::REVIEWS:: 2013 Secret Mixtape project

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

Dr Van Nostrand, did you have something to do with my mix?

Yes Sir

so you were already familiar with head and the heart and Dr. Dog? i didnt do any research but was hoping id open up some new bands for you

Thanks man...this mix is pretty awesome, thank you for taking the time to making it.

And you know what? Its awesome because its not my usual kind of music...its very mellow and acoustic, and yes...after listening to Down In The Valley i downloaded the first Head and the heart LP...so, yes...your mix is a success.
Also, very surprised on how much i liked that Tegan and Sara song.

very cool to hear, i loved what i put together(though im sure everyone loved the mixes they made) and listened to it 3 or 4 times before i decided to finalize it, and the only song i thought about replacing was the Deer Tick song near the end, it sounds a bit off the way the bass distorts, but that whole album is like that but its such a great album if you havent heard it.

any bands on there you dont know yet?

Hell a lot of them...can you give me the tracklist?

yep, but not right this minute, i left the list at home, but will listen through it real quick on my lunch break in a bit and get it for you.

nearly two hour mix

Wow. I thought eighty minutes was the limit.

You're a trooper to sit through anyone's two hour mix. I don't think I'd be able to.

I hope LMS has figured it out by now, but it's actually about 80 minutes with a long gap near the end for the "hidden track".

[Jorge]

“Crown on the Ground” – Sleigh Bells: deeply unpleasant

I have never heard a song by this band that I didn't find unspeakably obnoxious.

Sourpuss. I think they're great.

[Alex]

great mix, 10/10, very moody, i don't recognize any of these songs. is it supernintendochalmers'?

[Alex]

this mix is expanding my boundaries in a way that is most welcome, because i'm both a curious and grateful person, unlike birds in hell.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Man, I'm sure glad I didn't draw spenno for this.

[Heathen]

Man, I'm sure glad I didn't draw spenno for this.

Spenno is one of the three people I would have liked to draw (another one is stip)

“Crown on the Ground” – Sleigh Bells: deeply unpleasant

I have never heard a song by this band that I didn't find unspeakably obnoxious.

Sourpuss. I think they're great.

I've only listened to 5-6 tracks from them but I've actively despised every single one of them. Maybe it's just a "wrong context" thing, but I don't think so.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I like that song "Tell 'Em" by them.

[Alex]

i almost made my mix the entirety of backspacer

I crashed last night at about 1hr10 thinking I had about 40mins to go. I'll give this another listen before I review it. A couple of surprises in here.

Was this Ruddo?

[Birds in Hell]

Man, I'm sure glad I didn't draw spenno for this.

I'm sure you wouldn't have picked Florence and the Machine.

I give up then and I apologise to both you guys.

[E.H. Ruddock]
