Match Cut Mix Tape Volume 7 - Shake Your Booty

[Sven]

Everything that man touches turns to gold.

I would say one of the three greatest pop/rock musicians evah.

[D_Davis]

Empire of the Sun - Half Mast

Fun!

[Spinal]

"Triumph of a Heart" - Bjork

[Watashi]

The Pipettes - Pull Shapes

[thefourthwall]

Let's all enjoy this while I contemplate.

That was thoroughly enjoyable.

Okay this is ridiculously hard; I'll admit that when I need energetic upbeat music to get me on the dance floor or for exercising I often turn to pop du jour or the neo-punk of the early 00's and my college years. However, for this mix, I submit

"Hello" by The Cat Empire

whose music I think is scientifically impossible to sit still to.

[Russ]

Plastikman - Fuk

[bac0n]

Okay, I think I'm gonna allow one more, so that with my wild card, we come to an even 20. Thanks for the submissions so far, folks! I think this is gonna be a fun one!

[EvilShoe]

Fun!

It is!

Good pick with The Field by the way. I went to quite the ordeal once to see him perform:

1. I got kicked out at a venue because security thought the stamp on my hand was fake
2. I nearly got punched when I told them they were wrong
3. I had to beg at the entrance for nearly half an hour, which wore those people out as they gave me a new stamp and let me back in
4. Five minutes I got kicked out again because I still had the old stamp on me
5. I got let back in but was told if I were to leave the building again I wouldn't be allowed to gain re-entrance.

As you can imagine, I was in a bad mood by the time he performed. But I still enjoyed it. So he did fine.

So, I was playing around with some of the songs, making an initial stab at mixing them to get some ideas of good mixing and breaking points, determined the BPMs, etc, and I must say, a lot of the songs fit very nicely together. I have a good feeling about this!

[Acapelli]

if there's still room, i'd like to choose

Aeroplane - Whispers feat. Kathy Diamond

EDIT: forget whispers

Dinosaur - Kiss Me Again

there's an edit that's 7 minutes that you might like to use instead of the 12 minute mix

Not a problem. That will take up the final slot. Thanks for the heads up on the version.

So - everybody, I have a few people I'm working with to get my hands on the more obscure of the selections. After I have everything, give me a week to get the DJ set finished and posted. A few days after I post the DJ set, I'll post the tracks as individual files.

In the mean time, there are a few of you who are really talented with making album covers. If any of you are game for making one, I'd love to see it!

[D_Davis]

I have an album cover idea for this one. I'll work on it tonight or tomorrow.

I think you'll dig it.

Sweet, I'll be looking forward to seeing it.

Quick Status Update:

I now have all the songs I need. Special thanks go out to Russ, Derek, Lasse & Acapelli for helping me get my hands on a few of songs I couldn't find on my own.

What's next, you ask? I need to get pretty familiar with these songs to know what their best mix-in and mix-out points are, and more importantly, to figure out what order they should go in. The best mixes sound like one continuous song, and that's what I'm shooting for here. I'll be spending the next few nights, after the kids are in bed, in the basement doing just that.

Then, I'm gonna proceed to the mixing. I'm gonna do 3-5 of them, pick the best one, and that's what I'm going to post. The goal is to have something for you to listen to a week from today, Friday May 8th.

Sound cool?

Awesome.

By the way, you can cut the last 25 seconds from my song, as it only serves as a tie-in for the next song on his album. It'd be a better transition to whatever song will follow mine on the mix without those 25 secs.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Disco-Tex and the Sexolettes - Get Dancin' (check it out on youtube, if you don't know it)

[Thirdmango]

Seriously Bac0n, you're my hero.

[Lasse]

This sound so brilliant. Good luck.

[Spinal]

Eagerly anticipating. Thanks for working on this.

A Paw in My Face, by The Field

Minimalist electronica at some of its finest.

This song is just.. wow.

[Derek]

This song is just.. wow.

You haven't heard From Here We Go Sublime!? Pretty much every track is about as amazing as that one. Go get it now! You'll love it.
