Hm... I always thought Sigur Ros would be nice...

Most likely I wouldn't really like a funeral.. just a cremation and sent off flying.. perhaps people could celebrate while eating pastries and listening to a soundtrack later.  hah.

I have a few bpb albums and really 'i see a darkness' is the best!

As for African music, though I'm unsure what it has to do with bpb.... I have a downloaded copy of this:  http://www.sublimefrequencies.com/item.asp?Item_id=14&cd=BUSH-TAXI-MALI:-Field-Recordings-From-Mali

I downloaded the Zart mix.. I know most those bands but not those songs weirdly.. heh.
Yay to Movietone!  they just aren't mentioned often enough.

[ETA:  yep, was quite good.  I'm a fan of shoegaze/britpop

Speaking of which, around the same time as downloading the mix, I downloaded this which semi-reminded me of shoegaze even if it is listed as post rock.. it's that guitar distortion I guess.. hah]

Would that be the Mr. Hal Andalucia mix that our Bozack made, because that's where I got it.  That's right Judy, you chose the same song as Bozack.  You should wih a prize for that.

Nope, I sadly missed out on that one :\
It was from someone I traded with in person a few years ago.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the Hot Chip album. Not sure if they're heard of over there or not.

Well, I know of them, but only 'cause of a london guy I know talking about them in '04.  I think everything they've done is brilliant :D
I just recently ordered the new album, but have had it on my HD for the past few months or so... also own a few of the singles.  I wish the bside on the one ('A Glue Too Thick') could be found online since I just have it on vinyl and don't have a way to transfer it to mp3.  bah.

On cassette or cd?

Honestly, I can't remember which cassette I bought... maybe Warren G - Regulate?  I was into rap around my early teens.. I distinctly recall being in Target holding it.  I'm not sure if I bought any before that myself.

Probably my first cd purchase was another weird rap album.  I wish I had been in another musical phase so this would be more interesting :D

Hm.. I somehow missed out on this one, too and well, I like sad stuff.  I'll get to PM'in.
By Monday, I'm going to link my mix in digital form, by the way... since a friend I had sent it to got a crack in his disc, so yeah, if anyone missed out on mine, well, I'll prob. link it in the mix thread once it's up w/description.

Lately, when it comes to rap, I mostly stick to anticon.  especially Why? and 13+God... I think when it comes to the latter, it's mostly 'cause The Notwist is a part of it.. hah.

I used to be a rap fiend in h.s. though.. I even made my own rap parody radio show with my cousin and another friend -- our dj names were masta lis (that was me; at the time I liked to go by Lisa which was weird since my name isn't even close to this), AK (an ak-47 sound clip would play as the opening) and Spanky (she was crazy; donkey kong country monkey noises was her opening) [still have it all on 4 cassette tapes in a drawer somewhere]... my favs at that time were 2pac, Warren G, Bone Thugs 'n' Harmony, Master P, Biggie, DJ Screw, Da Brat (Funkdafied!) and Too $hort (F*** my car).  some of it is still fun to return to in a joking way, but yeah, I tended towards ghetto 90's rap as can be seen, so I can't say most of it had much long term value..

Some was genuinely good for the time, but some I just bought for "cool factor" -- a boy I liked at the time who lived down the street was a wannabe gangster and he nodded in an approving way if I had the latest rap albums at his disposal while he'd hang playing video games while using my phone to call his other friends.  no, I don't know either.
