man...
I am so at a loss as to what to put on my mix.
so far it is one track: "Burning House of Love"
do you all know this song?

Will this be like when I asked my dad if he'd ever heard the song "Stairway to Heaven" when I was in 7th grade?

I'm thinking that I'll post the tracklist, and you can tell me if any of the songs are not worth putting on it. My mixes are not a science... so it won't have a theme or anything. It will be "my favorite songs", and maybe I'll switch some out for HoJul's version (since I already sent her a mix for her birthday).

and of course, remember that I am not sending you a message with these songs. "Let's Kiss" by Beat Happening is not a message to anyone. Nor is "get the fuck away I'll cut you Q, I'm serious I told you not to show up here like this" by my future band.

I still intend to make a mix, however work is stone cold crazy, and finals are coming up. I'll get to it next week. Please, could all y'all set aside one for me? I'll go through and pm everybody with requests once I'm done going completely insane.

Aw that is so cute.

Inev, you are missing the spirit of the enterprise.  Do not ask for approval.  Have the courage of your convictions.

I'll get to the PMing..

I've been such a slacker on my mix... all I know is how the beginning will go and it has yet to have a theme.
I may even do another keyboard ditty I make up in the midst of it as an interlude... it has yet to come together though.. and I need my musician friend to master it once I'm done -- he hasn't been around lately.. audacity is good for some editing, but I know nothing about compression and all that jazz.

Soon, yes soon... most likely it'll be as eclectic as my other mixes.
The Books, Orange Juice, The Boy Who Spoke Clouds, The Oranges Band and Birdmonster are some of the bands that shall make it on there... you can PM if you are interested based on that alone...

My mix is about half-assembled, but most of all of my days lately have been putting rats in boxes and taking them out again, so I'm not ready yet. Hopefully soon, though.

Theres a good Canadian folk song about pirates, well... privateers anyhow.

Written by Stan Rogers, about a Nova Scotian who got messed up when their privateer ship ended up getting blown to bits.

Turns out, Nova Soctians had a large history of privateering against the Colonial ships.   They didn't care much for the Colonies raiding their coastal cities.   King George didn't much care for the colonies around this time either (The song is set in 1778), and gave a bunch of ships permission to ransack Colonial ships.

From what I understand, privateering was safe(ish).  You'd slide on up, yell "Avast!" and take the loot from the other ship.   The victims wouldn't put up a fight, since privateers would leave you alive, and your ship afloat. 

(The song goes a little differently.)

I can't track down the song, (Not while at work, anyhow) but have some lyrics.

Yes yes, I am well well versed in shanties, unfortunately most things in that song are LIES LIES LIES.  I am sorry I had to take you to the school in the car of pain on this.

Oh, I had no illusions that it was an oral history handed down through song.

It was written in the 70s by a folk singer.  The events in the song are historically plausible.

Indeed, I apologize for coming off as such as a dick in this case.  ( I just re-read this because work intruded and realized I was sound all... dickular... it was not my intention)

Anyway, yes we agree...


So... there's that then.

That song is hell of fun to sing in a large unembarrassed group. I like it better than most Stan Rogers songs for that reason. "Lies" does not have the quality of hollering and stomping like Barrett's Privateers.

It does if it's that Violent Femmes song!

I didn't read it as dickish.    I took it for SASS.

Also:

I am totally down with the merriment that Ben-San describes.

"Barrett's Privateers" is one of the best songs to sing in a huge group of unashamed people, yes. It's the Very Favorite Song of a dear friend who has the worst singing voice I've ever heard on a human being, and he will sing it given any opportunity. (He also does an extremely fabulous repetoire of Warren Zevon songs; there's nothing like barrelling down the highway at night while your tone-deaf driver is working his way through "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner.")
