It's a Constant Scramble

steph-honey:

So, mix cd’s…

Well, the fact is, I’m WAY past the age where I need to be making a mix cd for any reason except, because, well, I have the ability to make playlists. Duh.

Yet, I’m still of the generation where if you gave someone a mix cd, it meant something. Ok, I’ll confess: In high school, it was still a cassette tape, but it’s still the same concept. Bite me. I’m older than you, deal with it.

There’s someone who crossed my mind today, while listening to a song on Pandora, and I’d like to make them a mix cd. The problem is, I have quite a bit of the music I want, but not enough to fill a full 2 hours. That’s the target goal. Why two hours?

Well, this is kind of a “make out” cd. It needs to have a tone, a mood. I’m avoiding the usual romance songs: I’m not looking to have anyone singing along when they need to be focusing on other things. Ahem.

So far, I’m starting with Sofa Rockers-Richard Dorfmeister Remix, throwing in some Hybrid, some Massive Attack, some Dirty Vegas…after that? I’m wandering without a clue.

What I need from my friends, particularly my DJ friends, is suggestions. Lots, and lots, and lots, of suggestions. Songs with lyrics are optional, let’s go with the mood. What do you think?

Crap, I meant to reply with a list, but I hit enter after the first one and… well, that’s all you got.  So here goes.

Enigma
Goldfrapp (Especially “Strict Machine”)
Hooverphonic
Cocteau Twins
Bitter:Sweet - The Mating Game
Lenny Kravitz - If You Can’t Say No (Zero 7 remix)
Thievery Corporation
Sebastien Tellier
FC Kahuna
Sneaker Pimps (Especially “Loretta Young Silks”)
Blockhead
Moloko - Fun For Me
Anything from the Chillout or Lounge channels on www.di.fm

…that ought to get you started at least.

I think you meant Roeder.

Rader is BTK.

Anyone who has ever met Nola Foulston knows it was hard for her to look at the faces of the women around her and announce that Rader didn’t qualify for the death penalty. What that man took from us goes beyond the tangible, and into the ephemeral…he robbed us of a sense of safety, that our rights were protected, and that we mattered as people: not just incubators for the next generation. Now, however, the despicable man has not only FULLY confessed, he’s going with the defense of “justifiable homicide”. He claims he was right to murder Dr. Tiller, because he saved so many unborn children. Doesn’t an outright admission of murder make someone a candidate for the death penalty again? If not, why not? Your opinions on that topic might be different than mine, but I strongly feel like this man and his actions need to be made an example of so the radical anti-choice community will know where the line is firmly drawn. If this man gets a lighter sentence…where will the violence against providers, their staff, and possibly women themselves end? I wish I could mail Rader pictures of botched home abortions. Pictures of motherless children, because mommy went septic after a back alley job. How a uterus looks when it’s been punctured and shredded by some quack scamming desperate rape victims. But people like him just chant their little mantra over and over, and like three year olds singing Twinkle to themselves, the nonsense words drown out all else.
