quixotica

wow, first comment on page 8. nice.

but also, it should really be UNsignups are this friday. Cause I'm basically going to take the people from the last swap list and add in the ones who have requested to join. If you don't want to be in this next round please specifically state that. (here, not at my email address)

Awesome, I'm in! But wait, if it's opposites, does that mean if I say I'm in I'm actually out? Do I need to tell you I'm out so I'm actually in?? Wait, I'm so confused....

when i was in junior high we developed an opposite language. the worst thing you could be was "too neat" which translates into "you're a total loser" i'm out. i mean i'm in...

i'm in/out. i'm (not) starting right now.

to get you guys primed, here's the sesame street opposite song. pretty racy if you ask me.

I go up, you go down
I go in a straight line
You go round and round
I go over and under, you go through
Tell me why do you always do the opposite
of what I do?

I go left, you go right
I travel in the daytime
You prefer the night
Wherever I go away from, you go to
Tell me why do you always do the opposite
of what I do?

Well, when I come in honey, you go out
You’re sure of yourself and
I am filled with doubt
When I want more, you give me less
When I say no, you say
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Honey, you hang loose
And I’m uptight
You know I’m heavy, baby
and you are light
When you stay false, how can I stay true?
Tell me why do you always do the opposite
of what I do?

quixotica, i don't know if you saw it, but i did get your cd, thanks! liked it a lot, a good jumpstarter. i'm not sure about going in this time, but i guess if the deadline is after the holidays, i could do it... i'll probably need to find some new tunes though.

Steven, I listened all the way through to the serendipitous "Design Music" mix last night - it was quite enjoyable, and decent working music!

spaceghost's awesome post on the Baby Come Back video has inspired me to make sure this swap is still alive - I need to haul out a bunch of my Time-Life 20 Solid Gold Soul cd's and put together a soul mix!

Nov 21, 06 9:58 pm  ·

hey, quixotica, to whom shall i (not) send my collection of songs that doesn't (not) have an opposites theme?

I am raring (sp?) to go on this one too, but I think quixotica may just be too busy with school (right?) to handle it - he hasn't posted in a month - I'd say if no list is up by 20 December (school should be done by then), Steven, you should take over.

Sorry, so sorry - what a dork. It's like 60 degrees in my house and I'm trying to finish a drawing but my hands are freezing so I mis-posted. SO sorry.

I was trying to say even when I'm in a lousy mood this one song - Toots and the Maytalis singing "Take Me Home Country Roads" - can really perk me up.

Back to the site plan.

i signed up for this once, and got a cd from someone that did not work in my cd player.

i never sent one out to whomever i was supposed to, and felt like a real jerk. but managed to block it from my mind.

however, i do happen to have a whole batch of cds to give to special people this holiday season.

they are not winter songs, or holiday songs, or my favorite songs of 2006. it is just a mix, and if anyone wants one, you can e-mail me your address.

hey everyone! I'm back! I am so sorry about being gone, and leaving everyone in the lurch. My life has been completly insane over the past month, not because of school actually but a variety of different reasons. some of the highlights include getting engaged, getting a new job and totalling my car, so yeah, it's been a little hectic. Anyway, I promise i will have the list up by the end of the day today.

Thanks Steven. To make up for my recent untimeliness, i'm posting the list right now. It's getting to the point where some of you may have a person you've had in the past. I verified that no one had the same person they had during the last swap but beyond that it's too much to go check. if you do have someone you had before, think of it as catching up with an old friend. . .that you've never actually met.

Theme: Opposites Attract.

Due date: who the hell am i to give a due date out right now? i say sometime in january.

Dec 19, 06 10:42 am  ·

sent my two new discs to wilsonjd on tues: yin yang (clockwise) and yan yin (counter-). the opposites theme was followed loosely, but the interaction of opposites suggested by yin yan is always interesting to me, so i kind of took it that direction.

wilsonjd will have to be patient with my recent digging out of my music from the 80s, but there's also a variety of other things. he might have to use the ffwd button liberally. will post the list when i hear he's got it, as usual.

Actually wislonjd did send to me for the last swap, but I love the music he sent so I don't mind getting another one from him! However, wilsonjd, if you want to switch around so you're not sending to me again, that's fine - maybe you send to quixotica and I send to you? That might work....

Guess I got the first of round 4(I think round 4?) . . .

Steven, got the cd's yesterday. Fifty years of opposites. Its great! Havent heard Tones of Tail in awhile. I'm a sucker for Peter Murphy, so I enjoyed the Bauhaus spinoffs. Same with John Doe ... big fan of X. 'If 6 was 9' was brilliant. Wish I had thought of that one. I also liked the liner notes - made it a bit more personal. Thanks again!

quixotica, got yours started, hopefully will be in the mail this week.

Okeydoke, my CD is ready to go!

My "Opposites" theme started as a collection of originals plus covers, but as I worked on it I realized I was more interested in differing production values - the raw and the cooked, so to speak. Then I realized most of what I was selecting were songs that sound either very produced, or sound very raw, but actually may be a combination: a tightly choreographed live performance, an aching raspy vocal over a delicate string composition. And since I don't know music very well, these readings of the songs may all be in my mind. But in any case it's a fairly broad mix of songs, I think, and I sure love listening to it.

However, I'm not sure who to send to, as my modified-swap idea above doesn't work out...if wilsonjd got one already from Steven, I shouldn't send to him - so I'll go ahead and send to quixotica as per the original list. But if he's getting one from wilsonjd...

...hell, anyone who wants email me your address and I'll send you a cd. Steven, you can pick your copy of it up Sunday, and vado, when I sign your papers I'll give you a copy too. (Let's hope that is soon, damned paperwork!)

quixotica and wilsonjd, look for my email because even if I sent you one before I'm not sure I still have the address.

Sucks that I'm 2500 miles away (nearly 4K usually)

I love to hear covers...my favourite at the moment being Tori Amos version of Smells Like Teen Spirit

Quite frankly I should be focussed on exposing you to intense reggae music beyond Marley, Tosh or Jimmy Cliff.

Despite studio pressures, a greater work load, and trying to save a library, I do have a CD put together. I had a hard time follwoing the theme of opposites, so I just made a mix of what I'm listening to right now. I'm just awaiting a shipping address. No rush though, it will give me some time to make a label and some cover art!
