iwz #17.1 iwz

oh wow. that looks like a lot of work. i'll see what i can do

jp #17.1.1 jpOG 2003

is there a way i can do it on the ftp?

i was just providing that for your own general enjoyment so you could maximize your listening experience

iwz #17.1.1.1 iwz

You'd have to fix it in your iTunes (by duplicating all of the mp3s, and adding them into iTunes and then fixing the album/compilation/track numbers), and then upload all the new files to the FTP.

jp jpOG 2003

oh wow. i dont think anyone really cares enough for that :) if anyone really wants em, ill burn you a cd

jp jpOG 2003

these are all fixed and re-uploaded...winter mix is up too. i think we should totally share our mixes we make. get to work guys. mix sharing = good times.

malibu malibuOG 2001

"mix tapes are very tricky. because you're trying to convey a message with some one else's poetry."

superhero superheroOG 2004

where have i heard this before? high fidelity?

malibu malibuOG 2001

jp jpOG 2003

superhero...i am so bummed. jacks mannequin is playing at ramapo, in the hall that i saw nightmare of you play. it holds like 250 people, tops. and i just called, its sold out. i could have gotten tickets if i went down to the college box office a few weeks ago.

B
brothermanOG 2004

250 people....wow....they're really selling out the house....That's pretty bad when they can only fill a building twice the size of our kingdom hall. LOL

iwz iwz brotherman

have you ever been to a small show? they're 250 times better than a huge show at Giant's Stadium or something.

B
brothermanOG 2004 iwz

I have been to zero shows in years. I'm stuck at home with two rats. haha...

jp jpOG 2003 iwz

yeah these are the shows that you kick yourself for when you dont get tickets.

forrestina #11 forrestinaOG 2002

jp #10 jpOG 2003

I mean you have a hot body and all,bu this music mix made me really want to hug you...

haha i just meant its really good, i'm not ghey. I don't think. I mean my female relationships never work out cuz they are either crazy or liars or tarts. But now I live alone and mostly hang out with guys. I mean there are a few girls i talk to, but lets face it, its not gonna work out. And mikes married so oh well.

I really hope everyone finds the humor in this. Its pretty sad that i have to quantify it as such..

thefunkyfresh #7.1.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

lol pat u really are artie lange

hunkpapap #7.1.1.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

i've heard that a lot

jp #7.2 jpOG 2003

ever since you played jimmy olsens blues on the way back from the quickbuild, its been in my head.

thefunkyfresh #7.2.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

haha... love that song. actually this is the mix rachel was listening to that day

jp #6 jpOG 2003

this is a good thread. mix cds are the best thing about music, being able to cohesively string together a set of songs that convey a single message, and when it works, it's great.

i just made an "unrequited love" mix. it's pretty searing. if you have been broken hearted or just wanna sit around moping for a while, i would suggest it.

suchgr8heights #5 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Every now and then I'll make a CD mix where every other song is hip hop, the other tracks being rock. I get a kick out of loving a song so much and then the next song being of a completely different genre.. loving it just the same :) ya, I'm a nerd!
