Comment:
This is the first in what I hope will be a series of tapes. It was an interesting enough experience just making the one, because it's been about 5 years since I made one and have grown lazy. Making mixes these days consisits of throwing MP3s into Nero and then just hitting burn. Anyway, this baby's for a close friend who (along with me) has recently gotten very heavily into collecting records. So this tape, for her- in the true "High Fidelity" tradition, is a good sampling of the stuff from my vinyl collection that she'd want to call her own.Feedback:
There is some great songs on here!! And Aladdin Sane is one of those albums that you kinda need to own on vinyl, just for the cover, a CD shrunk version doesn't really do it justice!!
Lord, my CD collection isn't even as good as your vinyl. I feel inadequate. But you should be proud, 'cause this is a dandy little mix you've got here.
Dig this stuff!
not a bad song here.
High Fidelity is definitely one of my top 5 movies...and many of these songs belong in my all time top 5 records. This is one of the best mix tapes I've seen in a long time. To fully capture the Rob Gordon spirit, you definitely need "Let's Get it On" by Marvin Gaye. Anyway, awesome job.
Good Stuff! Shame they ruined a passable book by re-locating it...though I must admit Cusack was a good choice...I think though you have broken one of Rob's rules: 'You can't have white music and black music together,unless the white music sounds like black music'(Nick Hornby)Nevertheless, a good mix!
wonderful mix. High Fidelity rocks my socks.
Wow, a guy goes for months with nary a comment...but mention "Rob Gordon" in the mix title and the thoughts flow like milk and honey. Go figure. If you haven't already given this one away, I would dig a copy. You have some really nifty threes and fours going on here (ie Mayfield-Jackson-Wonder working well together), and I love that version of "Thunder Road"...of course, no Rob Gordon mix would be complete without that tune! Cheers bro! -Famous.
Great picks.
you win for now, but just you wait, shane ;)
This comment might be a little late but Famous put you in his "Famous Fever Dogs" exhibition. Check it out. But I have to say this may be a perfect mixtape. A good blend of old and new and songs that aren't so obscure. Great job!
You, you are me. Me, meet you. You go one way with a mix and I go the other. and another shane? how's that "together We're Heavy" sounding on vinyl? I got mine and just haven't got to listen to it. All in all, this rocks my record bag.
I have a couple thousand vinyl LPs going back to the beginning of time. I have been burning tracks from them for a few months with my USB turntable. So I can relate to this very well. I have recreated alot of my hundreds of mix tapes (going back to the mid Seventies) as iTunes playlists as well. It really brings back who I was 25 years ago to recreate those mixes this way. Vinyl rules, digital drools.
