Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[no country for old wainds]

always good when pompey wins, he is Thememaster. no pressure

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I'm gonna have to start downrating my own picks at this rate, it's becoming increasingly hard to think of themes I want to do.

The new theme is CONFUSION.

 

[no country for old wainds]

what does that entail, i'm confused

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Addendum: Epitaph is cheating.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Great theme, can imagine a nice breadth of relevant songs. Just remembered to submit something.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Only six submissions so far. Come on guys.

 

[CiG]

@Mort Divine? Missing your submissions.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Submissions coming in slow. Gonna call out some folks;

@H.P. Lovecraft
@Talos of Atmora
@Sirjack
@Serjeant Grumbles
@Funerary_Doom
@EspaDa
@Elric of Melniboné

Hoping to have a playlist up around this time tomorrow. Some interesting picks so far.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I'll try to think of a good track and message you today.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I'm confused at the lack of interest in this thread.

 

[Sirjack]

l'll hopefully think of one tonight..

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Just sent one in. Glad to be back in this

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Nine submissions so far. Let me know if you think I should keep waiting or just post the playlist. Still nothing from @Elric of Melniboné or @Sirjack .

 

[Vegard Pompey]

OK I think I have enough now.

[Elric of Melniboné]

Good. All the songs that I didn't want to submit because other people would do it for me are here.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Actually the song you *did* submit was also later submitted by someone else.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Interesting. It was my #4 pick and the other options are all here too. I wonder if the other submitter had the same idea.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Almost submitted "Ball of Confusion" by The Temptations, but figured eh. List looks bomb. Since I gotta wait twenty minutes for this goddamn train I'll start listening now.

 

[no country for old wainds]

shame the (imo superior) studio version of that dylan song still isn't on youtube. i wanted to submit it for the surrealism round. works just as well here though.

Broadcast - According to No Plan
Interesting and dreamy enough but I wanted it to do more. 6.5/10

Split Enz - One Step Ahead
Perfect early eighties pop/rock. I wish there was more music like this now. 10/10

John WIlliams - Usher Waltz
I'm definitely confused and this is fucking incredible. 10/10

Pixies - Where Is My Mind
Classic and awesome and perfectly on theme. 10/10

David Thomas - Semaphore
Talking Heads meets John Zorn or something and it's pretty good 8/10

Jamin Winans - Recognize
Nice but I haven't seen the movie so I have no idea if it fits the theme 5/10

Wipers - What Is
Pretty average old school punk. 4/10

The Who - I Can't Explain
Early Who rules 8/10

Gentle Giant - I Lost My Head
Horrible. Just really fucking horrible British 70's prog nonsense. The 3 minute intro made me want to saw my own head off with a blunt chainsaw but then thankfully it ended and I was all of a sudden full of hope for some good things.. but nope. 2/10

Buzzcocks - I Don't Know What to Do With My Life
Proper good old school punk 7.5/10

Tim Buckley - Hallucinations
He's no Jeff but this was pretty ok 6/10

Bob Dylan - Ballad of a Thin Man
Not usually a Dylan fan but this was good 7.5/10

Pretty damn interesting and enjoyable list for the most part, cheers
