liner notes
I live in a little town in West Sussex in the South-East of England.
I am vegan, I (try and) play guitar and am rehearsing with a band in which I wail and shout out of tune like.
I, like most of you, am a music nerd/obsessive.
'Without music, life is a mistake.' Friedrich Nietzsche

The Valentine's Day 2008 Badge
Happy Valentine's day from the MTC staff. We really do love you all. So much so, in fact, that you should probably investigate a temporary restraining order -- we're crazy like that.

Just a mix of songs I'd like to (or think will) be the soundtrack to my summer.

Another mix for my friend Alex. I actually started making this one a long time ago but never got round to finishing it, let alone giving it to her.

The ideal soundtrack for a trip down to Brighton wearing your finest of Dandy attire.
2662 points (Level 6) · 3/11/07 4:18am
This was a mix I made for my friend Alex because she had never been given one before and I felt the need to be first. =] It has a mix of things she already knows and things I thought she'd like.

Some dark/glam/weird songs I threw together that sound good following each other.
Some of you may hate some of the bands, but they still fit the idea. So please keep that in mind.

Gothic/Post Punk mix to indulge in your fantasies too.
(Not actually recommended to listen to during sex, kinky or otherwise.)

This is the standard all songs are covers mix.
If anyone wants any of the covers I am willing to send them via email/messenger so just ask. I can't be bothered to load all the songs up though.

A mix of ghoulish songs to keep with your garlic and cross.
I have decided to elongate and revise my Hallowe'en mix I made earlier as we near the day itself.

The soundtrack to the newest and greatest monster film to hit the cinemas. Oh and my entry to the competition.

A collection of songs that are all over 9 and a half minutes.
Not much else I can say here really.
Actually just noticed the first track on this was track 1 on the album it's from and the last track on this was the last track on the album it's from. If that makes sense...

This is my attempt at the competition.
It is no way going to win, but I had to try.
It's not going to instantly depress you on hearing it, but if you were already sad it definitely wouldn't cheer you up.
One of the songs (Let It Be) may seem out of place to everyone, but that one actually has a story behind it. I shall tell it in the description.
Something I discovered while making the mix is that if you are upset because of a relationship, listening to soulful love songs can only make it worse.

Part 2 of an A-Z of Artistes from the good old United Kingdom. I would just like to point out I am using the first name of Solo artists and ignoring the 'The' of band names.

Exactly as it says on the tin. Some fast songs, some songs about girls, some that are both. About good stuff and bad.
2166 points (Level 5) · 7/26/06 4:02pm
Songs with either Teen or Teenager in the title. This would ideally begin with a soundbite of Molly Ringwald in 'Not Another Teen Movie' saying "Fucking teenagers!".

A mixtape I'd listen to while reading in bed and then drifting off to sleep.

Not necessarily about driving or travel, but music I could listen to while driving.

Just had to thank you again for your latest mixtape. It should be available commercially. I have most of the tracks, but I would buy it! Really really great!

You should definitely watch them, then! Those movies are by far the funniest I've seen. I think you'd like them. If you like Bill Murray, the Wilson brothers and Anjelica Houston, that is, they appear in most of his films. The soundtracks are also full of British bands from the 60's 70's

Oi, I've just recently gotten into The Kinks. Have you watched the new Wes Anderson picture, Darjeeling Limited? It's seriously amazing, as all Anderson's other movies are, and a fair number of Kinks songs appear in it. :)

I had no idea. Who's song is it originally then?
(Omg! You got His Dark Materials on your list! Those books are the best an 8-year old can read and fall in love with... I say that because I read them when I was that age myself. The third book at age 10 though, since it wasn't released until the year of 2000. ANYWAY. Just wanted to let you know how much I love Pullman for this trilogy).

I used to work for Stuart Taylor in a music management company. Back in the day he was a guitarist who joined The Tornados just after Telstar was released.

Did you base your name off of her's?

Mixtape Contest XXV: 1st Place
I remember hearing about some sort of BBC adaptation, but I never got around to watching it. That pissed me off a lot (that they made one) because I had been working on a screenplay based on the book for about 2 years.

I just realized that you like the Rotters' Club. That is so awesome! I bought it when I was 10, and ever since then I have been obsessed with it. I've never met anyone else who has read it.
