zen and the art of mix tapes #005
zen and the art of mix tapes #005 - fabricated trinity
this one is fabricated from 3 mix cds. one was a mix that i made for a friend in a mix cd trade a couple years ago and never got a trade back. one is one that i was making back in may and couldn't get it right and the other is one that i made that wasnt all that good and never made it to the car. so i took these and combined them into one. deleted out the multiples from each cd and trimmed down tracks from the same artist to my favorites. so what you have here is my newest car cd. i think for the next couple editions im gonna go with a theme, just to pull some different styles together with the same lyrical content. enjoy!!!

wow! another great mix. this was an awesome idea maize!
i love that French Toast song, and followed by Lou Reed?! he is the star of a number of nightmares ive had of me being pursued by him through the streets and subways of NYC, with him in face paint (Transformer style), and threatening me with his guitar!!! haha!!
hmmm..I guess I have to make one now?
I will work on it this week and try to have it up for the weekend. I'm not very good at mix tapes, but I will do my best.
we know it will be good paps... no worries..
hey paps did you find the still life i posted up for you the other day?
yes sir jaysus..thank you very much. I have been listening to nothing but Still Life, and now Frodus for 5 days now. I guess I never realized how much I dig Frodus, but they kick some serious ass. I'm scrambling to find everything by them now!
do a frodus post for Zen!! put all youve found...
are we calling lou reed's penis his "guitar" now?
ok..I can do that. I'm still hunting down F-letter, but I got most of the other stuff.
yes as frodus post would be mighty rad. so spastic, so dc
"are we calling lou reed's penis his "guitar" now?"
hmmm, who is this? should i laugh or kick your ass?
mr anonymous.
i don't want this to be taken the wrong way, but that was the gayest thing i've ever seen. goddammit i haven't laughed that hard in a while.
I guess it might just be my computer, but i have tried downloading your mix tapes a couple of times and each time i get an error when when opening them up and i get nothing. i don't know if it's cause of Megaupload or what. But it saddens me that i am not listening to these right now.
but the concept of the mix tape is definately a lost art. it was the best way to court the member of the opposite sex back in the day. what do kids do these days? send a "playlist" do people even make mix cds anymore?
i do have to say you did break one of the rules of mix tapes with a couple of your earlier "tapes", you can never repeat a band. or maybe that was one of my rules.
either way, i am liking this even if i can't listen to them right now.
anybody else having trouble with the megaupload ones?
i didnt repeat any bands omn tape 1 and 5, which were the ones i did, unless you mean the 2 pumpkins on tape 1.
im DLing this one now to see.
i last made a mix tape for my future wife in 96, its REALLY punk and not lovey at all, maybe ill reassemble it and post it.....
this proves to be very inspiring...i hope yall don't mind but i am gonna do the same...
does anyone happen to have the van pelt 7" with "the speeding train" on it? i still have a couple weeks before i get paid again...at which point i am investing in the new turntable...
I LOVE THIS BLOG!
ddn
when i used to make tapes i did abide by the "no repeating bands" rule. though i have softened that rule as i have re-entered the mix making world.
in some cases, like Maizes first mix, the two songs are placed far enough apart, and go with a flow, in the Post?Post! mix, i had a specific number of bands i really wanted to highlight for my friends tastes, so i doubled up on those.
I think i will follow that rule from now on though...
hey i have been trying to make a mix to share, but apparently i am fucking stupid, because no matter which way i try it mixes up the order of songs...any help would be appreciated...are you using any specific program?? sorry i am a complete dumbass...
im using mediaplayer,im sure the same will work for all players.
i make my burn list and burn a cd, then reload it back in, rename the album title and rip it back to its own folder, all the track numbers will then be in order.
...and youve got a cd already to listen too.
if you use itunes, you can Convert Selection to MP3 from the ADVANCED drop down menu up top. It will copy all the songs so you can rename it as an album, and renumber all the songs without fucking with the original files.
using the "date added" column will help you distinguish which ones are the newer ones.
maize way works just as well too, but in case you didnt have any blank cds, the way i mentioned is useful.
word thanks guys!
ok so the problem i have now is that it only says "convert to aac" not mp3. plus i originally tried maize's idea and that just wants to replace any of the songs that i burned to disk. sucky
nevermind!! got it! thanks!
right on.
sorry to lurk, but... caught wind of the frodus conversation, and wanted to know if anything (other than fireflies) was/can be posted? saw these guys a few times back in the day, and y'all piqued my interest anew. if not, it's cool...
