That's funny because from the begining I wanted "Feels like the first time" to close out the second CD. It's a solid close out song. Good intro, good pace, good ending. I thought opening with Tenacious D was riskier.

I guess not every one is as big a fan of 80's arena/big hair, sythesizer rock as I am. So cheesy, yet so awesome at the same time!

i remember when i was in highschool i went on this "date" actually takin this chick to some concert that i can't even remember at the notre dame convocation center. all i remember is that my glasses broke a couple days before and in those days it took like two weeks to get new lenses so when we were at the show i couldnt see a thing, plus i was driving without them and couldnt see a frickin thing. also, before we left she just had to play me the first foreigner album. i hated that shit then with a passion. of course, now i can listen to that stuff and remember fondly how much i hated it. i can remember how passionate i was back when i was young. so now i have a nostalgic fondness for my hatred of foreigner, journey, styx and all other arena rock groups of that era. kick out the jams motherfuckers!!!

A few years ago when I was in school, Foreigner came to the Lane County Fair. As I was working at the ice rink on said Fairgrounds I got to meet them before the show....WOW, time has not treated those guys well. They seemed to have forgotten they were playing a county fair in Eugene, Oregon and the fact it actually wasn't 1985.

Got a CD from Bronson on Saturday. Played the first few tracks on my way to work this morning. So far, so good. My finals are over and I have until the 30th to submit my boards to the competition, THEaquino can expect a CD in a week or so. Steven, I never received a CD from Crowbert from the last swap. Not sure if he's still around.

May 14, 07 9:51 am  ·

since you missed the last one, send me your address via archinect-mail and i'll copy you with this one, chili.

steven, no word from crowbert. i'll be happy to get a cd from you, i'll email you my address.

i'm mailing my 'one' mix to quixotica today.

May 14, 07 9:59 am  ·

i thought i had crowberts address but i cannot find it. i owe him for the opposites cd. anyway email crowbert and i'll send u a "one" cd. hi aml!

listened to mine in the car and i gotta make a couple of changes as two older songs are just not mixed hot enough to go with the other tracks. it may take a day.

Quixotica - I just checked my mailbox and received your disc. So far, so good. You get my seal of musical approval. Mil gracias.

May 14, 07 9:53 pm  ·

aml

ok, i emailed crowbert and told him he should show up here or be skipped on the swap. steven, you should have gotten an email from me today [i replied to one of your mapa emails, so it may not be in your usual archinect address].

anyways. and quixotica, yours is on the way. i'm sort of hoping crowbert doesn't show so i get those 2 cd's from steven. ehem. hi vado!

May 14, 07 10:03 pm  ·

okay listening to the final mix again. had to watch that show about alexander hamilton, who had a drunk father and a prostitute mother and was orphaned at 13 and was running a shipping business at 15 in st neves or whatever it was called. by 21 he was washington's aide de camp. a bit of ambition and being born a genius goes a long way. to bad he wasn't a better shot.

May 14, 07 11:16 pm  ·

i also listened in the car today. i have to say that it's strange, not knowing crowbert or aml (much) that when i listen to my mix while imagining crowbert as the audience and when i listen imagining aml as the audience, it sounds different. made some changes, but not much.

May 15, 07 7:59 am  ·

quixotica

Glad you liked it n_. it's definatly a different type of mix than i usually make. very nostalgic for me, thinking back on exactly where i was when i first heard all those songs. I'll post my little blurb and playlist tomorrow once i know vado got the mix.

I'm excited about my disk aml, and the wait as it travels across the continent will just make the reward that much more sweet!

i was listenin to the cd that aml sent me on the way to work today. the strange looks a forty something white boy gets when listening to spanish language rap music is priceless.

Yo peeps, don't skip me - I am finally getting to the last one, but have been slammed (SLAMMED!) at work this last, umm, basically 3mo. - But I am good for it, yes, indeedy.

May 15, 07 12:45 pm  ·

if you didn't get my email, crowbert, send me your address via archinect-mail.

send me your address crowbert. i owe you a compact disc.

May 15, 07 1:12 pm  ·

aml

vado, i aim to please.

quixotica, you better lower your standars right now. this cd swap sort of caught me in a hurry.

crowbert, i'll email you later with my address.

steven will you change it back? i'm curious, what changes had you done to 'fit' me? i'm almost afraid to know.

May 15, 07 3:42 pm  · 
 · 

probably a misstatement, or misworded. the changes were just to make the cds better.

the listening was just a little shifted in the things that i was thinking about as i listened: language (esp idiomatic speech), setting (kentucky/ecuador), musical style (esp country), and gender. none of these things made me change it, just hear it differently.

so, no, i won't change it back.

May 15, 07 3:59 pm  ·

that makes a lot more sense.

ok crowbert, just sent you my address.

Chili's - your cd is finally on its way - any changes to the addy you sent?

Okay, so its been a bit overdue, buts I gots it here in my greasy hands and I gots to say, I likes it so much I made one myself. Why the pluralities? Don't know, perhaps its all the Sharpie fumes...

aml - trust me, yours will be quicker - I already have got a head start on yours...

Ok here is the track listing i sent to n_ and Vado (hopefully he got it by now)

First Impressions

Inspired by the "One" theme, I made a cd of the first song I ever heard from each band on the list. Obviously i could have put anyone on there but there was something about these songs, the mood i was in when i heard them, where i was, how loud the radio was turned up in my car, whatever it was, i can pinpoint exactly where I was when I heard each and every one of these songs for the first time.

1. Round One - Youngblood Brass Band
2. Daft Punk is Playing at My House - LCD Soundsystem
3. Jarvis Cocker - Washington Social Club
4. Devil Town - Bright Eyes
5. Dark was the Night - Blind Willie Johnson
6. Road Signs Always Look Better Looking Over Your Shoulder - Defiance, Ohio

crowbert, maybe i shouldn't say it [to pressure you into sending me a cd] but you're being more responsible with this than most- meaning most people that fail to send their cds for a past cd swap usually just skip it and move on. it's cool of you to send past cds, i'll happily wait for mine.

quixotica, did you get mine? or was it so awful you'd rather not mention it? i really did it in a hurry... sorry bout that. but there's a 'theme', i swear... what worries me about this one is i picked the songs because of their title [not so much the songs themselves] and decided to let chips fall where they may.

i got vado's mix just in time to take it with me on this weekend's memorial day roadtrip to memphis. good stuff. love ALMOST every song.

the mix that i'm going to be sending out is complete, but my computer at home crapped out last week and i haven't been able to get it up and running yet. another 4-5 trips to compUSA for the wrong parts ought to do it, and then these things 'll be on their way!

Listened to my mix in the car this morning. Just a minor tweak to do - I'm removing the Bread song and instead putting in a track from one of the CD's I picked up in Iceland two weeks ago - fresh Icelandic rock instead of stale (pun intended) Bread - I think you'll like it Cris (and Steven and vado too)!

THEaquino, since I've been out of town I've not been listening - but this week while pumping CAD I'll put disc 2 in for sure!
