Title: I need your help...
Post by: marktwain on Aug 24, 2004, 06:57 AM
...with a mixed c.d.!  I've got the equivalent of writer's block with this mixed c.d., and I need help finishing it.  Here's the tracks so far (order not fixed):

Devil's Workday - Modest Mouse
I Don't Wanna Grow Up - Tom Waits
Whorehoppin' - Eagles of Death Metal
Back Door Man - Doors
My Generation - Who
Living Loving Maid - Zeppelin
Rip This Joint - Stones
Sweet Jane - Velvet Underground (I'm not sure abt this one)

maybe some MC5? not sure.  
The whole c.d. has this kind of adolescent boy energy to it, and I've got some audio clips from TV and movies thrown in to help that along.
Suggestions?

I think you should throw some Sabbath on there.  Maybe an AC/DC track, and perhaps another Modest Mouse track (3rd Planet)?  As an avid mix maker myself, i feel your frustration with trying to complete it properly.  Many times they start out so well, but end pretty week.  Good luck!

Great suggestions, all.  There were a lot that I wish I could've used, but I didn't have the tracks.  Weezer, Pavement, Zep, and Modest Mouse made it.  I really wanted to use some T Rex, but have nothing by them.  THe only Bowie I have is Hunky Dory, and nothing from that fit in the mix.

Thanks, guys and gals!
