Make Me a Mixtape: A Playlist Collective
Let’s share some playlists! I know we already do this in some form or another across this board, but thought it might be fun to kind of centralize it. Here’s what I’m thinking, based on a group I used to run IRL. Once every three months, I’ll set up a thread calling for mix submissions. It’ll stay open for a month, and anyone that wants to drop a mix is free to do so. My promise to you is that I will listen to every mix, just please keep the lengths sensible since the point here is sharing. That’s the crux of it. So let’s start here. Drop a playlist you’ve made in the comments… could be your latest mix, could be your favourite mix, could be a custom mix for this project. You do you. There are no rules, apart from being kind to one another, which seems a baseline for this place anyway. In future maybe we pick custom themes for these or implement some kinda structure but let’s start it easy. P.S. If any of you wanna make or send me actual mixtapes I’ll take ‘em. DM me and I’ll happily shoot you an address.

Thanks, can't play it without an Apple Music pay to play plan. :-(

@Shane McNeil I can copy the song order and find them individually. Out of respect for all my hard working musician friends, I don't subscribe to any of the streaming services. I just listen to KEXP/KNKX and buy things at shows or on BandCamp. I had a Pandora plan a long time ago, but when they got taken over by SiriusXM, I dropped them.
Health/Dark Chisme @ The Showbox Seattle 4/2
Scored a last minute ticket to this show tonight in case anyone is also going. I'll probably do the 1st Thursday Art Walk prior. First time buying an 'authorized resale' ticket at a discount via AXS.

@Jim Storie I saw them at KEXP when they did a live session. I really liked Dark Chisme and Desire. Glad you had fun.

@Jim Storie I already have my tix for Audioasis Live. See y’all there!
Speaking of show etiquette
Do you wear a band's t-shirt to their live show?

@Benedetto Manzella Agreed. I often get comments on my shirt when its from a previous tour, that creates a bonding moment "Ah, I saw that tour too!" I have Neko Case & NIN shirts dating back 20+ years. Its especially fun when bands I saw aeons ago come around again and I still have old t-shirts, like Bikini Kill, OMD, Gang of Four, X etc. 🤠
When do you arrive at the show?
Doors open at 7. Opening band starts at 8. The headliner starts at 9-ish. When do you show up? Obvs this is dependent on who is playing, but let's go for averages. Your tendencies. What's your gut reaction?

Totally depends on the opening act. Sometimes, that's who I'm coming to see! On a multi-show run (like same artist 2-3 in a row) I may see the opener once then skip them if they didn't thrill me. Case in point: Neko Case's most recent shows - I love Destroyer, but not really as a solo act with just an an acoustic guitar. Same for John Grant - "The Queen of Denmark" is an amazing record, but so much is missing for me when it's just him and a keyboard.
For fans of dark, moody synth pop
I highly recommend the new solo album by Jess Weiss from the band Fear of Men. She goes by the name New German Cinema, and the album is called Pain Will Polish Me.

Added to my Bandcamp wishlist! Check out the band "Leathers" for a similar vibe.
