I'll briefly explain the concept for any newcomers. Mix tapes rule. Especially ones made by people with Really Good Taste (which we all obviously have). You want one, right? Of course you do! And you can have one, but you also have to make one for someone else. Everyone who participates in this "mix tape (or CD) exchange" makes one mix tape or CD for another random MB member and receives one mix tape or CD from a random MB member (the names are drawn out of Jamie Carroll's magic top hat). Absolutely anyone is welcome to participate. I'd especially love to see some of our new friends from the UK get in on the action. Anyway, the procedure is outlined below. You can check here and here for reference. Let me also just add that no one should feel intimidated about taking part in this. If you like the Features, then you obviously have a pretty good grasp of what great music is, so don't worry about what anyone here might think of your mix tape. Go ahead and put that Boston song on there. I always do.

To anyone who wants to be part of this new mix tape (or CD) exchange: e-mail me (btpatton@elvis.com) or PM me in the next week (by Sunday, February 22). In your e-mail or PM, please give your name and mailing address, as well as whether you want a tape or a CD and whether you prefer to make a tape or a CD. Shortly after the 22nd, I will e-mail or PM all of the participants back with the name and address of the person for whom you are making a mix, and also tell you who will be making a mix for you.

To anyone who never fulfilled their end of the transaction in the last mix exchange: you are not allowed to participate. I'm going to assume that everyone did do their part. If you didn't send your mix for whatever reason, e-mail or PM me and explain, and maybe we can work something out. If you were supposed to get a mix last time and your person never sent it to you, you can e-mail or PM me and tell me about it, and I'll put that person on the "banned" list.

Questions? Fire away. Otherwise, send me an e-mail or a Private Message and let's get this party started.

This is a two-day warning. The deadline to get in is Sunday night at midnight.

Thanks to everyone who's already signed on.

So, what's the count up to now?

17, including myself.

If this were at any other board, I'd love to participate, but since about 95% of the music I listen to is Tennessee-based, it'd all be old hat to you guys. Oh well...I guess I have enough on my plate, anyway.

I admit it! I didn't fulfill my previous mix cd obligation! I'll have to drop by and see ghostflower before it's too late.

Less than one hour left. If you want in, act now.

Hello there. It's almost time. I'll be putting up the list of who's making what for whom on Monday.

The following is a list of the people who have signed on for this go 'round:

(Edited by jamiecarroll at 3:02 pm on Feb. 23, 2004)

Okay, so here are the "results." I didn't feel like typing out "jamiecarroll is making a tape for ray davies" 27 times, so I did it shorthand. I hope ya'll can understand it. I'll be gald to clarify if you don't. I'll be PMing everyone shortly to give you the address of the person for whom you're making a mix. As with last time, there is no specific "time limit" for how soon you have to mail the person your mix, but just be courteous. And please, no one needs to feel any pressure about making a "good enough" mix. This whole thing is totally just for fun!

Thanks again, Jamiecarroll for organizing the ultimate messageboard bonding experience.

Wow, I feel like the moldy peace of bologna between two slices of vastly superior bread. Time to get crackin'!

This works out perfectly. I have promised JR a tape for over a year and now I have a reason to deliver.

I do believe that the gator always eats what its mouth is pointing to...

I got the best of all deals out of this.

Smee, who we all know has great taste, will make me a CD, while YaDaDaDa makes our CD for Featuresgirl (He's already made it and I very much like it, by the way).

For me: all play, no work.

I love marriage.

i, too, am very pleased with the outcome. thanks, jc.

Bowl of Fire is getting a boxed set.

hot diggity damn.

(Edited by Bowl of Fire at 11:21 pm on Feb. 24, 2004)

I feel like I have to live up to a higher standard because I got JC...I am breaking out the vinyl on this one...

ROCK

This is so exciting! Thanks JC! I can't wait to see what carl tortures me with. I also look forward to forcing my music upon someone-mix tapes are so much fun to make.

Well, I've struggled with whether or not to do this, but I think I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger. I'm subbing Ghostflower in for myself on the CD side of things.

As you may or may not have noticed, I had to put myself into the mix twice because there was an odd number of people involved. I had wanted Ghostflower to be the last piece, but I never heard from him yesterday. But since I did hear from him today, I'm going to go ahead and put him in. This will only affect Flat Chop To The Throat and JustAnotherDrive. Here is the ammended lineup:

I will be PMing Flat Chop and JAD with the pertinent information.

It doesn't get better than this. Seriously. I am still amazed by the strides in musical taste that Rachel made last year.

(Edited by richarddawson at 12:03 am on Feb. 25, 2004)

After going through my vinyl collection last night until 2:00 AM (over 600 records) it seems my mix CD will be at least a 2 CD set...Is this bad?

Yup. Our girl is growing up.

this is probably the biggest disaster of our age.

(Edited by SuperElk at 10:38 am on Feb. 25, 2004)

She's in for a treat. I can say from experience. I wonder if he'll record a special track just for her like he did for me.

Once we get our mixes this year, we should post about what we liked, and possibly put the tracklistings up or at least the highlights. This could lead to a discussion of new music that some people have never heard, which is always a good thing.

Upon making mine, I thought the same thing.

I was also thinking the exact same thing. Let's do that.

I didn't get that one...Dry humor?

yeah...the same sort of stuff that keeps getting me in trouble on this board. i really should be better at this by now.
i was just messin witcha.

yes, i am growing up! i did luck out on this exchange.

I didn't participate in the last exchange... and I guess this question is irrelevant anyway since I'm burning Neuboy's 2 disc story of a midwestern farmboy working in LA's seedy underbelly world of softcore porn, while plodding along thru life... but are these things supposed to have a theme!?!?!?

i believe its optional.

(Edited by rachel at 3:20 pm on Feb. 25, 2004)

Whatever you want.

cool

I was also thinking the same thing, but I of course assume that there won't be much positive about mine...except the packaging. The packaging is going to be nice.

I wrote a minireview for my last CD (under the original topic), but I think I was the only one. You people suck.

Carl, I'm shocked you didn't bother to make a link to the original thread. I didn't write a full review, but I acknowledged I liked Smee's mix. HeyItsBriggs acknowledged my effort, but said nothing of the quality, so sorry if my music sucks, SuperElk.

...and it is complete...

and it is great!!!

Glad you like it...

Just a suggestion: ask your buddy if they'll be at the march 12th show. That way you can save on postage.

In that case, Carl, you should spend 4 hours in a car and lots of gas money so you can come to Bluecats on the 24th and save me a coupla bucks.

man, i'm so upset that i missed out. maybe i could've gotten the mixed cd of death cab, forget cassettes, deftones, and pearl jam that i've always wanted!

All you have to do is ask, baby. But only if I can get a disc 76 minutes of people farting on a microphone. Or what do you call it? Noise/Art rock?

And for the record, Neuboy's mix didn't have any Deftones.

How many people have received thier CD's?

SuperElk won't get his for at least another week. I'm busy for once. Plus I have no idea what he likes other than Smashing Pumpkins and The Features.

i actually ran into the same problem with smee. it was even harder for me to find anything about what she likes. i wouldnt want a cd of bands i like already. show me something new. though i really havent heard much of the privates yet. if you want to add them in, i wouldnt be opposed.
some bands i like:
-smashing pumpkins.
-self.
-a tribe called quest.
-ben folds five.
-jimmy eat world.
-travis.
-the features.

and dont worry about being timely. thanks.

Bowl of Fire, it might be another week before you get yours. Sorry.

Neuboy's is done... I just need to do the artwork for the label and cover... unfortunately blathering on a band's message board is much more fun... give me the weekend.

RD, may I call you RD? I'm still working on yours. could be as long as a week. sorry. It's gonna be a double album if that's any consolation.

no problem at all, man. and yes, you may call me rd. I'm looking forward to receiving the package. hu huh huh

Made the CD, working on the packaging.

Featuresgirl...I am...becoming impatient...need CD...to survive...

*spoken with Captain Kirk inflection*

good news RD, I freed up some time in my busy schedule (read: I got off the couch and put down my cocoa puffs) and sent off your mix today. Two discs of pure bliss. Hope you enjoy!

That is awesome.
I wouldn't mind getting a not so good mix CD if that was the cover.
Not saying that yours is not so good.

(Edited by lupe mccracken at 9:49 pm on Mar. 9, 2004)

Thanks. Good call. Hopefully RD will feel the same way.

dude, that's fucking awesome!

man, that's the ultimate compliment! thanks!

I second that, herman. That is some truly stellar packaging.

Good Job!

You're in for a treat. Herm"dawg" has impeccable taste in music.

Carl, I was about to drop yours in the mail the other day when I saw all this fancy "cover art" bullshit going on. Expect something hand-drawn and highly pornographic.

(Edited by Bowl of Fire at 8:07 pm on Mar. 16, 2004)

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mindylieu got shafted on cover art. Shit, I didn't even label the disc or give her a tracklisting. My supreme mix makes up for it, though.

heh...heh...shafted

Thanks Alan. I totally agree.

ass.

(Edited by Bowl of Fire at 11:46 pm on Mar. 16, 2004)

I'm mailing my CD on Friday. I like it. I may make myself a copy.

Why are you ashamed? I feel so dirty now...


I indeed received a great mix-I really like the shiny silver cover of the cd. How did you achieve that? Is that spray paint?
Actually, I am a minimalist when it comes to art. I appreciate what Carl is trying to say by his lack of creativity.

I would comment on the tracklisting if I only knew...
I do believe Slack, Jimmy Eat World, DND, and The Cardigans among others made an appearance.

Has anyone received their mixes yet?

Yup.

Thanks, Smee (and perhaps exliontamer too) for such a great and lengthy mix.

My CD was two discs, 20 songs on each - 2 songs from each featured artist. I really liked that consistency.

Off the top of my head, here are some of the artists represented:

Blur
David Bowie
Gang of Four
Roxy Music
The New Pornographers
The Notwist
The Kinks
The Walkmen
The Lilys
Beulah
Clinic
Talking Heads
Death Cab for Cutie
Echo and the Bunnymen
...

And more that I can't recall right now because it's in my car.

As you can see, this is a superb piece of mix-CDing, and I'm enjoying it very much.

Thanks again, Smee!

nice.

I checked my mail for the first time in a while on Friday, so I apologize to herman for my procrastination in mail-checking.

Now for the meat...herman, you rule. great, great mix (2 CD's) of some stuff that I've been really curious about. namely...

Sweet
Franz Ferdinand (yes!)
The Stills
Snow Patrol
The Pretenders
Jesus & Mary Chain
Tom Waits

and it's very ironic that you put "Ice Age" by Joy Division on the compilation. The Warsaw version was going to be on my mix for BoF.

I really appreciate the time that you put into these CDs, herman. I am wearing them out. The Richard Dawson clips are hilarious. Thank you so very much. And though the recording industry can "eat shit and die", they will be getting some of my cash as a result of this compilation. I have some albums to buy...

(Edited by richarddawson at 6:01 am on Mar. 22, 2004)

Because of your love for the Mattoid, I've been meaning to recommend him to you.

Well, I was going to post a real review but since Carl demanded that I post a real review, I shall refrain. I hate it when people demand that I do something. Just like the TCBY workers demanding I give them a tip. What the hell do you get paid for??? You don't deserve a tip to hand me a cone of soft-serve!!!! Now if you make me an extra special sundae...


Ok, my happy thoughts of ice cream have caused me to post a review.
GREAT CD! Lots of music I had been wanting to hear.

18. ---->You're Pretty Good Looking (For a Girl)

THANK YOU!!! Now I know I'm stepping on some toes here, but it also pisses me off that Starbucks has a tip jar. It's like, you just gave me my change and you just made my coffee for me - why does a tip need to enter that equation? Obviously, if someone goes above and beyond the call of duty or does something extra-special, I want to give them a tip. But making coffee/working the register is what you're paid an hourly wage to do. It's not like with a waiter where their hourly rate is below minimum wage.

Tip jars are showing up everywhere these days...

I had a tip jar at Baskin Robbins. While I, by no means, deserved a tip, it really made me happy when we were very busy and I was very stressed and people would put a dollar in. When you keep screwing up its nice to feel like you're doing something right. However, it may have been best with no jar at all. Then no hard feelings when you make someone seven banana splits during rush and not a penny in the jar.

I'm not a fan.

I agree with everything that you said, Ben. I do tip my bartender, I have found...

we've had this exact discussion before

I'm in favor of bands having tip jars, though. I also think it'd be cool if bands had it where you could donate through PayPal. I think Courtney Love at one time supported an organization for that or something. I don't remember. Is this more of the same from the last time we discussed this?

Waiters get 20-40%, depending on how good the service was.

Bartenders get $1 per drink.

Bellmen get $1-2 per bag. Housekeepers get $2 per night.

Pizza delivery people get $1 per pizza, but a minimum of $2.

Strippers get $5-10 per dance.

What about Sonic waitresses? I sometimes go there on my break from work (it's next to Carmike) and I usually buy a 99 cent burger. This causes the total to be $1.09 which leaves, in my opinion, too much to just say "Keep the change." Is a "just give me 50 cents back" in order here? Probably so and I've just revealed how much of a cheap skate I am.

a 100% tip is a ridiculous idea if you ask me. i suggest you keep some quarters in your car so you can hand them 125 or 150 (even though tahts a 50% tip) without the awkwardness of the change exchange.

these seem low to me. i give the change of a 5 for a drink to bartenders and at least 2-350 for pizzas.

Are you old enough to drink???

I do tip my bartender...maybe I should treat my TCBY workers with the same respect. I guess I am more excited about my beer and more thankful to have a beer in my hand. Although I doooo loooove ice cream.
OO pizza-I have lots of friends in the pizza business and they want more than $1 because a lot of places don't pay gas wages.

I used to work at an ice cream store and I agree. It can be a tough gig. In between putting batches of ice cream, filling cake orders, cleaning up spilled cones, and helping spoiled kids sample every flavor in the place, a tip once in a while really helps.

RD, thanks for the great review. I'm glad you're enjoying the mix. Wear'em out!

News Flash: A lot of jobs are tough-- especially those that deal with people. That's why you get an hourly wage to do that job. If you're getting $2 bucks an hour, then yes, you should be getting tips (the more people you serve and the better quality of service, the more you get paid). If you're working an entry-level job that doesn't require any technical training or a college degree scooping ice cream for bratty kids, don't bitch about not getting more than $5 or $6 an hour. That's all you're worth. I worked in a kitchen at a yacht club doing all kinds of back-breaking, sweaty work and even worse-- ocassionally dealing with old rich pricks-- and I was damn happy to get that $5.50 an hour.

You shoulda seen the tips I made from the Features when I was shooting them... Roger kept stuffing $20's in my vest pocket like they were going out of style.

Verde should've gotten the hint... cheap bastards.

Do you do video or stills?

I still have not gotten my damn CD...

He did the new Features video.

I was talking about actual jobs, PF, not fooling around making movies.

Hey, it's hard work making Keith's crotch look so glam!

mindylieu's tape was excellent! a perfect mix of old favorites and great new songs, all set to a pleasant springtime theme.
i really am enjoying all the tracks and the flow of them in general, but some songs-that-are-new-to-me highlights in brief are:

"race for the prize" flaming lips
"your new cuckoo" the cardigans
"a summer waiting" belle and sebastian
"mel" the preservatives
"you showed me" the turtles
"what else could it be?" lambchop

and did i mention that the artwork was adorable? thank you, mindy!

For The Way It's Meant To Be? All I can say is "wow."

Incidentally, are there still plans for a "The Beginning (week one)" video?

nice. The remix is great too. Check it out!

I do tip at Sonic, but I can understand if some people don't. They aren't earning the $2.13/hr that waiters and bartenders are. But I have a soft spot in my heart for carhops. Digsy, I think that a "keep the change" with 2 dollars is in order. I think that asking for 50 cents back in that situation would be kind of rude.

No, a bartender is totally different than a barista or a TCBY employee. Bartenders earn $2.13 per hour. So they rely on tips for the majority of their income. TCBY, Baskin Robbins, and Starbucks EEs earn at least minimum wage ($5.15/hr) and in the case of Starbucks, at least $6.50/hr.

I always give the pizza guy at least $2, because I feel like a one dollar bill is kind of insulting in that situation.

Ditto the "wow"

Yay!!!! Glad you enjoyed it! I am really anal about the flow of tracks (like carl-but carl is anal in more ways than one) so I am glad that you enjoyed the flow of songs. It was great fun to make (and receive) and I am ready to do this again!!!

Ok good. I feel better now.

As far as the video goes-it is just OK. If you are into that. (can't give PF a big head!) When can we expect to see the beauty on tv?

Someone recently told me that car hops at Sonic only make $2.13/hour and rely on tips for income. However, I'm not 100% sure they're correct. Can anyone confirm? And do the skating car hops make more money?

They were lying motherfuckers. They get paid non-server wages. Skating car hops get tipped more, but no more salary.

I was also told this about two weeks ago...

My fellow concessionists tell me this after I don't tip the Sonic waitress. This could just be them trying to make me feel guilty, though.

Thank you for the compliment... as for as I know "The Beginning Video" is on permanent hold. Of course that may all change.

Excellent choice, mindy!!

Bowl of Fire will be getting some Turtles action on his CDs, which are now finished. I should have the money to mail them around the end of the week.

Herman, I will be sending you the same mix CDs in thanks for your excellent work on the CDs that you sent me.

(Edited by richarddawson at 10:02 pm on Mar. 30, 2004)

agreed.


rd, you are so thoughtful and sweet! you should send me a copy of the cds because you are so nice.

Shit, I guess I have to get off my ass and send Carl's mix now.

wow! thanks RD, i really appreciate that gesture.

By the way, Funnywalk, I finally checked my mail this morning after getting back from Seattle and found your mix. I can hardly wait. A review will follow...

while i've had my mixes from exliontamer for a while now, i'm just now really starting to get into them. they are all i have been listening to for the last couple weeks. i recieved three disks, with three songs from twenty artists. among my favorites are komeda, can, gang of four, the buzzcocks, broadcast, brian eno, randy newman, and roxy music. anyways, thanks again to him. i can't wait to go cd shopping. its been so long!

Our mixed CDs were somehow, inexplicably, related. I got two songs from twenty artists including komeda, gang of four, and roxy music. How did this happen?

Once again, smee. Mine kicked ass. Thank you much.

I'm just about ready for this mixed tape/Cd thing to happen again.

Jamie C, you are a goddess for arranging all of this!

AHEM!

eh, i still haven't gotten my mix yet. hint hint. ok.

I haven't recieved mine yet, either... but on the other hand.. I have Neuboy's sitting right here with Feb 22nd stamped on it... so I'm a lazy ass... sue me!!!

OK...it's time for me to play enforcer. If you have not made and sent the mix that you agreed to make and send, shame on you! Get off of your ass and do it right now! If you haven't gotten a mix yet, feel free to call out whomever was supposed to send it.

Also, I know that this is VERY belated, but I want to publicly say that the mix tape that Ray Davies sent me was off the chain! I loved it!

I still owe ghostflower a cd from the first time around.

I still haven't sent SuperElk's. I'm an asshole, but you will get it. I promise.

why thank you. your mix was very very good as well.

i suppose i'm far too late for any mix-tape action...will there be another one forthcoming? i can make the hell out of some mix-tapes. of course, i'm a bit of a music-nazi, so whatever tape i get would likely wind up being chucked from a car window or hammered into a fine powder, depending on how many songs by the darkness are on it...

Yep, I was lucky enough to get Ray's the 1st time & then Sadie's the 2nd time- Best Mix Tape Making Couple EVER! Special props for their ability to create a great flow of songs that are similar enough to make sense but different enough to stay interesting.

a big shout out to keith for an excellent cd.
if you were a girl, id ask you out.

i need more cornelious and papas fritas! STAT!

Thanks. Sorry again for it being 12 years late. The only Papas Fritas album I really like is "Buildings and Grounds." "Point" is my favorite Cornelius album, but Fantasma is really good too. Glad you're enjoying it.

I'm still waiting on mine. He said he made it and was going to send it, but I haven't seen it.

anybody else feel like it's about time for another go 'round?

yeah, me neither.

iTunes now has an iMix feature where you can make mixes based on songs in their huge(ish) library and post them. All the MB members with iTunes access could make mixes and put them up there for everyone to skim through and download.

Just an idea. I have a couple already up. My user name is digsy.

I still feel cheated from last year. He said he sent it, but I never got anything. and he said he sent it more than a year ago.

i didn't get mine neither.

i vote "yes" to round three

Who is this Ray Davies guy?

this topic is tired

We could put Christmas songs on the mix tapes!

Anybody else wanna facilitate it this time?

Maybe CarlW should earn his keep and do it.

How about a "Best of 2005" mix?
