Anyone download this?

I did, but I don't know how to use this .rar format.

Download winrar and install it..  It's freeware (mostly)

That will allow you to "unrar" it.  It's a lot like zipping, but more efficient.

Ok, the next question is what is it called.  'My Mix' just ain't gonna cut it.

"Keith Hernandez's Home Run Jamboree"?  Naw.. I'm only funnin'.

[pmcd9]

Actually, I see that it has a name "Live Fast, Die Young, Mozart," which is a great name.

The track you have listed as Junior Murvin - Police and Thieves shows the artist to be Lee Scratch Perry.  Is Junior Murvin - Police and Thieves the name of the song or is Junior Murvin a pseudonym for Lee Scratch Perry?

Junior Murvin sang "Police and Thieves."  Lee "Scratch" Perry produced it.

[KeithHernandez]

And it came in the Lee "Scratch" Perry Arkology box set.  Sorry for the confusion.

Most of the stuff he produced is more his than the artist that made it, from the way I understand how his productions worked.  At very least he was as important as the recording artist.

Now I have to make a new mix soon.  Thanks alot.

I do what I can good sir!

so, I have made my theoretical mix, and it comes out to over 2.5 hours long. so, um. I need to work on it more.

anyway, there are a few songs that I have only included because I think most people might not be familiar with them. however, the reason most of my friends do not know these songs is that most of my friends know shit-all about music. so, tell me if it is rediculous to include:

Wasted-- Black Flag
What do I get? -- The Buzzcocks
There you Are-- Flaming Lips
Viet Nam-- Minutemen
The money will roll right in-- mudhoney
Mr Grieves-- Pixies
Prove my Love-- Violent Femmes
anything by The Replacements (mostly from Let it Be. I picked my favorite tracks, which came out to about half the album. obviously this will be pared down.)
anything by Mission of Burma (same as the 'mats. I picked my favorite tracks, which came out to half of what they ever released)
Minor Threat. Um.

once again, I realize that most of you are older than me, and that most of these groups are from the 80's. so maybe everyone who grew up in the 80's rocked out to "Straight Edge" and I wasn't aware.

[KeithHernandez]

I am only 2 or 3 years older than you but have at least heard of every one of those bands.  Most I have heard as well.  Some of those I consider classic tracks and bands.

However, I haven't heard all of those and I included a Replacements track.  What I did for mine was I made a mix I will listen to for a couple weeks, and posted it.

I think that is the best way, since it was my first mix.

[pmcd9]

Keith Hernandez is a singles hitter.

see, but, I was going to make it For Real and mail it to people. so a single disc would probably be best.

I have now gotten it down to 1:36, though. the issue is that most of the songs are pretty short-- so cutting off an additional 16 minutes is probably going to be 6 or 7 tracks.

plus, I'm seeing if I can get a track by this local ska band. if I can't get a copy from them-- is there any tricky way that I can record a song that I'm streaming? They have the track on their Myspace, but it seems like "hold the microphone up to the speaker!" is a bad option.
