From the peanut gallery-
It would have been cool if there were more voting categories/questions – like, which album had the best song you’d never heard? or which album had the best song you had forgotten about? or which album had the worst song that was embarrassingly stuck in your head? Also, i’d have liked to have seen some statistical breakdown of repeat artists/songs on various albums, maybe with a colorful graph. lastly, I also wish that it had been a requirement that people include title and names of the songs on their CDs, you know…for those of us that would want to hear more.
So how about it? Here are a few of my thoughts.
- I had never heard Polite Dance Song from The Bird and The Bee from Mixtape Masters but really liked that.
- The cheesiest song I enjoyed the most was that Elvish/Yiddish/Esperanto version of Blackbird at ~19 minutes into DJ Spam Master.
- I’m embarrassed to say that the song I should have known but didn’t was San Tropez by Pink Floyd off of Workin’ It.
- The best/worst band name I think goes to Tijuana Strip Club off Up Up, Way Down.
- The worst song in the whole project was that Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss crap from Kitshickers.
- The most frequent artist across discs was Ani DiFranco who made it onto three mixes. Jenny Lewis was on two (not including ACL – though she was there too).
