Demo Mix Tape
You guys are the right people to ask ...
I want to make a playlist/mix tape of demos that either never became songs or are so different from the final product that they are pretty much a different song.
Here's what I have, and I can't figure out how to order them. Someone help me. Feel free to add anything I've forgotten.
Right now, it's 15 minutes too long, so feel free to kick something out. Just mention what you're kicking out.
Gossard Demos
7-Up (Pushing Forward Back)
Folk "D"
?
Touring Band 2000
Foldback
Harmony
Thunderclap
No Code
Small Mosquito (Red Dot)
Rarities Unreleased Cuts
Anything in Between
Wishing Well
Puzzle and Game (Light Years)
Sunburn
Avocado
Cold Confession
Let It Ride
2X4
The Only Cloud in the Sky
Open Door
Rearranged Furniture
Rearranged Priorities
10 Billion Years
Lucky 13
Breeze in D
Lightning Bolt
Pendulumorphisis (Pendulum)
soooooo ... Get to work!

Re: Demo Mix Tape
Maybe throw in more demos that actually became songs and split this into two discs.

Wishing Well is a cover so you can throw that one out to begin with.

The Acoustic song from PJ20
Then there's Chinese as well
Are you just doing studio recordings and not live takes?

Re: Demo Mix Tape
I could probably have my arm twisted into Of The Earth, but I think I lack a decent recording.

Re: Demo Mix Tape
it's going to be hard to cut 15 minutes unless you're just making quality judgments.B wrote:Maybe throw in more demos that actually became songs and split this into two discs.
Songs with fairy different demos include speed of sound, gone, and NAIS.
If you count covers where an official release never surfaced you can add I've got a feeling.. Now you're 35 minutes into disc II. Adding chinese and acoustic 1 you're over 40. Just go chronologically at that point and cut as close as you can to the halfway mark without dividing a session into two

A lot of this violated my original plan of trying to compile things that I didn't have on another album.hlniv wrote:Mookie Blaylock Demos -

Re: Demo Mix Tape
These were the rules as I understood them.
Rules are for squares anyway. So, nevermind, I don't care.
Does "becoming songs" equal "released officially"? Or does it mean made it onto an proper studio album (including Lost Dogs)?I want to make a playlist/mix tape of demos that either never became songs or are so different from the final product that they are pretty much a different song.

Re: Demo Mix Tape
Actually if you include most of what I put on there, I don't care about much of these other semantics.

Re: Demo Mix Tape
What about songs like Angel or Leatherman in that case?B wrote:A lot of this violated my original plan of trying to compile things that I didn't have on another album.
They're non-albums songs that didn't appear on Lost Dogs.
(Not to mention songs like Footsteps, Dirty Frank, Alone etc. which were on Lost Dogs but in a substantially different form than their original release.)

Re: Demo Mix Tape
I suppose this is a good time to mention that I'm currently working on a comprehensive update to JasonA's B-Sides & Rarities collection from a few years back.
It will also take in the EV solo rarities from joostone's Innocent Bystander compilation, as well as rips of songs featured on officially released DVDs but not available elsewhere (e.g. RITFW w/ Neil Young from PJ20 'The Kids Are Twenty' DVD, The Waiting w/ Tom Petty from his 'Running Down a Dream' DVD). At the moment it spans 10 PJ discs, plus 7 EV discs.
