Sure, what the hell, I'll do this. Personal challenge: Including NO Sasquatch bands.

Wolfy, are you in vancouver canada or vancouver wash?

Yeah you guys can pretty much count on not hearing any Sasquatch bands on my mix. Honestly there's a pretty good chance that I'll end up sort of pitying the person who ends up with mine.

Man oh man... I'm so excited for this. Part of me wishes I hadn't put the deadline out so far, haha.

"When does the next song start? Oh, this is track nine, well fuck me then."

I have a laptop with a CD tray but, for some reason, no CD driver - that I've been trying to fix too, because I told Know that I'd make him a Residents CD as an overview of some of the material they are playing on the current tour and I haven't even been able to do that (sorry Gunther; I didn't forget, swear I'm trying to work it out).

I know your library is being held hostage. I had planned on spending a lot of time listening to the Residents before the show, but it kind of snuck up on me. Coachella/Sasquatch has hijacked my listenings the last two months. This might be the first time I've used "hostage" and "hijacked" in the same paragraph.

Sorry to be a poor sport, but I've never made a mix CD. My brain is not capable of grasping the concept. I'm an album fan, 99.9% of the time I'm listening to music, it is an album straight through. Pulling out my favorite songs, and surrounding them with different songs does not compute.

Aw, that's too bad. How bout I make you one and hand deliver it in a couple weeks? Does that sound like something you might be interested in?

I was just telling the Facebutt chat window that I like you better than most of my friends in town; this is the reason why.

Actually the reason why is that all my friends are in their early- to mid-twenties. Which is precisely why they have no respect for the Album as Art Form.

Hey- I am in my mid twenties and I have much respect for the Album as Art Form. But I also respect the care and crafting that one can put into a mix. Its something I find to be very fun, and if you take the time to assemble it correctly, not just picking your favorite songs but THE ONES THAT FIT TOGETHER, it can be almost like listening to an album.

Posted by Horned Gramma on Mar 5, 2011, 2:48pm

There are exceptions to the rule. I just don't know many of them personally.

And I am an old hand at making mix tapes. I know it is an art form unto itself.

I am very much the same when it comes to listening, but I look forward to the chance to completely flail at this.

Well, if it works out alright this time, you'll probably get to try your hand at it multiple times.

This is going to sound mean, but hey, I tend to speak my mind, and I can be an ass. I don't know anything about your taste in music. You just got here, and rarely talk music. I can force myself to listen to a mix tape, but it would ideally be a mix by someone who I respect their taste in music.

I appreciate the offer though.

Drew will participate, but if I give out my address and someone shows up to my door I'm going to sic my cats on them.

Posted by J. Walter Weatherman on Mar 5, 2011, 3:17pm

Ha, totally understand. I think I have talked about music a fair amount actually, just typically not Sasquatch related, I would say- owing to my total lack of knowledge about most of the line up. Perhaps this indicates to you that our music tastes don't run concurrently.
