Harris Tapeworm 2011!

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. Actually, this mix is a pretty good representation of stuff that I *LOVED* this year, that I either knew about before (like Ellington and Stevens) and fell back in love with, or was only just exposed to it and couldn't get it out of my mind. So yeah. Enjoy, my tapetrade... person :D

RHMB Communal Lyrics Mix!

"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)

Harri's First Half of 2011 Mix!

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!

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)

Broadcast Live Mix Vol. 2!

This is a second collection of live performances I thought I would put together as a way of remembering the late Trish Keenan. 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!

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!

RHMB Communal 2010: Now Streaming!

Reminder: Listening Party tonight, Friday, @ 7PM EST!

RHMB Communal 2010 by harrizonn

hope to see you there,

~Harri

2010 Communal Mix: Gambling With Souls!

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!
