Mite, never ever run in shame from quoting High Fidelity.  Ever.

Here here (?) on the importance of transitions - iTunes played one the other day on shuffle that caught my ear verrrrry nicely- especially because of the ridiculousness of the artists that segued together so nicely.

I may just burn a bunch of .mps based on iTunes shuffle mode...

Persnackly. I'm just itching to be participatory.

Most of my mixes that I share don't have unifying theme, but the ones I make for myself do (eg moods, driving music, the obligatory romancing-the-ladies mix). I find its more important to transition well.


I'm all for good transitions (and I like closure, too)...can someone tell me what a 'good transition' would be? Is it merely being conscious of how songs segue into each other? Or are talking about fades and stuff?


Good transition example #1: The Who's "A Quick One While He's Away" into Beck's "Sexxlaws". Thematic and melodic segue. I may cry.

High Fidelity is #1 in my all-time top 5 films released in 2000 list.

If you quoted that from memory, then I'm especially impressed. And my knees may be a little weak there.

So what have we decided, people?  How are we going to do this thing?

Mite?  This is your gig. Should we be sending things your way or what?

I greatly want to be in on this (I'm kind've obsessed with making mix cds - it's my new fav. hobby), but I'm rather confused here on what to choose - whichever costs less and uses the least amount of packaging would be the best bet (hah!) ..I guess if they were all sent to one person and distributed or small groups ...are we just making one mix?  one mix and copies for all in group?  -confusion-

As for themes, I usually just find one after I have a setlist ...most the time I break up my mixes into parts ..I name each part either with something I made up or a lyric in a song of that part then I link quotes together from each part to create the overall 'theme' and 'title' ..if that makes sense.  I have examples here.  whenever people give me a theme, I sort've lose interest sadly ...I'm one of those spontaneous mix makers - not the planned theme based on mood sort.  I actually made three death mixes in a row by accident ...hah.  poor people I traded with ;)

Alright, I just came up with an awesome compromise between the big & small chain options. When I'm less pressed for time (woke up a little late this morning), I'll describe in detail.

I've now got 9 names. Who else wants it? Get to me by Friday!

I'm with August as far as mailing my stupid CDs to people.  It's the idea of getting CDs from others, then having to mail those to other people, that I think is wacky.  If someone sends me a CD, I'd like to keep it.

Just my opinion, of course.

I'd at least mp3 the cd's sent to me. So not too much worry about having to send them on, but it does have the chance of going above the effort threshold.
But, like someone said - who cares. Someone else will choose, and I'll do what they say. Democracy isn't my strong point (damn that polisci degree).

Oh and as far as the whole conscious mix thing, I will be doing it with a mixing desk, since well, it's one of my jobs... I've also got about 15 other hour to 2 hour long mixes lying around on HD if anyone digs what they get from me and wants more. And since I can fit more than one on a CD...

If I'm not on the list you have, I'll give it a go. Selgiraffely, of course, I am far more interested in what you all are listening to then subjecting you to my odd and somewhat dated and mainstream offerings.
