(And before you say it, I know, but I don't like the mix forum.)

Found some old CDs from back in the day when I had my radio show in high school. These mixes bring back a lot of memories and remind me of where I was musically back when I first started posting on CMJ and starting getting recommendations from you bunch of clods. So basically, thanks.

Oh and by the way, they weren't made as mixes per se, but as material to play on the show that night so no attn is paid track order or multiple artist stuff. This was about playing a radio show, not trying to impress some lame chick.

So, these mixes were made like last year?

Thats exactly what I was thinking..and it also made me think, oh this explains so much

I don't think any of my high school and college mixes had the same artist twice on a mix. Though that was before recorded sound, so it would have been hard.

aw...ben kweller. how cute...

my high school mixes used to be full of stuff like Foo Fighters, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, and Warren G's 'Regulate'

in fact i still know every word to Regulate

prove it.

FUNK......ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL
THE RHYTHM IS THE BASS AND THE BASS IS THE TREBLE

I made mix tapes when I was graduating high school and they were shitty. Usually all the songs I wanted from CD's I borrowed from friends, so most of the mixes had no more than five or six different artist. I didn't start making proper mix cd's until I started downloading a ton of crap.

this was 2002/2003 people...not too long ago.

you all weren't listening to YHF and Yoshimi back then? Get serious.

I was 16 years old and just discovering music. We can't all be 30 and miserable...I leave that up to you stooges.

Come on dude, at least when people post old mixes they are sometimes funny due to their age. Yours are just boring.

At The Drive In, Cypress Hill, Radiohead, Jurassic 5, Pink Floyd, Beastie Boys, Flaming Lips as well when i was 15/16. I cant remember the last time i listened to ANY of these (except 'Regulate', which im listening to right now muthafuckas)

i would love to find some of the tapes that i made in high school, although it's probably all either EPMD or Helium and Tiger Trap and K records shit. Still, I'm gonna look next time I'm at mom's house.

I know they're just crap. I'm just lame. I didn't post this stuff to impress you guys.

If I wanted real friends I wouldn't spend so much time on an online message board (ahem)

gauchebag = 1

obners = 0

Well, you succeeded.

Then why did you post them? I understand that a lot of people have been giving you shit lately and not all of it is warranted. So I guess I can understand why you are on the defensive. But I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by implying we're all a bunch of losers who spend to much time online.

I don't think those mixes are awful and as you say most of us listened to yhf and yoshimi a couple of years ago. I think that's what ducky's pointing out is that its a little early to start feeling nostalgic for those albums and there isn't much else there that is either new or forgotten. It just seems to be a bit of a masturbatory exercise cause you're bored at the moment, no? just my 2 cents.

My friend just found some old mixed cd's from when we were fourteen and fifteen skateboarding in front of our friend's house all day.

We listened to one and were hitting the skip button non-stop. Propagandhi, Anal Cunt, Goldfinger, MxPx, old NOFX, etc.

Pretty painful to listen to today.

i was just in my basement, and found my box of tapes. i believe this is the first mix (tape) i ever made...way back when i was a high school senior. not a miserable 32 year old.

side one:
the the - uncertain smile
janes addiction - classic girl
senator flux - canadia (i have to admit to having no fucking idea what this is)
charlatans uk - me. in time
james - born of frustration
blur - there's no other way
robyn hitchcock - she doesn't exist anymore (fuck, i'd forgotten about this song...)
psychelic furs.until she comes
the la's.timeless melody
the stone roses.standing here
swervedriver.lead me where you dare

side 2:
the cure.just like heaven
matthew sweet.evangeline
the smiths.how soon is now?
ride.twisterella
siouxsie & the banshees.the passenger
nine inch nails.down in it
chapterhouse.precious one
teenage fanclub - star sign
B.A.D. II - innocent child (yeeesh)
REM - fireplace
the cult - she sells sanctuary

ok, so it tails off at the end there, but i have to say...i still listen to and enjoy 75% of these artists 15 years later.

damn, i really wish i had a tape player so i could hear this one...also from senior year:

side 1:
primal scream.movin' on up
paris angels.too easy
chapterhouse.falling down
curve.coast is clear
charlatans.indian rope
primal scream.higher than the sun
spacemen 3.when tomorrow hits
chapterhouse.inside of me

spiritualized.any way that you want me
charlatans.you can talk to me
candyflip.aqua libra

side 2:
charlatans.who wants to know
spacemen 3.billy whiz
primal scream.damaged
my bloody valentine.soon
new fast automatic daffodils.big
inspiral carpets.st. kilda
blur.fool
lush.hey hey helen
ride.sennen
inspiral carpets.the wind is calling your name
paris angels.gbf

This thread totally made me rummage through a box of tapes instead of going to sleep. Crap. I think this mix was made just after high school ended:

First of all, if I wanted advice on masturbatory exercises I'd ask Dalen's wife.

Secondly, if you read the original post...these aren't mixes I listened to at the time. This were made for the express purpose of playing some of these songs on my radio show at the time. You see, in 2002, there warn't such a thing as an ipod, so I burned CDs when I wanted to listen to music. This wasn't a mix tape to give to somebody...

And as far as feeling nostalgic for my high school days (which yes, only ended three years ago), fuck off. I'm at home with my family for 3 weeks out of the whole year and I just attended three graduation ceremonies in two days, saw a bunch of old teachers, and stumbled upon these old cds that I haven't seen in 3 years.

It amazes me how negative some of us love to be...take an example from Gordo and go look at some of your old mix tapes. Or be like Timis (God Bless Him as per the thread) and comment positively on something. God forbid I don't start a thread about Radiohead, because obviously it would get shat on anyway.

And I'm not on the defensive, I'm bored. In 5 days I'll be all over Turkey like flies on curry, maybe then I won't waste my time trying to entertain/bore the peanut gallery.
