Comment:
This is a very old mix (at least four or five years) and so it doesn't completely accurately represent my tastes terminal 2001, though I still listen to much of this music. That said I've always been quite fond of this because I was very creative with the sequencing and managed to have the running order create a sort of palindrome. Basically the first song somehow relates to the last, the second to the second last, etc. etc. Cool, huh? Some of the connections are beyond tangential, but in any case this is how it works:Songs 1/18 - Original/Cover; songs 2/17 - Original/Cover; songs 3/16 - white/pale; songs 4/15 - same title (different songs); songs 5/14 - similar titles (horses coming, bring on the horses); songs 6/13 - same artist; songs 7/12 - same artist; songs 8/11 - the two songs that don't connect in any way; songs 9/10 - stud/mare. You could argue that the side break makes some sort of comment about the male/female dialectic or is some sort subtle dirty joke (the stud goes into the mare). I wouldn't.
The theme, evidently, is Horses. The title is in Polish and is the only Palindrome I could find about Horses (the translation is in brackets). If anyone can come up with a suitable English palindrome I will gladly change the title and also send a copy of the tape on to the winning submitter.
Has anyone else sequenced a tape this way? Let me know, I'd be curious to look at other examples.
Feedback:
This is pretty fucking great. :-) And a good idea.
Great idea, great execution. great songs.
palindrome suggestion:
sit on a potato pan otis
sit on a potato pan otis
ahh, i love this tape. i really really really like how complicated the theme is. involved themes that take lots of explaination are the best.
