A Very Merry Christmas CD Mix Thing

Page: 1(2)

MattShepherd: I WEDDED KALI!

09:17 / 14.12.06

Given mailing times from the UK to North America, I think download will be the best option for people on this side of the pond to enjoy a merry merry at this point.

I know a DL will be the only way for me, I'm gone as of Monday, and won't be back until after. Crap. Who hasn't sent theirs? You know you're killing the Spirit of Christmas. Not only killing, but mutilating and dismembering the corpse, dumping the various parts stuffed in plastic bags off random bridges. Not the present we were wanting.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

Hear, hear. What am I to listen to as I drink wine and think murderous Christmas thoughts?

11:27 / 15.12.06

OK, I'm missing one now (which due to my appalling bureaucratic skills could have come from one of two people, both of whom have been PMed). If I don't have it by Sunday I'll YouSendIt the whole thing anyway, with real live CDs to follow. How does that sound?

Apologies for laxness on my part, too- life's been a bit more hectic than I'd been expecting recently- I should have been chasing people up a month ago.

Yousendit is cool by me. That and I'll have the songs for the mulled wine and mince pie night were having next week.
Sound!

Tsuga

13:29 / 15.12.06

Mmmmmm. Mulled wine.
Hey, whatever is cool. Even if we don't get it by little Jesus's birthday this year, holidays come around again and again, and I'm sure this'll be one to listen to every year. It's great that you're even doing it in the first place, sugar.

I truly hope that this made it onto the mix...

ALL YOUR SONG ARE BELONG TO US.

Now all I have to do is scan the cover in, and it should (hopefully) be downloadable by tomorrow (or Wednesday at the latest). That said, I planned to do it all today, and today has been a cavalcade of unrelated disasters (see Hate and Anger thread if you're feeling schadenfreudey) that has left me in no mood to do much more than drink booze and kill stuff on the Xbox.

Again, apologies for the lateness and the fact that hard copies won't be in your grubby/lovely (delete as aplicable) hands until WELL after Little Baby Jesus's post-birthday hangover has kicked in, but, y'know, "events, dear boy. EVENTS".

Stupid events.

Anyway, there should be a lovely YouSendIt file (or three- fifteen contributors plus people who missed the cut) linked from this very thread very soon.

ARGH!!! Computery problems with four of the 16 tracks. If I can't get it rectified I'll post a shorter version, but get them all on the CD.

SORRY.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

08:59 / 23.12.06

OK, truncated version here. The tracks that aren't working I've left as empty files, so you will at least know what they are, and may indeed own them yourselves.

Apologies for the botched and shoddy nature of this so far, but I shit you not, this has been one of the most hectic weeks of my entire life (and I haven't even started Christmas shopping).

Extra tracks and CDs to follow. Please forgive my incompetence.

MattShepherd: I WEDDED KALI!

12:07 / 23.12.06

I've mirrored the file here in case YSI expires before everyone downloads. Enjoying it, Stoats! Thanks!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

12:53 / 23.12.06

Cheers, dude. As I say, the missing four tracks should be up soon, but I thought it was better to deliver what I DID have than nothing.

I feel awful. Why does December have to be so damn busy?

Mon Oncle Ignatius

13:22 / 23.12.06

I understand there's some kind of Judeo-Christian festival around then which makes the populace around he run around frantically, quaffing mulled communion wine with the Bishop Of Southwark. Allegedly.

Triplets

21:03 / 23.12.06

Stoatie, it's fine. A small blast around a program like soulseek and people can fill in the blanks quicksmart.

uncle retrospective

09:40 / 24.12.06

Cheers for letting me change my mind so much Stoatie, I just got all kinds of excited.

pureflook

10:27 / 24.12.06

ho ho ho..

testdrived the thing at a drunken soiree last night..went down like a large vat of mulled wine and a mince pie.

congrats and thanks

petunia

14:40 / 24.12.06

Mulled wine and mince pies in a vat sounds disgusting. All the soggy pastry would lead to a not-so-favourable quaff, in my book. But whatever floats your (christmas) boat, i guess.

That said, this is a sweet little mix.

One request: Please could stoatie, or anyone who has the knowledge, tell us who the tracks are by? Some tracks have artist names, but some are missing.

Also: OH NO! The Amiina track isn't meant to sound like that! That's what you get for trying to be clever and sending .flac files...

So, if you want to hear the original (and i must say, i quite enjoyed the 'reworked' version on the mix), it's here as an mp3 or, if you wanna be really, really cool* you can get it in nice, lossless, open source flac format here.

Not that i have any idea who chose the Amiina track. No idea at all.

Who chose Amiina? I love that track.

Hohoho! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

*Just like me! I'm cool!

15:01 / 24.12.06

Can I just give a big christmas hug to who ever picked Pull Shapes? I've just been dancing around work to it.

Mike Modular

16:59 / 24.12.06

See now, .trampetunia, I too was quite enjoying the glitchcore version, but the 'proper' one is even better...

This mix does the job most satisfactorally. When the actual artefact arrives, we can stow it away and get excited about it all over again come next Xmas. Cheers Stoatie!

Um, if anyone's still hungry for festive tunes of this ilk, allow me to pimp my appearance on this here Podcast...

Update, please?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

12:38 / 01.02.07

Bring on the voting!

(Actual, real-life CDs will be sent out as soon as I've sorted my life out a bit).

Mistoffelees

14:12 / 01.02.07

But there were three tracks missing?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

09:39 / 02.02.07

Good point. Working on it.
