Damnit mix tapes sound like an awesome idea, but I'm fairly sure all would mock my total musical tastelessness. Or I'd get spiteful and fill a CD with Zappa and no one wants that.

Are we doing another trade? Because my tracks are so funky fresh. Fresher than they have ever been.

Well, I wasn't necessarily initiating another trade; I just made this mix anyway, and since I knew I had some karmic debt from the first two mixes, I'm offering it as a way of saying "I'm sorry, Acheboard!" But if people want a swap, that's cool too. (I'll even make another mix just for it.)

My previous mix (Something Clever) still exisits in mp3 form. I could put it on my site for DL for anybody who missed it last time. Anybody interested?

I could consider doing another mix but I don't think that it could possibly be as cool.

I would.  Maybe we could work up a Zappa only mixtape exchange.

I once spent a few months tracking down a Zappa bootleg simply because I had gotten twisty with a Very Special Lady with it playing in the background. I got it, and it was just as good. Everyone wants Zappa mix-tapes, man- in fact, since Zappa was so prolific and a lot of his stuff is sort of eclectic- some people might like one track but hate another- a mix of his would be welcomed.

You make *one* damn throw-away comment.....

Although I do enjoy a challenge. So would a Zappa mix tape actually be something people would go for? I make no promises and it would probably take a little bit since I'd have to borrow a bunch of cds of a friend of mine but if people wouldn't respond in horror I'll give it a go.

I'm game to make an all Zappa mixtape.  However, there are two provisos.

First, mine will probably be all instrumental.  Second, a few of the recordings will be of rather low-quality.  

Still interested?  Let me know.

I think you should make the mixtapes all zappa, and do the vegan-trick.

HAHA! YOU ATE VEGAN FOOD! WASN'T IT JUST AS GOOD! SEE!

Not to mock certain close friends of mine who are vegan and do this very trick, but I doubt very many non-vegans care what is in their food, as long as it is good.

What I'm saying is to trick people with Zappa. I often fantasize about tricking friends/family into liking my music (Dad, listen to this cd I made! it's of old classical rock songs, not at all the crazy indie rock of the 80s! *hands cd which consists entirely of Replacements songs which I think sound "not-as-punk"*)

I'm sorry. the act of actually telling people the criteria for picking songs for a mixtape reminded me of... I dont...

yeah.

 Crap, I knew that people on this board would eventually footnote out of our planar spectrum. 4 dimensions only, plz!

 ONE of my fears when making mixtapes is that the person receiving the tape might think I'm trying to convert them to my tastes. I am working on a cd-r that will showcase noiserock and off-time nerd punk throughout the last  decade (as filtered through my not-so-big collection of music). Tentative title is "the modern spazz".  I think the format I'm going to go for is: hook, no hook, hook, psych/noise jam..and repeat.

Antioch, I am very interested in this and although I'm sure it will be a compelling mix I promise not to feel thereby pressured to convert to your (no doubt very awesome) taste in music.

Personally I've been working on a mix that finds the common aesthetic thread through lofi ((pseudo-)ethnic) (psych) folk, drone, slowcore, shoegaze and dream pop.  Frankly, it will be devastating.  If anyone is interested, let me know and I will send you a copy.

I was in Vilnius in September yet I failed to visit the Bust of Frank Zappa.  A deathbed regret if I ever heard of one. :(

I have never made a mixtape before.  Except live.  I guess being a DJ counts as making a mix tape.  It's kind of the same idea.

And wait, I did make my Dad a modest penis mixtape.  Which he gave to someone else to so they could get hip to them.  So I have to say that's a pretty good record, it was so good, someone then shares it with someone else.  I think that should be the goal for all mixtapes.

That said, I would be interested in the zappa mixes alls yalls have.

 You got it, dude! //michelle tanner
I appreciate you facing my potential mixtape with such equanamity.
I am interested in yours as well; It seems like it will be at least less than 2 steps from mercilesness.

 More bands need to describe themselves as "slowcore." It sounds better than "stoner," I think. At least slowcore is a genre name that won't incriminate you to your parents.

Stoner is a perfectly fine term to describe music.  Stoner rock or stoner metal could never be replaced by slowcore (which makes me think of Galaxie 500, Ride or maybe Low).  And if you're describing it to your parents, for some reason, just drop the stoner.

Yeah, basically when I say "slowcore" I mean "Low."
