Match Cut Mixtape Volume 6 - Christmas

[Saya]

The mixtapes kind of died after the last one, but would anyone else be interested in another mixtape with Christmas as the theme?

I need some fresh Christmas tunes and I'm willing to put it together if we get enough songs to fill it up. :)

[monolith94]

[Spinal]

"2000 Miles" - The Pretenders

[Boner M]

I hate Christmas. So...

Beat Happening - "Christmas"

[Thirdmango]

Suzy Snowflake -- Soul Coughing

[Winston*]

Tom Waits - Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis

Having trouble thinking of more Christmas songs I like than that and Fairytale of New York.

[Raiders]

"Father Christmas" - The Kinks

[Lasse]

D-A-D - Sad Sad Christmas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQaA2wdy_iw)

[Russ]

Two from Brave Combo (please?)

Slow - "Ave Maria"

[Kurious Jorge v3.1]

The New Pornographers - "The Spirit of Giving"

[transmogrifier]

Two from Brave Combo (please?)

Fast - "Must Be Santa"

Slow - "Ave Maria"


If it's not allowed, one of those can be nominally mine, because I have nothing to offer in terms of Christmas songs. Nothing.

[Saya]

Fast - "Must Be Santa"

Slow - "Ave Maria"

No problem, I'll put these two on it.

[Saya]

Ok, how about a winter time song or something like that? That could work as well.

[D_Davis]

Well, if you need another song...

Everything's Gonna Be Cool This Christmas, by The Eels

"Baby Jesus, born to rock!"

[Saya]

Well, if you need another song...

Everything's Gonna Be Cool This Christmas, by The Eels

"Baby Jesus, born to rock!"

Cool! I'll add that one to the mix as well.

Ok, I have 15 songs now for the mix. It would be great if we can get 5 more so we have 20 songs in total. I think that's a good amount for the mix. So, does anyone else want to add a song? :)

[Russ]

Aaaand...if no one else steps forward, see if you can find

Silent Night by The Dickies

[D_Davis]

And if no one else has anything more...

Bing Crosby and David Bowie - Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth

Ok, the mix is done. You can expect it later today.

Here are a couple covers you could use for it:

Did I nominated a Tom Waits track for another one of these things. I don't remember.

[Russ]

Just finished listening to the mix..love it. Awesome job with song placement. Really outstanding songs all around, I don't think there's a bad one on this comp. All selections were really good, but these were particularly sublime for me: Leon Redbone, James Brown, Chris Isaak, The Eels, The New Pornographers, Widespread Panic.

Thanks for the early present, Saya. You get extra rep for this.

[Ezee E]

Was it you that did the Halloween one?

[Winston*]

Was it you that did the Halloween one?

Nope. Nominated a Nick Cave one for that.

I'm glad you liked it!

My favorites of the mix (excluding my own submissions): James Brown, Chris Isaak, The Eels, The Kinks, Low, The Flaming Lips, The New Pornographers, Widespread Panic, Tom Waits, The Pretenders, Brave Combo (Ave Maria).

In other words, I pretty much liked all of it. :P

[Boner M]

Kinda wish I chose an actual song rather than a muckabout interlude. Still, it makes a nifty opener. Good job Saya.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Vince Guaraldi Trio - Christmas Time is Here [with vocals]

[bac0n]

Wow, every time I hear a Brave Combo song, I can't help but think how riotously fun they must be live. Great call, Russ.

[Benny Profane]

So how do I go about accessing all these songs and putting them in my itunes?

Leave no step out, as I am quite an idiot and not computer strong.

Are they on a computer already? You'll just have to click and drag.

For CDs, same deal.

iTunes is very user-friendly.

They are listed on page 1 of this match-cut thread. Click and drag doesn't seem to be an option.

You have to click the link to megaupload provided in the first post. There, you download the file to your computer. It will come as a zipped file, so you will need WinZip to extract the songs to a new folder. Then, simply open the folder with all the songs and drag and drop into iTunes.

Much obliged.

[Saya]

Yep, all the songs you drag & drop in iTunes should form an album automatically. If everything works like it should, then you won't need to change a thing.:)

[Thirdmango]

Seriously this is super cool, and usually I don't like christmas music but this album I do like. Good work all. I can't wait for the next mixtape.

[monolith94]

Sorry guys, but I just can't bring myself to listen to the Beat Happening, Brave Combo, and D.A.D tracks more than once. And that's not really Dylan, is it?

[Saya]

That is really Dylan. It is from one of his radio shows that he did a while back.

[D_Davis]

Dammit - I didn't know Weezer put out a Christmas album this year. It's actually pretty cool. Check it out, if you like Weezer. O Holy Night is especially awesome.

[D_Davis]

That is the worst Beat Happening thing I've ever heard.

[Acapelli]

That is the worst Beat Happening thing I've ever heard.
you obviously haven't heard the song the this many boyfriends club

or you have and just forgot about it

[Boner M]

That is the worst Beat Happening thing I've ever heard.
But it captures the spirit of Christmas so well. :pritch:

[D_Davis]

You're right. I did forget.

You know, I used to like this band. But today, after re-listening to some of their stuff, I don't think I do anymore.

[Russ]

Merry Christmas (http://www.aroundmd.com/whitechristmas/), everyone.

[keyinblack]

just about any song by the walkmen

[Russ]

bump (the link's still good)

[Adam]

No Fairytale of New York (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCr30OVMjHA)?!

You guys stink

[Russ]

Wow, every time I hear a Brave Combo song, I can't help but think how riotously fun they must be live. Great call, Russ.
