Help me build an indie sampler cd…

[everyonelovesjaron]

Personally, I’d cut one of the two GBV songs… you could prolly put two MOA songs in the same amount of time.

Which GBV song would be hard to decide though.

Looks great even if you keep it the way you have it.

[Mattman]

Doh! I left out MoA… AND THE PIXIES!!! [img]images/smiles/converted/eek.gif[/img]

Back to the drawing board… [img]images/smiles/converted/rolleyes.gif[/img] (I made these selections at 2am. [img]images/smiles/converted/wink.gif[/img] )

EDIT: …and Bob Mould!!! (I must’ve been out of my mind…)

[Mattman]

Indie Mix v1.1:

OK, with much sadness [img]images/smiles/converted/frown.gif[/img] I’ve cut:

Arab Strap – Hello Daylight
Modest Mouse – Interstate 8
Dinosaur Jr – Over Your Shoulder
Guided By Voices – Portable Men’s Society

…And with much gladness [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img] I’ve added:

Arab Strap – Cherubs (Good call Spaceboy. [img]images/smiles/converted/wink.gif[/img] )
Man or Astroman? – Planet Collision
Sugar – Fortune Teller
Pixies – Where Is My Mind

So, the new list (still in no particular order)goes:

J Mascis & The Fog – Everything Flows Medley
J Mascis & The Fog – Ammaring
Grandaddy – The Crystal Lake
Archers of Loaf – Telepathic Traffic
Sonic Youth – Teenage Riot
Modest Mouse – Edit The Sad Parts
Dinosaur Jr – Start Choppin
Built To Spill – Carry the Zero
Sebadoh – Too Pure
Guided By Voices – The Official Ironmen Rally Song
Yo La Tengo – Sugarcube
Arab Strap – Cherubs
Man or Astroman? – Planet Collision
Sugar – Fortune Teller
Pixies – Where Is My Mind

Alright, I’ve got about 2:25 left, what should I put in it? Also I picked ‘Start Chopping’ as the Dinosaur Jr default out of an inability to decide between so many songs… Does anyone have a better idea? Should I have cut ‘Start Chopping’ and left ‘Over Your Shoulder’ instead? Decisions, I hate those things! [img]images/smiles/converted/wink.gif[/img]

on the topic of "indie" – I suggest you check out a cool website: http://www.epitonic.com – you’ll find J & the fog represented there, along with many of those mentioned in this thred + tons of other "indie" rock artists – (as well as many others of various genre affiliation) – check it out!

Epitonic.com is a great web site!one of my favs!everyone should check it out if you have`nt yet.

I’d go for KKK Took My Baby Away -that song never fails!! As for Grandaddy, I’d change The Crystal Lake into Underneath The Weeping Willow or Jed The Humanoid -probably the first -simply ‘cuz it’s so beautifull it makes pro-wrestlers cry.

Hey Mattman,

I was worried about your lack of Bob Mould…scary…glad you recovered [img]images/smiles/converted/eek.gif[/img]

All the Ramones tunes listed are great, would add Daytime Dilemma, Sombody Put Something in My Drink and My Brain is Hanging Upside Down as my choices.

Almost forgot Psycho Therapy! That’s a nice little Ramones tune!!

Just thought I’d share this little quote off the epitonic site:

Amen to that!

Hey Maxini,

Well said, thanks for that quote…who was the very wise person or was it just a random cool thought by someone?

‘Start Chopping’ should stay on the list. I’m sure there’s a Ramones song (or 3) you could fit in that 2:25, if you like the Ramones.

[SG]

I`d change the Pixies "Where Is My Mind" to "Gigantic";"Where Is My Mind" is cool but "Gigantic" is better.You don`t have to listen to me though.
The remaining time you could add something punky,like the Ramones.
