The Pipettes song is the one I can't wait to listen to again, but there was a lot of good stuff on there.

What's this African song I'm listening to? This continuous mix thing is so very, very cool.

The music video is just as addictive.

Good stuff! Only one song didn't work for me (Op Til Månen by Hookah).
Sorry, Lasse.
Congrats, everyone else.

Listening, and shaking, now.
Yeah, I'm gonna be making a point of checking out the Pipettes.

That's cool - don't really care for the song though.
Good mix, B.
Fun stuff.
Agree. I even like Lasse's choice. Not a clunker in the bunch, imo, but I'm sure that has as much to do with our esteemed Mix Master bac0n as much as anything.Quoting Daniel Davis (view post)
This was a tough crowd to please and bac0n passes with flying colors. What can he do for an encore? And how long do we have to wait for #2 in the series?
Smashing success, this mix, with pats-on-the-back for all contributors.
Well, allow me to poop on the party a bit. After giving the entire thing one listen, I've come to two conclusions:
First, techno music is indeed, for the most part, one boring ass genre of music, as I've pretty much always suspected.
Second, Match Cut and I, on too many occasions, dance to different tunes.
That song by The Field would be good music to sleep to, but has no business on a dance mix. Same goes for a couple other of the ambient techno whatchamacallems. They put me in a trance, and in no way made me want to dance. Also, I don't like Bjork. There. I said it.
Still, a very cool mix, and kudos to Bacon for going above and beyond. Well done sir.
I'll do a continuous mix next. We'll wait a few days so people can enjoy this one.Quoting Russ (view post)
I'll have to come up with a theme though...
Any suggestions?
Aw, shucks.
A mix is only as good as the songs it contains. I got rather lucky inasumchas there was a lot of convergence of the BPMs of the songs. Most of the songs in the beginning third were in the 104-108 BPM range, most of the songs in the middle half hovered around 125 BPM, making mixing very easy. The only huge outlier, ironically, is Lasse's song, which is why I was forced to queue it up instead of trying to mix it in. Same with Prince & The Pipettes. They were in the middle 140s.
Thanks for the kind words everybody. I'm glad you enjoyed listening to it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

I've been toying with the notion of having a Match-cut-Songs-for-dreamdead-and-thefourthwall's-wedding-reception (in which there will be no dancing, just excellent food and conversation). But, I haven't yet taken time to figure out how to work the megauploader, etc. However, that theme may not work for a continuous mix, and would in no way be offended if it was not used--I'll just figure out how to do the mix thing myself and do a thread at a different time.Quoting Daniel Davis (view post)
I can submit a song now that I've made a bunch.
These Match Cut Mixes are super awesome. I can't wait for the next one.
