recently, due to a mixture of boredom and untapped creativity, i've started creating "mixtapes" on iTunes which have some sort of overarching theme to them. So, i thought it might be fun to start a thread where people can think up their own themed mixes and post them. And maybe i'll get a few new ideas for themes as well
Various ideas might be: songs with a certain word in the title, songs where the title is a question, songs with a boy's name in the title. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, you could try to make a mixtape which shares a certain lyrical theme: songs about home etc.
here's a couple of my own creation:
"Dead Songs" (surprisingly enough, it contains a lot of punk/metal) Mr Bungle - Everyone I Went To High School With Is Dead Death From Above 1979 - Dead Womb Evangelicals - Here In The Deadlights Sufjan Stevens - They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From The Dead!! Ahhhh! Shape Of Broad Minds - It Aint Dead!! Gravediggaz - Deadliest Biz High On Fire - Death Is This Communion Future Of The Left - adeadenemyalwayssmellsgood The Dillinger Escape Plan - Dead As History Do Make Say Think - The Landlord Is Dead The Birthday Party - A Dead Song Sonic Youth - Death To Our Friends Hella - The Ungratefull Dead The Tuss - Death Fuck Dick Dale - Death Of A Gremmie
"The Spectrum" (see what i did here?) Soft Machine - All White Booka Shade - In White Rooms Matthew Herbert - White Bread, Brown Bread Big Star - Life Is White Royal Trux - Yellow Kid Ghost - Water Door Yellow Gate Metro Area - Orange Alert Sonic Youth - Orange Rolls, Angel's Spit Squarepusher - Orient Orange Faust - Title 5 (Duck A L'Orange) Stevie Wonder - Golden Lady Yeasayer - Red Cave Tomahawk - Red Fox Pierre Bastien - Tender Red Net The Chills - Pink Frost Boris - Pink Prince - Purple Rain The Gun Club - Desire By Blue River Shape Of Broad Minds - Electric Blue Roxy Music - Out Of The Blue Robert Wyatt - Out Of The Blue Curtis Mayfield - We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue The Cramps - Green Door Sonic Youth - Green Light The Fall - Green Eyed Loco-Man Madlib - The Forest (Greens) John Maus - Green Bouzard The Pogues - A Pair Of Brown Eyes Bearman - Brown Bear Picnic Slaughter Mob -Black Hole Martini Bros - The Biggest Fan (Black Strobe Mix) The Dillinger Escape Plan - Black Bubblegum British Sea Power - Blackout Burning Spear - Black Wa-Da-Da Big L - All Black Lil' Wayne (feat. Juelz Santana) - Black Republicans Sufjan Stevens - They Also Mourn Who Do Not Wear Black (For The Homeless In Muskegon) Bark Psychosis - The Black Meat
remember kids, sequencing is the most important part of any mixtape. And in case you were wondering: yes, i am very bored
