If your IMP mark is anything like I hope most of them are, she is HOPING to get stuff she never knew she wanted to hear. That's my biggest hope for this thing. I find it frustratingly difficult to expose myself to new music. The sheer volume of stuff out there is daunting in that, following "ordinary" channels of discovery; i.e. reading magazines and visiting record stores, will only uncover a miniscule portion of the music universe, past and present. I imagine that everyone out there, whose tastes align in any way with my own, knows and loves at least one or two artists I've never heard of, and might not ever find without their help. The out of left field selections are the ones to which I most look forward. I say bring on the crazy ass selection and let your recipients bless - or curse - you, whichever the case may be. At the very least, you'll be giving them exposure, growing their scope, giving them something to think about.<br /><br />John, Wonderbread indeed. I've had a sneaking suspician that the Decemberists are chunder blowers. The only thing that has kept me on the fence is that I am automatically intrigued by the aforementioned romanticism. Like I said, the mix was worth it, if for no other reason, because it got Big Pink back in my rotation, and that record just blows my fucking mind. <br /><br />I will see what I can do about diving back into the shit with you. It's been a while since I've been blessed with laughing so hard I piss blood for three days. <br /><br />Z, thanks for stopping in. I don't know that I would say I know more about music than most people. Certainly, it is likely that I know more about music prior to 2003 than the average person my age and under, but I am definitely lacking in current knowledge. I just can't keep up. I don't have the time to wade through it all, what with work and the fam. That is one of the things I think IMP might be good for. I get the impression (don't ask me why) that the kids dominate the mixing. They tend to be far more in the know than me. I would love a mix of anything you think I'd like to hear:<br />1837 Kipling<br />Apt. A<br />Houston, TX 77098<br /><br />Sorry about the typo, legal eagle.

You're all grows up.<br /><br />Your IMP acquisition was a wee on the Wonderbread, but not bad overall (well, except for the fucking Decemberists, they blow chunder).<br /><br />Carry on. And come back to work for me at the Stop, we are in dire need of an overqualified minion.Herr Blind Metzgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193069746217071071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7975148222553357774.post-90159425079524114522007-01-07T20:27:00.000-06:002007-01-07T20:27:00.000-06:00Shit.
You know I sent some comp cds out recently ...Shit.<br /><br />You know I sent some comp cds out recently to Carlos and Kilian, and I had ZERO time to do anything remotely creative with the actual mix or art... except I did include a mix of some Aleutian Delusion stuff we did here, and that alone is ... hard to swallow.<br /><br />But I just remembered that I forgot to put the "secret to surviving life" on the back of your icon... Will have to figure out how to reconcile that.<br /><br />I see what you mean about the IMP. You have expectations, and when someone doesn't seem to get creative with their mix, you wonder what they are doing it for... But I would venture to say that your mixmaster doesn't care about music the way you do. I'm struggling to make my mix because I have a crazy ass selection of music on my computer and on disc. Shit NO ONE wants to hear probably.Flash Eyed Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538166115749482944noreply@blogger.com
