Red Mosquito

I'm half way through and I agree Varis. There have been moments but it is a dischord and stuttering rhythm that is bothering me.

Mix tapes I've heard once, waiting for a 2nd listen before reviewing are Heathen's, Brett's, Plat's, AndySlash's.

Aw huh.

Alright, no review seems to be forthcoming for this one, so I'm just going to own up to it, and admit that this was my second mix, submitted at Lament's invitation.

The tracklisting:

1. No Nature - Falafel Western
2. Pas Chic Chic - Tes clichés déclenchés
3. Klum - Nonbeliever
4. TV on the Radio - King Eternal
5. L'embuscade - Memories of Ricardo
6. The Dead Science - The Future, Forever
7. The LRADs - Wormwrecker
8. Ought - Around Again
9. Deep Dark United - Nun or a Bawd
10. Pat Jordache - Steps (Damaged Goods)
11. Sigur Rós - Rafstraumur
12. Sackville - Invisible Ink
13. Akron/Family - Celestial
14. K.A.N.T.N.A.G.A.N.O. - Elvis in Shangri-La

I went through a couple of different "themes" while compiling this mix, though none of them were lending themselves well to a coherent and well put together mix. Strangely enough, the decidedly awful descriptor of "art rock" was the foundation for this set of songs, which somehow hung together better than anything else I was attempting.

Once again, I find that I am amused by my ability to pick music that is unsettling to a number of people. I think that discord that you guys are hearing in this is one part of what draws me to a lot of this music.

A review will happen, Brett. Apologies for the tardiness.

Yeah Brett, this is pretty poor on my part. I have listened through twice but not written anything worthwhile up as yet.

I do notice that you do like your tunes a tad "off kilter" for sures. That's cool, whatever floats your boat and all that.

No worries, guys. I was just sitting on the tracklisting for a while, and thought it would be nice to throw it out there for anyone interested. I also thought that my very loose concept might help out anyone who has been puzzling over why I put together the songs that I did.

It'd be cool to do mixtapes that only have bands from where you live
