, Lift performed on JBTV will appear), though this was not always possible. Early shows were never this long, but I decided to go by current show length as a guideline. I also have only used the dates as a cutoff for what songs to include; I allowed myself to use performances of those songs from later shows, which I did in some cases where I do not plan to feature the songs again in a later mix. Some of these recordings are almost two decades old, and others are from shows as recent as 2006.

The mix is available as both a lossless (flac) and mp3 (V0) download. Additionally, I have bundled the lossless version with a program that will play flac files; foobar2000 for windows users and vlc for mac users, just in case you are new to the format. The mp3s sound great, but of course, I suggest you get the flacs. Only slight remastering was performed on most tracks, and nearly one-fourth of the tracks are taken from audience recordings. The date and venue for each track is part of the file name, in case anyone decides they want to find the bootleg that a song came from.

In sum, this is a must-have for Radiohead fans and perhaps a good thorough exposure to the band's early work for anyone who only knows the later albums. At the very least, it's something to listen to until the new album comes out!

Please enjoy with my best regards, and please, for the love of all that's holy, leave comments!

2010 Communal Mix: Gambling With Souls!

2011-01-03T22:09:00.007-05:00

This year has been a veritable roller-coaster ride of emotion on the RHMB, not that I would know since I'm rarely given over to sentiment or "feelings." Personal relationships can be chaotic, beast-like things, better left to the more swarthy races. It gets so confusing you never know just whom is doing what to whomever! One thing is for sure though, people do have opinions about music! What better way to get all these thinkings about musics out in the open where they can be debated, bitterly, leading to the shredding of friendships, than on a somewhat democratic list or "mix" of sorts? Also, as you can plainly make out from the picture, this path may also lead to waywardness and spotty morality ---> OR EVEN COMMUNISM.

Try this: track #, artist, title, (boardie who picked it):

1. Blank Dogs - Goes By (~Harri)
2. Sl**** B***s - Tell 'Em (Buck Sexington)
3. Antoine Dodson - Bed Intruder Song! (Okely)
4. Boy Eats Drum Machine - ABQ (Nymphadoratonks)
5. Oneohtrix Point Never - Stress Waves (rich)
6. Sex Bob-omb - Threshold (lindy lou who)
7. Säkert! - Dansa, fastän (pocki)
8. The Walkmen - Angela Surf City (Sarah Juice)
9. Electric President - Mr. Gone (Clarabelle)
10. Dum Dum Girls - Jail La La (hamdy)
11. Kitchen's Floor - Twenty-Two (witches hat)
12. Gonjasufi - Holidays (revilo)
13. Kurt Vile - Invisibility: Nonexistent (swan swan hum)
14. Small Black - Hydra (fradleybox)
15. Tunng - Hustle (The Grolsch)
16. Typhoon - Starting Over (Bad Habits) (strack)
17. The Bird And The Bee - Maneater (Romi & Wesley)
18. Tap Tap - Codeine (Completely Unhinged)
19. L** S********* - D*nce Yrs*lf Cl**n (really dizzy)
20. Beach House - Lover Of Mine (Miss Modular)

http://www.mediafire.com/?e0ecgypo43r1i3y

Thanks for submitting the tracks, folks! *MOST* of the songs are from 2010... most of them. Listening party @ 7PM EST this Friday but there might also be a mid-thursday one, around 1PM EST (and I should have a streamable version up by then).

~Harri

P.S. whoever gave me the Glenn Richards track I'm sorry. I didn't write down your name so I just left it off the mix. So in honor of this person, please reader, listen to Barfly Prometheus by Glenn Richards!

Bohm
For those five years Morr could do little wrong in my eyes (after, the story isn't so much the same, meh). For an IDM music label that's mostly known for instrumental stuff, this mix is heavy on vocals because -> it's heavy on the Blue Skied and Clear compilation which is -> heavy on vocals cuz it's mostly Slowdive covers.

1. Future 3 - Alison (3:11)
2. Solvent - Discontinued Parts (Instrumental Mix) (4:02)
3. Opiate - For Brian Alfred (4:16)
4. Lali Puna - Call 1-800-FEAR (3:24)

Thanks to pukirocks in the chatbox for the upload! I'm assuming this Office Chart is in reference to enjoying hot tea while literally flying over a desert (or sea?) of some sort and isn't a metaphor (or something) about the nightmarish right wing insanity that's raging in the US, so (^)< mmm, tea! <(^)

Harri's Live Broadcast Mix!

2010-10-29T09:56:00.009-04:00

Someone once said to me "you really like Broadcast" and this was true. To show this appreciation I put together a compilation of some of my favorite live material (mostly FM or Soundboard quality) of theirs and thought I'd share it. Broadcast brings a lot of spazzy synth energy to their live performances especially for the first decade (this mix covers from '96 to '05). Anyway, enjoy! [ATP = All Tomorrow's Parties.]

01. Long Was the Year (ATP, 2001) (6:22)
02. Come On Let's Go (ATP, 2001) (3:01)
03. Papercuts (Queen Elizabeth Hall, 1998) (5:33)
04. Interlude 1 (Black Session, Paris 2000) (1:45)
05. Forget Every Time (Peel Session, 1996) (4:06)
06. Accidentals (Highbury Garage, 1997) (3:35)
07. Minim (Peel Session, 2003) (2:51)
08. Tender Buttons (Music One, 2005) (4:31)
09. Unchanging Window (Black Session, Paris 2000) (6:32)
10. Lights Out (Knitting Factory, CA 2000) (4:31)
11. Interlude 2 (Knitting Factory, CA 2000) (3:19)
12. I Found the F (KEXP, 2005) (4:46)

Sarah Juice's 60s Dylan Mix!

2010-10-23T10:56:00.005-04:00

Sarah Juice has this to say about the mix:

This is the dreaded Dylan Mix. Well... Part One of the dreaded Dylan Mix. The catalogue is too big and he changes styles, voices, and even religions throughout the now 50 years he's been recording, so I decided to break it down into the 1960s, 1970s, and then 1989-2010.

Part One: 1960's. Dylan started off the 60's with folk and protest songs. I didn't include any protest songs here cos you'd all hate that stuff, but you know a lot of them already: Blowin in The Wind, Times They Are a Changin, etc. So from folk we go straight into rock. The bulk of the mix is this mid 60's golden era of Dylan's rock phase, but at the tail end we cover his brief country phase. In between are some of his most popular hits and some other stuff you may never have heard, or heard from other artists. I'd say enjoy, but I'm not stupid enough to think you will. So: Good luck!

http://www.mediafire.com/?jrdv3ud2er4xb4b

Listening party time TBD, but probably best during the middle of the weekday EST so SJ can see all the wonderful comments! edit: OK it's been decided! Two listening parties on October 26th, the first at 1PM EST the second at 8PM EST!

Ah, Autumn so nice. Perfect weather if you ask me. A bunch of this new Office Chart mix comes from the huge Ninja Tune XX box set (mostly unreleased material) and the picture above = Ninja. I'm willing to bet these songs will be showing up in many office charts to come.

Kevin Shields Outside Projects Mix!

2010-10-16T19:41:00.002-04:00

AKA, my Non-My Bloody Valentine Kevin Shields Proper Mix, or whatever you want to call it. Basically, a bunch of tunes I like that Shields either produced, played on, or remixed that all share elements of his "style," that wall of sound thing, right. A lot of these bands I'm not the biggest fan of but, when KS starts messing around with them, it can turn into a favorite. These are mostly loud though there are a few softer tracks to change the mood. Anyway, enjoy!

01 - Le Volume Courbe - I Shall Skip Your Judgement (KS guitar +) - 2:44
02 - Primal Scream - Acc*l*rator (KS production) - 3:41
03 - The Little Rabbits - La Piscine (KS remix) - 6:01
04 - Dot Allison - Message Personnel (KS guitar +) - 6:25
05 - J Mascis & The Fog - More Light (KS production) - 5:17
06 - Primal Scream - Shoor Speed Kill Light (KS production) - 5:19
07 - Curve - Coming Up Roses (KS remix) - 6:21
08 - The Pastels - Cycle (KS remix) - 6:39
09 - Yo La Tengo - Autumn Sweater (KS remix) - 8:38
10 - Primal Scream - City (KS production) - 3:22
11 - Placebo - Pure Morning (KS remix) - 3:57
12 - Le Volume Courbe - I Love The Living You (KS guitar +) - 3:23
13 - Primal Scream - MBV Arkestra If They Move Kill'em (KS production) - 6:41
14 - O'Neill - Spook (KS / Leftfield collaboration ?) - 4:07
15 - Mogwai - Mogwai Fear Satan (KS remix) - 16:10
16 - The Frank & Walters - Take Me Through This Life (KS remix) - 5:46

http://www.mediafire.com/?9z6wvh1ne9h8ayw

whew! that was a long mix. I blame Mogwai, but really I couldn't leave it off (it's epic). I do want to ask a favor though, if anyone reading this can please help me find his remix of Sinc, by Mercedes (from this compilation). Thanks! Warning: mix probably not safe for iTunes

Listening party planned for SATURDAY OCT. 23rd @ 7PM EST / MIDNIGHT BST!

Fradleybox's 2010 Instrumental Mix!

2010-10-11T21:38:00.004-04:00

Here's what fradleybox said:

I don't make any grand, egotistical claims like this is the "best of" instrumental music in the past year. They aren't the best instrumental albums of the year, either. Many of the albums these tracks come from are not themselves entirely instrumental. It is, however, a damn nice mix of some of the best instrumental tracks I've heard this year, and I hope you end up getting into one of these artists because you like their track.

so, download the mix here and enjoy
fradleybox - 2010 Instrumental Mix

Tracklist (artist-album-title):
01 - Boy Eats Drum Machine - 20 Beats - The Rabbit

2010-10-10T14:36:00.004-04:00

As many of you may have noticed a lot of the Office Chart Mixes produced over the last year have been from twitterer pukirocks, so I just want to take this moment to give them a special bit of recognition along with a disgustingly sentimental image hotlink that will hopefully be taken down or broken before too many people see it! Please visit their twitter feed as a sign of thanks, and without further ado...

Jamca's Mike Patton Mix!

2010-09-17T18:09:00.004-04:00

The Man In The Lower Right Hand Corner of the Photograph

From the beginning of this blog, I've had one rule and one rule only: no Mike Patton. But jamca wasn't there when I said that out loud to myself over and over again, so I guess it's understandable that she would violate this rule by emailing me this mix. I will try not to hold this against her. But, enough about me, what's the deal with this Patton Mix?!?!?!?!:

This is something I've been wanting to do for quite some time, and I have to say I'm pretty proud of it! Mike Patton makes me happy, and Iwanted to create a mix that would introduce people who are unfamiliar with his work, or perhaps have only heard "Epic."

I put a lot of thought into how to arrange the mix, and which tracks should go on it. I had to put some limits on my choices or else it just wouldn't work, because he has too much material! Some of the projects he has worked on are not represented on this mix at all, because I didn't feel they worked well for what I was going for. I
wanted the mix to span his career, be listenable for Patton newbies, and showcase his incredible talent, creativity, and versatility as a musician and vocalist. Most importantly, I wanted it to be FUN! And I think I accomplished that. It might not be for everyone, but it's definitely not boring!

This isn't a "best-of" mix, it's a sampler of sorts. And since I couldn't figure out the best way to arrange the tracks, I simply arranged them chronologically, which worked surprisingly well! So I present to you- the Mike Patton Chrono-Sampler, featuring: Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, and Mondo Cane.

(technically, the final track was recorded in 2008, so chronologically it's out of order. But it's still part of his latest project, and I thought it made a great ending!)

To anyone even half-considering checking this out, this is my promise to you: You WILL find something to love on this mix, though you're likely to find things to hate, too! There's a lot of variety to be found here. Give it a try, and have fun!

Love,
Jamca

Thanks, jamca! Listening party tentatively scheduled for this Sunday at 5PM EST! Tracklist:

01) Zombie Eaters - Faith no More - 1989

Macondo Well Incident Mix!

2010-08-01T11:04:00.006-04:00

Wahey! Directly from the anonymous horse's mouth, the Macondo Well Incident Mix. Topical! In case you don't know what the Macondo Well Incident is, it's basically the hole in the earth that Obama made by being a secret muslim communist nazi dictator which unleashed Satan's liquified stool unto the Gulf sea and made the entire country unemployed all of a sudden (why does Obama hate Dolphins?). The worst part of this whole thing is how are we supposed to tell what parts of the Gulf were destroyed by viscous nightmare spunk and which were already dead from the chemical death-spout that is the Mississippi River? So confusing!

RHMB's Belle and Sebastian Mix!

2010-06-04T20:02:00.005-04:00

B&S: they look pleasant

Ah, Belle and Sebastian. The name-checking indie band that almost everyone can agree on. Okay, maybe some people don't like them. "Too precocious," they say, maybe even calling them "dainty." I for one don't buy it! This split is reminiscent of the Cross-Atlantic Conflict on the RHMB. However, despite the deep divide between American and British RHMBers, riven by years of clear UK aggression, and divided by bad blood over 1812, who had the best punks and tea taxes (now more pertinent than ever), it's nice to have a moment's respite and enjoy some wispy, emotive, indyrockyness together. And / or make babies.

Harri's First Half of 2010 Mix!

2010-05-14T22:48:00.007-04:00

2010 is the year we've all learned something about ourselves. We learned that politics is all fun and games until they are racist (but my tax return sure isn't racist! wahey!) We had fun watching live bands with friends (who we secretly hate). Most of us lost our jobs where we drank for free all day without a care in the world. Some of us didn't graduate from school nor ever will. But while contemplating these terrible things it's nice to have a soundtrack. I present to you the First Half of 2010 Mix (a month early you say? better to get the drop on all those other blogs doing "first half" mixes! haw! NERDS!)

This mix is meant to piggyback off the Anonymous Mix, New Life In The Blast Zone below (I tried not to duplicate stuff). How about a listening party for this next week WEDNESDAY the 19TH @ 7PM EST!

Sticky Tar Chart!

2010-03-03T18:51:00.002-05:00

From Dead Air Space:

so yes rumour has it that the canadians came to the copenhagen summit demanding to increase their co2 emmissions.
principally cuz of the tar sands and how much money the faceless motherfuckers in the oil industry stand to make out of it.. who are obviously bankrolling the government there.
i find it hard to correlate this all with the canadians i know who are very forward thinking..
the frightening thing about it is that just such a project could send the climate over the tipping point.
here's a link.. but just google if you wanna know more

people and planet on tar sands

....i try to imagine what it must be like to work in the political lobby office of BP or whatever (ok not often).. must be nice to not give a shit... i've met some people involved in the oil industry they seem nice enough... u know..
but hey, they might cry, were all answerable to the shareholders..
err hang on isnt that most of us? pension funds etc? tricky. but then again not really. what use is a fuckin pension when there aint nowhere to live?

an yway
this is an office chart for all u shareholders out there>>>>

Intro: Live At Skateland (1986) Cutty Ranks
Brothers Gonna Work It Out Public Enemy Fear of a Black Planet

Thanks again to pukirocks of The Twitter and Chatbox fame for the music link! You are a savior.

Also, this is about as close to an "environmental post" as the mixblog will likely get! Congrats, Thom! Everyone be nice to the guy for a bit... all those ellipses and cursewords indicate fragility. Perhaps a violent undertone? Is Thom part ORCA!?

topical!

asabp's Film Music Mix + Listening Party!

2010-01-10T16:44:00.005-05:00

asabp (= allsurrogateandbulletproof) has been kind enough to provide us with a mix of film musics, and in her own words:

To make the mix I decided I wanted to choose music that really was part of the film... not just songs for movies, but proper Film Music.

It is very subjective and it might look like a very uneven mix but the common thing is that you listen to the music and if you have seen the film it might take you back to it and if you hand't hopefully it'll make you want to see it.

In the process many things were left behind... but it had to be done.

Oh and in the list I misspelt laberynth... labyrynth... labyrinth! It's one of those words I just can't spell.

Call for RHMB Noughties Lists!

2010-01-04T14:10:00.005-05:00

HELLO BABBY NEW DECADE! Well, the decade we call "the noughties" is finally over (shut up pedants!) Now it's time to make a list of the best releases! This is due on MARCH 27th at 12PM EST and I'm going to aggregate this one like I did the 90s list, except for a couple of changes: 1. I want between 20 and 50 picks from you and 2. the points system is slightly different. To keep things simple and relatively fair, you will get 20 points for your #1, 19 points for your #2, and so on until #16 when that pick and everything after gets 5 points. In other words:

#1 = 20 points
#2 = 19 points
#3 = 18 points
...
#16 = 5 points
#17 = 5 points
#18 = 5 points
...
#49 = 5 points
#50 = 5 points

Anything with a release date year beginning with the numbers 20** is fine (though, remasters are frowned upon! BY ME!) I'd prefer to get the lists in descending order starting with #1, and if you could include the year of release along with the band name and album title (or single, etc), it would save me an awful lot of work. Send lists to me @ my gmail addy: harrizonn@gmail.com or put them in the comments.

I look forward to the lists! And don't forget, this *IS* a competition, so SPAM your favorites on the msgboard!

These are just in the order in which I thought they would sound the best, just so you don't think that Jason and hamdy are my favorites (ironically, I hate them both). I will try and put together a streaming link again before the listening thing.

A listening party is planned for Sunday, January 3rd, at 7PM, unless most of the people on this mix disagree with me, and then I'll update with a different date (or there may be two listening parties? who knows!). Also, good luck getting this to work with iTunes. *shakes head*

Here's the tracklist & link, with Track Number - Band Name - Song Title (RHMBer that picked the track) (track length):

01 - Local Natives - Wide Eyes (Jason!) (4:27)
02 - Sic Alps - L Mansion (hamdy) (2:38)
03 - Washed Out - Get Up (Harri) (3:01)
04 - Kings of Convenience - Mrs. Cold (Miss Modular) (3:08)
05 - Califone - Polish Girls (fradleybox) (3:04)
06 - Tabloid - The Junkie Violin Player (The Brutal End of Dirty Socks) (4:52)
07 - Other Lives - Matador (jamca) (3:44)
08 - Yo La Tengo - Periodically Double or Triple (Sarah Juice) (3:53)
09 - OOIOO - Hewa Hewa (Okelydokely Computer) (1:29)
10 - Metric - Gold Guns Girls (The Grolsch) (4:05)
11 - Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More (Mack) (3:27)
12 - Dirty Projectors - Two Doves (really dizzy) (3:41)
13 - Mew - Hawaii (Strack) (5:01)
14 - Dan Deacon - Snookered (Gimme Some Truth) (8:03)
15 - Atlas Sound with Noah Lennox - Walkabout (revilo) (3:58)

Harri's Best of 2009: Art E. Mix!

2009-12-02T20:28:00.005-05:00

Harri is me, by the way. This has been a great year for music, I think. These are 18 tracks from all but two of my favorite albums (or maybe from singles or something) this year. I left off Roman Soldiers and Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti because the former was redundant and the second was kind of a "greatest hits" album but not really so whatever. But I love them all the same.

01 - Thee Oh Sees - Tidal Wave (3:43)
02 - Here We Go Magic - Fangela (5:30)
03 - Fresh & Onlys - Feelings in My Heart (2:53)
04 - Broadcast & The Focus Group - I see, So I see So (2:08)
05 - Gary War - Clean Up (4:00)
06 - The Mantles - Don't Lie (3:42)
07 - Ganglians - Lost Words (4:17)
08 - FRAET - Another Way To Answer (4:08)
09 - Tonstartssbandht - Black Country (3:29)
10 - Atlas Sound - Sheila (3:32)
11 - Tim Hecker - Pond Life (1:24)
12 - Gnonnas Pedro Et Ses Panchos - Okpo Videa Bassouo (3:30)
13 - Blank Dogs - Slowing Down (3:11)
14 - Matthew Dear & Seth Troxler - Hurt (6:06)
15 - Crystal Stilts - Love Is A Wave (2:01)
16 - Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms (4:05)
17 - TeePee - Purgatory (2:18)
18 - Kings of Convenience - Riot On Empty Street (3:58)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=REPSD3Q6

A streamable version and date for a listening party will be up when I can get those kinds of things sorted out.

Hope you enjoy! (if you do, drop me a note)

Harri

P.S. who care!

Call For End Of Year Lists!

2009-11-19T13:30:00.003-05:00

Regarding your Best Of 2009 album lists, I'm going to post whatever people give me in one long post on, uhh... December 19th. The release just has to be from this year (can be a repackaging/rerelease or anything with a 2009 date), and the list can be from five to fifty.

So, whatever lists I've gotten by then will be posted (with comments if you want), and there they shall be for all internet eternity.

If I don't know you from the RHMB, feel free to post your lists in the comments that day! Or maybe if you trick me into thinking I know you, I will post your lists with my friends'. If you are an enemy I will also post your list, because you're supposed to keep your enemies close (to take revenge at arm's length.)

FUCK YOU JOE LIEBERMAN! (a mix)

2009-10-28T00:38:00.004-04:00

Seriously, folks! I'm pissed (RE: public option and "filibustering", just google that mess, I can't bear to link to the horribleness). So pissed, in fact, that I felt I needed to share a mix of songs where, through twisted logic, you can dance and sing along and pretend they're all about how shitty of a person Joe Lieberman is and you can do some soul searching to understand just HOW shitty he is (spoilerz: he's VERY shitty.) I'll delete any pro-Lieberman comments and ban people in the chatbox that disagree with me, by the way, so... just go somewhere else if you're not in the Joe Lieberman Hate Club.

01 - The Creation - How Does It Feel To Feel (3:39)
02 - The K*nks - Brainwashed (15:42)
03 - DEVO - Mongoloid (3:45)

05 - Jay Reatard - Puppet Man (1:43)
06 - J*m* Hendr*x - Hey Joe (3:30)
07 - The Monks - Shut Up (3:14)
08 - T*m Wa*ts - Table Top Joe (4:13)
09 - Ugly K*d Joe - I Hate Everything About You (4:25)
10 - Les Chantels - Shaggy Baggy Joe (2:32)
11 - little willie & the adolescents - get out of my life (2:12)
12 - .45 Grave - Fucked By The Devil (3:02)
13 - Unbekannter Kbnstler - I Throw Punches... (3:30)
14 - Blind Willie McTell - You Got To Die (3:13)
15 - Zones - Stuck With You (2:34)

2009-08-09T10:44:00.007-04:00

Well, here it is! As you might expect Radiohead dominates, but there are a few surprises here, I think. The list gets a little more esoteric as it goes down, but it's sprinkled with mainstream favorites as well as cult classics. Unfortunately, because of the points system, bands with a number of really good albums, but no clear favorite, suffered (like Blur, PJ Harvey, Pavement, and a few others).

RHMB Top 20 Albums of the 1990s!

2009-08-06T10:49:00.000-04:00

Just changing things up a bit here... I want as many boardies as can be "arsed" to do it to give me a top 20 music releases* of the 1990s to me so I can post it! Then I'll aggregate the lists, give your #1 20 points, #2 19 points, etc, add them all together, and see if we have 20 in common with a bunch of votes. I'm hoping for a lot of submissions...

*anything RELEASED in the 1990s (that's any year with a 199*, any kind of release, LP, EP, singles, rerelease, compilation, best of, ANYTHING if it's got a 90s date on it.)

I've got a deadline of August 7th (that's three weeks or so) if you want to submit something.

Remember, if you're favorite album isn't listed, and you didn't vote, you can't bitch!

send submissions to: harrizonn@gmail.com (or if you're shy, post it in the comments)

Harri

P.S. even if I'm the only person who votes, I'm still going to post it as the RHMB top 20! haha

Jason! put together a mix of songs that are made by Jewish artists (including himself AKA Eleanor Centennial).

01 - WHY - This Blackest Purse
02 - Yo La Tengo - Sometimes I Don't Get You
03 - Leonard Cohen - Nothing to One
04 - Television - Friction

A Few More Days Til 90s Lists Are Due!

2009-08-04T13:31:00.003-04:00

Friday night at midnight is the deadline. Remember, it has to be posted in the comments section here or emailed to harrizonn@gmail.com to be counted (you can't just put it on the messageboard!) Two other things:

a. yeah, it's fine if there's more than one album/EP/single per band!

b. if you don't give me 20, you don't get a #1 20 points spot (I count them backwards, for instance if you only give me 13, your #1 gets 13 points.) Think hard!

cheers,

Harri
