mixtape soundclash - round 2

[ouchmonkey]

We could have a best of 2008 theme... Maybe?

that'd be interesting. 2008 has been rubbish. or is that just me?

[old man]Every year since 2004 has been a bit rubbish[/old man]

Actually it's not been too bad for dubstep, dubtechno, wonk, minimal/avant-techno.
There's been some good "indie" (fuckknows what it's actually called, but you know stuff with guitars like Deerhunter, No Age, Atlas Sound, Animal Collective, Fleet Foxes) as well...
Um. Yeah. It's not been like awesome though.

 

[boing!]

I've hardly bought any albums this year. Not sure if that's because there hasn't been many good releases or I just haven't had the time and money to hunt them out. I am quite interested by what this years U75 Albums of the year chart will look like.

Anyway, this is a complete derail, sorry.

 

[perplexis]

Nah it's true, albums wise there hasn't been much to light my fire (I say this every year though) but there's been a slew of raggaey-dubstep and techy-dubstep shit that's coming through which I've been enjoying. But it's all being made by the same players. Or at least, the stuff I hear is.

i was thinking a christmas themed one...

 

[killer b]

six in now... a respectable number, but we need MORE.

 

[perplexis]

Christmas theme
I don't have any Christmas music and I have a condition that prevents me from listening to or playing novelty songs

 

[killer b]

freak.

 

[El Jefe]

can i have till saturday afternoon?

 

[The_Reverend_M]

I'm with El Jefe ... not feeling up to it right now ... I know I've had weeks but life keeps getting in the way ...

 

[killer b]

[Paulie Tandoori]

[killer b]

you've got till monday then.

where's sunspots? is he not defending his crown?

 

[perplexis]

freak.

Don't mock the afflicted

 

[perplexis]

So when is the voting thread going up?
How long do we wait for stragglers?
I was hoping it'd all be done by the weekend cos I'm going away on Sunday and I won't have proepr speakers to listen to them on until the end of November Hmmph.

 

[killer b]

a few people have requested monday, so i've got to give 'em a chance...

 

[perplexis]

You're too damn nice, you know that?

 

[killer b]

that's what everyone tells me.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Thank you loads, Mr Killer B sir

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

ok, all done and dusted and pm on its way mister b.

 

[ska invita]

Would be great to link this in with the new urban radio station. When you get all the links in, send them over to me and I'll put them up on the station.

If you havent heard about the station yet, please check out the action in the Radio Forum > all deejays, mixes needed

*Sorted this out with killer b, so all mixtape soundclash entrants mixes will be streaming on the station, until voting closes!

 

[El Jefe]

phew

 

[killer b]

i was hoping to get this sorted this evening - what's the chances?

also, should we have a complicated rating system, or just a poll?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

poll innit i reckon, it was difficult enough getting people to simply cast a vote, let alone confuse them with options.

 

[killer b]

that's what i'm thinking. i think there's going to be about 10 entries this time too...

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

crikey, downloads ahoy!!!

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Just uploading mine now...

 

[killer b]

bit of a late flurry there. big up the slackers.

 

[killer b]

what are my chances of getting this polished off tonight then? there's still a couple outstanding (not naming any names, like. jeff)

 

[killer b]

just counted, and we're up to 10 already. this is extra-cool.
