PERSONAL mixtapes!

[L.R Johansson]

I'd absolutely drop track 10 (Roxxette) and replace it with this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=pTI2VC14Qts

it will "fit" better (between "the one and only" and "I'm so excited"), has the same vibe of the other songs you're picking, and c'mon, it's AWESOME Heaven17.

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion myself, Roxette has been dropped. Not entirely sure about your suggestion tho', need to listen to it a bit more, methinks. Cheers for the suggestion tho!

Looks like a good set, Johansson.

Cheers mate. =)

GAWD! This thread makes me feel old. I didn't think young people still made mixtapes for each other. Don't kids just swap illegally downloaded music files these days?

Ay, that they do. I'm making a tape, through tons of hard work, to show my dedication tho' - anybody can do a list these days! With a real-deal tape, I'll show her I'm dedicated.

The process goes like this:

• Go out and buy tape
• Chose songs
• Download in very high quality
• Burn to cd
• Record to cassette via my grandma's old boombox

Also, swap Don't Stop Believing for a different song. I'm sure your friend is probably sick of it by now from it's over exposure Red Sox, Sopranos...I'm not a big Journey fan but maybe something like "Just the Same Way?"

Also, what I think of is Goth is different from what young people today think of as Goth is different. But if you want to make another tape and include something closer to her tastes...Cure is a good place to start. Can't miss with Siouxsie and the Banshees. Bauhuas, I'd say either "Bela Lugosi's Dead" or their version of Bowie's "Ziggy Stadust". Nine Inch Nails.

Aww, but I like Don't stop Believing! It is very, very over-exposed tho'. She's a bit different in that she doesn't watch sports, or go to games however - in fact, she hardly watches tv. The two of us are located in Northern Europe as well, so we're only vaguely aware that Red Sox plays baseball, few people here have ever seen a Red Sox game. Most of us watch Soccer, or Hockey.

I'll consider "Just the Same Way" tho', maybe "any way you want it" too, Journey's got a couple of good ones.

And I'll definitely give making an all-new goth-tape some thought. Nine Inch Nails and Bauhus I do believe are actually some of her fav's. She's not into the never kind of goth, Nightwish and the like - she's into the 80's stuff.

I know it's a little late... but here's a few more...

When in Rome - "The Promise"
OMD - "If You Leave"
Thompson Twins - "Hold Me Now"
The Cure - "Lovesong"
New Order - "Bizarre Love Triangle"

Cheers! Will have a listen to those. =)

Btw, here's my latest update on the list, I cut it down to size quite a bit. Shorter, but sweeter, imho:

For You.

Side 1.
1. I want it All (2011 remaster) - Queen
2. Smooth Criminal (radio edit) - Michael Jackson
3. I’m so Excited - the Pointer Sisters
4. Take on Me - A-ha
5. Don’t Stop Believin’ - Journey
6. I drove all Night - Cyndi Lauper

Side 2.
7. I wanna dance with somebody -
- Whitney Houston
8. Into the Groove - Madonna
9. I’d do anything for Love (Radio Edit) -
- Meatloaf
10. Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode
11. Forever Young - Alphaville
12. Purple Rain -
- Prince and the Revolution

[exile001]

Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode

How the F did I miss that? It's one of my absolute favourite songs!!!

Nice list. Let us know when you're doing the goth tape, I'm a little gothy myself.

I prefer Alphaville's "Sounds like a Melody":

http://youtu.be/mO3IEDRsP2Q

Also Depeche Mode's "Master and Servant", a little S&My but fun:

or "Dance With Me"

(tho my favorite song by theirs is "Universal Daddy". . LOL. .but don't think that fits the theme he's going for!)

[Indigo Al]

Agreed with Bert - drop that Roxette track as though it had an Ebola virus! (No offense to Roxette fans, they ain't my cuppa Scandinavian pop).

Other possibilities:

Yaz - with that incredibly strong Alison Moyet voice, you can't go wrong.
Move Out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdV-5ivltkc
Don't Go - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLTGs4fqxBk
my personal favorite, for its weird melancholy, In My Room - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsTK6TZnsB8

As for slightly romantic poppier goth, maybe Peter Murphy's best solo single? (He was Bauhaus's singer): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpz2AWu4PZg
Or, the Sisters of Mercy - but "This Corrosion" may take up all of your cassette or DVD space - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpz2AWu4PZg (and yes, that's Teri Nun from Berlin singing in the background).

as much as I love Peter Murphy (and Bauhaus, and Yaz, and SoM. . (and Love and Rocket & Tones on Tail -- the bands the other members of Bauhaus formed after Murphy went solo) LOL). . and "Cuts you Up" IS a brilliant song. . .

but it's not his best.

Ah yeah, Indigo Eyes is a very good song. Funny, I just saw his concert last month. He's still got that voice.

[Attila Kiss]

I want to make a mixtape for someone too.
Her qualities are honesty, confidence, independence, understanding, intelligence. She's also affectionate, creative, hospitable raised in good manners and has a great sense of humor
The mixtape should emphasize the importance of Woman.
I think we have a chance... if my wife has no objections.

Saviour Machine - The Woman
P. Mobil - Asszonyt Akarok

If I missed any song that will go with this mix feel free to let me know.
I also want to add a picture to the tape. Something that will nicely sum up all the huge qualities I listed at the beginning.

Swap out the Cher song for a much better one: "Heart of Stone"

(still fits with your "Women" theme ;p)

I see only one obvious exclusion, and that is... AMERICAN WOMAN!! ^^

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl4GWOkvDeM

No woman's -tape should be complete without it. The Kravitz-cover is great too.

Good call. Cher's best period was going through her AOR phase. I still have the S/T CD with the original banned cover.

Of course the most profitable jam track ever, is a must.

Pretty good selection, but I would have included 'I'm A Man' by Bo Diddley, 'The Man Song', by Sean Morey, and especially:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO43p2Wqc08

Also, you might want to consider adding a 3-minute edit of Guile's (Street Fighter) theme song.
Go home and be a mixtape man!

Never heard the S. Morey song, but most definitely, and of course the Macho Man is another must.

Did you mean this one, because that's epic.

Well, someone told me to impress the girl all you got to have; is a hot convertible and the last model of a mobile phone.
Hence the photo cover for the mixtape, too.

As expected, it went well.
What should be the next mixtape about? Party!?
