nice idea, but i don't know if other people are willing to contribute as well... ;)

[dajrekshn]

it's a good idea. don't know if it will work though, as Nik already said.

[burningmonk]

Excellent way to start off a tape, Nik :wink:. Some very good songs in there too. Nice going.

[talisman]

i'll make a tracklist today and post the link for download.
just to make things clear, does the songs have to be new releases, or it doesn't matter?

[Bernard]

Doesn't matter, I think.

enjoy:)

[Lore]

this is a cool idea thanks a lot guys

[Ondes Martenot]

thank talisman! :)

i actually have an idea.

what if we'd have different mixtape concepts every week/2 weeks/month like e.g. "60's pop", "2006", "10 best Blur songs" etc.

everyone who would like to participate would post a mixtape about the current "concept"

would someone be interested in this?

[talisman]

i say yes, thats a great idea ondes...

[Briggins]

I'm all for it Nik.

Fantastic idea! :)

Will be filled with feelings of woeful inadequecy, but hopefully a few good discoveries as well.

[Ondes Martenot]

goooooooood!

what should be the first theme?

my suggestion: let's start with a popular one

[Space Cadet]

My suggestion for an easy universal theme would be something like "This is me" or "This is my life"... A collection of songs with a lot of personal meaning or a story behind them, or that you think represents who you are right now. It would make for a good warmup.

Some other random ideas- music for a certain point in time- like waking up in the morning, or falling asleep to at night.

How about a 'beat the winter blues' theme... best uplifting stuff?

Or a 'this was my trip' theme... stuff that you listened to on a trip or that reminds you of a certain trip or tells the story of a trip?

I could go on if you like....

[Ondes Martenot]

i like the uplifting and the trip suggestions!

i say: let's start with some uplifting stuff

another question:

how should we do this?

1) everyone posts at least 9-10 songs
or
2) only 2-3 and in the end we have an ultimate mixtape of 17-18 songs or something like that

[talisman]

awesome, i really like the waking up in the morning suggestion.

lets see what everybody else thinks
