There was a mixtape contest long before I joined the site which required each mix to connect the songs with each other one way or another. Unfortunately I couldn't participate then, but I can still make a mix on the same theme. Actually, the reason is that the monthly mixtape group on last.fm ( http://www.last. fm/group/The+Monthly+Mixtape ) had just this concept as this month's theme.
My plan was pretty simple. There are two "all star" on and off projects in two different parts of the world in different genres of music - The Desert Sessions out of Palm Beach, and Die Haut in Berlin. I wanted to see if I could tie them together (actually, I was quite convinced I could...).

However, when Oliveri was fired from QotSA, he turned Mondo Generator into his full time gig. The band was signed by notorious label Southern Lord, also home to... SHOW LESS

Track 1 from Bullhead

|
Track Description:
Even if Boris are known for mixing up genres and not sticking to one sound for too long, it's not too difficult to hear the influence Melvins have had on them. And not just Boris. Two hangarounds to the band were named Cobain and Novoselevic... Kurt Cobain even auditioned for the band, but didn't get the job. Bass player Joe Preston left Melvins to play with Drone Metal band Earth... SHOW LESS

...but only stuck around for one EP before he went on to join Harvey Milk instead. This live recording was done in 1996 and features...Kurt Cobain on song. Preston was Cobain's next door neighbour, and band leader Dylan Carlson was Cobain's best friend. As a morbid curiosity, Carlson was the one who purchased the weapon that Cobain later killed himself with. SHOW LESS

Track 10 from In Utero
Length: 00:04:51 Year: 1993 |
|
|
Track Description:
When the record company wanted another Smells Like Teen Spirit, Cobain and Nirvana went the other way, returning to a dirty sound more reminiscent of the music they had admired before forming Nirvana. This is probably the closest they ever came to Melvins. Unhappy with their record company, Sub Pop, Kim Gordon recommended DGC where Sonic Youth were signed. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
My version is either from a single or an EP, but the length is the same, so I can't really be arsed to enter it. In 1991, Sonic Youth were touring as the headline act with Nirvana opening for them only months before Nirvana's big breakthrough. Lydia Lunch has appeared with Sonic Youth both on stage and record, most notably perhaps with this song. SHOW LESS

Track 8 from The Boatman's Call
Length: 00:02:45 Year: 1997 |

Track Description:
Nick Cave and PJ Harvey had been a couple for a time during the nineties, and by most accounts the separation was not easy on either of them. At least two songs on Nick Cave's superb album The Boatman's Call are about Harvey and their separation - Black Hair, and this. If that connection seems too tenuous, they have also performed together, most well known on the Murder Ballads single Henry Lee. SHOW LESS

Level 18
This mix could have been much shorter since PJ Harvey participated in one of the Desert Sessions, then PJ to Nick Cave to Die Haut. That would have made a rather short mix though...

One thing leads to another. Very well done & inofmative.
Just think what could have happened (or not happened) if Cobain got that job with the Melvins.
