You choose the best tracks for the best mix!

Hello again to everyone out there! leenielou is still without internet access (poor thing), so you can blame me for the slight delay in posting the poll.

Yes, it has come again, that time of the week in which we engage our brains, stimulate our ears, reach for the stars and most of all - collectively decide which band will claim victory over it's four adversaries and secure itself a spot on the A to Z Mixtape for the letter 'H'!

So without further ado...



Samples below:
Handsome Boy Modeling School - "Breakdown"
The Herd - "I Was Only 19"
Hilltop Hoods - "The Nosebleed Section"
Hole - "Celebrity Skin"
Hot Hot Heat - "Goodnight Goodnight"

Heya everyone, je m'appelle Christian, and I'll be your host for this week. leenielou is away from the computer for a few days (if you can believe it!), so we all drew straws to see who'd get the honour of posting the results of your nominations and I picked the shortest one. Pleased to be here though :D

Anyway, it is my duty to inform you that we are voting for a band to put on the mixtape whose name begins with G, so put your thinking caps on, grab a pair of headphones and listen to the samples if need be (conveniently located beneath the poll options) and lets get voting!



Low-quality mp3 samples:
Garbage - "#1 Crush"
Gomez - "Silence"
Gorillaz - "Feel Good Inc."
Green Day - "Basket Case"
Guns n' Roses - "Sweet Child O' Mine"

Hello everyone and welcome to the A-Z Mix Tape!

Do you remember those days when CDs were a far off idea? When tapes and tape players were the cutting edge technology? When the art of creating the perfect mix-tape was a time honoured and exacting tradition and you could sit for hours just to make the perfect combination of your favourite songs?

Although this is mostly a thing of the past - where mix tapes were replaced with the mix cd and now the itunes playlists - we all know the joys of rediscovering those tapes from our past, and listening fondly to the tunes of back then. And we all still know how much joy can come from creating the ideal mixtape for ourselves or someone close to us.

Well now, we hope to recreate the glory of those days by making our very own, user decided mix tape (with a bit of an online twist) that everyone can download once it is completed.

Now finally, to be able to take part in the ultimate LJ AtoZ mixtape and to decide exactly which songs you want, you need to join the community and hopefully you will enjoy this process as much as us.

Our first update, and the first nomination process, will begin in the next few days when we have a good enough number of members to get a good mix. So don't lose faith - we will get your brains working soon :D

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them here.
