The Halloween 2007 Badge
Happy Halloween 2007! In celebration of this event, here is a recipe to make your very own candy corn:
Combine 1 cup of razor blades, 2 cups of clown tears and 3/4 tablespoon spider eggs in a pan and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and add 2 cups hemlock and 3 ounces of fish oil. Stir until cool enough to handle. Shape and distribute.
Trick or treat!

The Friday the 13th Badge I
Friday the 13th taught us all the heartwarming lesson that if you are a camp counselor, it's probably not in your best interest to let that (potentially mentally retarded [see wikipedia]) kid swim alone while you are trying to get a piece of ass.

JAMES HAD THE IDEA TO MAKE A BUKOWSKI MIX & I STOLE IT.
I DECIDED TO MATCH SONGS TO MY FAVORITE OF BUKOWSKI'S POEMS.
THE SONGS FIT THE MOOD OF THE POEMS (TO ME).
HOPEFULLY YOU CAN READ & HEAR IT TOO.

I DON'T REALLY WANT A FUNERAL, BUT I'M ASSUMING I'LL PROBABLY GET ONE ANYWAYS. AND IF I COULD MAKE A MIX FOR PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO AS THEY MORN ME, IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS. HYPOTHETICALLY, OF COURSE.

A SHORT MIX OF THE SONGS THAT ARE GETTING ME THROUGH THE DAY THESE DAYS.
1841 points (Level 4) · 8/11/07 8:43pm
I LIKE THE IDEA OF USING "RADARS" AS A TITLE, THOUGH I'M NOT SURE WHY. IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE ANY CORRELATION WITH THE SONGS.
THESE ARE JUST THE SONGS I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO LATELY WHILE I READ AND OR SLEEP. "INTUITION" BY FEIST & "ONE MORE MOUTH" BY JOSH RITTER WERE REALLY THE ONLY REASONS TO MAKE A FULL MIX. I DIDN'T THINK I'D GET ANY POINTS FOR PUTTING THOSE 2 SONGS A FEW TIMES EACH.

you and your best friends on a cross-country road trip.
the why doesn't matter.
what does matter is that i, your good friend who couldn't make the trip, made you this MIX with instructions on when & how to use it.

AT FIRST I WANTED TO TRY TO FIND ONE SONG THAT FIT ALL THE CATEGORIES, BUT THEN I GOT BORED OF THAT IDEA. PERHAPS NEXT TIME.
INSTEAD I JUST MADE A REALLY RANDOM MIX.
IT'S LACKING IN DESCRIPTIONS BECAUSE I HAD TO MAKE IT LIKE 4 TIMES.
ON THE TITLE:
WHEN I LOOKED UP "RANDOM" ON THESAURUS.COM, "SLAPDASH" CAME UP AND IT SEEMED FITTING AND RADICAL.

I'M 4 HOURS OR MORE AWAY FROM ALL MY BEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
I DON'T TALK TO A LOT OF THEM FOR VARIOUS REASONS & I MISS THEM.
THIS IS A MIX OF SONGS THAT REMIND ME SPECIFICALLY OF THEM.

SIDE B: WAKING IN REVERSE
THIS IS THE 2ND SIDE OF THIS MIX. IF THE FIRST SIDE WAS FOR A LATE NIGHT TRIP INTO THE CITY, THIS ONE IS FOR THE RIDE HOME.
OR IT'S NICE TO FALL ASLEEP TO.

SIDE A: SOME FUZZY HAZE
THESE ARE SONGS THAT KIND OF FIT A CERTAIN MOOD/SOUND. THE KIND OF CURRENT ROCK THAT HAS THAT FUZZY/RETRO FEEL AND SOME OF THE OLDER ARTISTS THAT INSPIRED IT. GOOD FOR A NIGHT TRIP INTO THE CITY OR WASTING TIME ONLINE LATE AT NIGHT.

I DON'T HAVE A STEREO HERE AT THE APARTMENT WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO LISTEN TO EVERYTHING ON MY iPOD/COMPUTER OR THE DVD PLAYER. THIS ALSO MEANS I CAN'T MAKE ACTUAL MIXTAPES. I CAN MAKE MIX CDs OR PLAYLISTS. BUT, IF I DID HAVE MY STEREO, THIS WOULD BE SIDE 1 OF A MIX THAT I WOULD PLAY NON-STOP. BUT, I SUPPOSE I WILL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR A REALLY RADD PLAYLIST.

A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I GOT REALLY INTO "HAIL TO THE THIEF" AND "THE ERASER" AGAIN (MOSTLY DUE TO THE NEW PIANO TRACK "VIDEOTAPE" & PARTLY DUE TO READING KLOSTERMAN'S IV) AND I WAS LISTENING TO A LOT OF YORKE/RADIOHEAD. I DECIDED TO MAKE A MIX OF MELLOW TRACKS TO FALL ASLEEP TO, ALL STARING MR. YORKE.
I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE BEST MIXES I'VE EVER DONE, THE FLOW IS PERFECT. I CUT A FEW TRACKS FOR THE SAKE OF TIME.

MY BOSS CALLED LAST NIGHT TO INFORM ME THAT THEY WERE CUTTING MY HOURS FOR THIS WEEK BY HALF. MY BOYFRIEND IS OUT OF TOWN. I PLANNED ON WAKING UP TODAY AND GOING OUT TO LOOK FOR A 2ND JOB (WHICH IS NOT HOW I'D LIKE TO SPEND MY DAYS OFF) AND IT WAS RAINING CATS & DOGS. I WALK, SO I COULDN'T GO OUT... WHICH CAUSED ME TO INSTEAD MAKE A MIX THAT HELPS ME DEAL WITH MY FRUSTRATION IN A HEALTHY MANNER.
SO THESE ARE EITHER SONGS OF FRUSTRATION OR THAT ARE JUST GOOD FOR WALKING AROUND AND JAY-WALKING.
P.S: I REALIZE THAT 3 MIXES IN 2 DAYS IS A LOT, BUT AT LEAST THEY'RE GOOD.

GET READY TO SAY ADIOS TO YOUR ASS, BECAUSE BY THE END OF THIS MIX YOU WILL HAVE DANCED IT OFF! SAY ADIOS TO YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING THIS CONTEST TOO BECAUSE I JUST HAPPEN TO ME THE BEST DANCE MIXES. IF YOU DOWNLOADED THESE SONGS AND PUT THEM ON A COUPLE TAPES YOU WILL BE HAVE A DANCE PARTY, NO DOUBT!

I wish I could make a mix that captures the essence of Bukowski. I just need to find some songs on drinking, horse races, shitty jobs, rough women and weird people.
Wouldn't that be awesome?

They are quite an act live. You should definitely get tickets for whenever they hit your town.
You know, I feel like I have to categorize them as "guilty pleasure" when I'm on this site, but really, they're not. I love My Chemical Romance. :)
Super duper suave that you found another thing to get together around, man. That's the best.

Haha, yeah I had a nirvana phase, but I was like 11 when kurt died. I definitely did a lot of listening to my parents records though. My mom gave me Joni Mitchell, The Stones, Nick Drake, Loudon Wainwright III, and Leonard Cohen, while my Dad gave me The New York Dolls, The MC5, The Stooges, Television, and The Velvet Underground. No wonder they got divorced.
