Jonny Greenwood's Office Mix(es)!

From DEAD AIR SPACE:

Tried to do a Spotify arab collection.....but no Laila Mourad, or Um Khalthum, or much Abdel Halim Hefez on spotify yet......so it's bolstered with some random classical stuff - but then, it's all orchestras sitting down, right?

Talking of which - found out this week about the old Baghdad music school for blind children - hence the shaded musicians in arab orchestras, the prevalence of which I could never understand. I (offensively?) assumed it was just 60's iraqi hipsters being 60's iraqi hipsters...though they were that too, of course....

-J.G.

Spotify, for those who don't know, is a European contraption that lets people listen to music for free and whatnot (not available to many of us poor souls!) I put the files into two parts, one Arabic and one Western. The Bach is just a small clip from a larger piece that I would encourage everyone to pick up (here's an amazon.com link.)

P.S. Personally, y'know, I'm looking forward to familiarizing myself with these tunes becuz usually the only time I hear anything like this is when a friend forces some crazeh Bollywood or Iranian flick on me, or I'm at an Indian buffet. JK!

Link and Tracklist: Elias' Agentinian Mix!

Here in the good man's own words...

This is a brief, but broad glimpse of 40 years of what is here known as "Argentinian Rock". I can't stand many of these bands, yet they had to be there for pedagogical reasons. Even though I've tried to avoid "classics", so this approach would be a bit less conventional, I've failed a bit to that matter.
Given that it might be a bit tedious to hold a listening party (because of the language and such), I think it's better to not make one.
Enjoy!

Dave Montos' Great White North Mix!

From Dave Montos: "I decided to pick one song from each province. This went perfectly except for 1 problem, I couldn't find anything in my musical collection from Saskatchewan. I tried to find some but there was little choice, there was a 90's blue's rock band that was popular back then but I didn't feel like including them. There is a Native (aborigine) hip-hop scene there at the moment, I tried listening to some of it but it was rather cheesy.

So I was forced to leave Saskatchewan out of the mix."

Poor Saskawhateverwan! haha... I'm kidding, I love Canada! Thanks Dave!

Nova Scotia - Matt Mayes + El Torpedo
Prince Edward Island - Jenn Grant
New Brunswick - Rock Plaza Central

Collision of Sex - Cyberpunk Mix: DL link and tracklist!

We'll have the listening party for this next week, on Sunday the 15th at 6PM EST but I'm going to go ahead and upload the mix to give people extra time to download it (and maybe give it a listen? THERE ARE NO RULES).

If you're wondering what my criteria for "cyberpunk" was for putting this together, I basically went with late 70s, early 80s European/Western synth heavy tracks that had ATTITUDE (punkish, gothic, or just synth-geek) and a "futuristic" sound. One rule of thumb is that I wanted music that wouldn't seem out of place on the Blade Runner soundtrack. ha!

Also, this mix was heavily inspired by Oldpunks.com's Cyberpunk selections, so if you like what you hear here, check that stuff out.

01 - Bal Parй - Raumpatrouille (2:07)
02 - Solid Space - Tenth Planet (2:46)
03 - Burlesque - Collision Of Sex (3:45)
04 - Philippe Laurent - Exposition Partie 5 (2:39)
05 - Trick 17 - City Nacht (2:14)
06 - Guerre Froide - Ersatz (2:45)
07 - Causey Way - Geological Lust (3:09)
08 - Wonders of Science - Lets Start A Rumour (2:26)
09 - Absolute Body Control - Waving Hands (3:23)
10 - Three To Forgotten - Ktano (3:31)
