For the end of the world Dangerblade almost got my vote again (that dead can dance track just breaks me every time), but i ended up picking ChubbyHuggs.

This new theme will be challenging.

Nice new sets, but take note that the current theme is "Month After Month After Month" and the others have already passed... although it's never too late for a swell listen. ;p

Month After Month After Month

1. Fourth of July by Sufjan Stevens



2. All the Years by Beach House

677517004250_640W_640H.jpg


3. Calendar Girl by Stars

54d8d429c781ab4176ac91569a4dfe974589f840


I knew just what the song to put for this, but I wasn't quite sure how to build up to it. xD

In a way, altogether it can be viewed as a sentimental posturing by what we eventually see as the character in Calendar Girl, a dying girl, who in the first two go through certain stages of grief and wondering of their own... and there is in fact a contrast between Sufjan Steven's track vs. Calendar Girl that has me sniffling now....whether it be acceptance, hope, or peaceful denial... now my heart hurts. ;_;

ALSO for my End of the World vote, there were plenty of great ones, g'darn. >_< But in the end I loved TheChuggernaut 's mix's head-bopping vibe, those were some colorful, groovily morbid tunes, which were in their own way perfect for world-ending contepmlations... :p Also really loved gforguava's, which nearly edged it..!!

Hear hear! Er, literally! xP

Keep up the mixtapes if you still have any folks... half the day left, technically, going by the time of the theme's posting that is ('round 20:00 GMT time), and to give some extra room for more if anyone wishes to contribute. Feel free to shout out your votes for END OF THE WORLD too!

As before if there is no consensus or it stalls by then though, feel free to choose another theme or a person to do it Dangerblade. ;o

As for Month after Month. Are we doing actual months or just passing of time, because I have two very different playlist to post then.

From the original post, my guess is that the idea was to lean into music about months or short periods. And then everyone immediately proceeded to cheat, me included >_>

Also, you got some extra points already for the use of Lovage.

Open to your own interpretation...that's the beauty of these titles!

If I'm picking who goes next, I'll go for saenima due to the End of the World mix. Still gotta listen to all these month ones...

Awesome idea. Sad I missed the first few themes but I might try to do them anyway later and edit my post.

Here's my Month After Month After Month (I plan to keep Spotify playlists of these as long as I stay in the thread):
  1. Sum 41 - March of the Dogs
  2. Millencolin - The Mayfly
  3. Green Day - You Lied


In case I can (still) vote for End of the World, I go with S.T.A.R.S Beret. Awesome encapsulation of a chaotic end.

I am Really late but here's my playlists for the past 2 themes.
I'll be making playlists of all of my entries to this thread on my spotify to keep them for later if I wanted to revisit. If anyone else is doing the same I'd love to follow you on spotify to keep up with yours.

This was a hard pick...some really good choices. I'm giving it to TissueBox though, Sufjan and then the chill of Beach House and Stars (neither of which I'm overly familiar with but enjoyed those songs)

Oh and I never thought I'd see Amusement Parks on Fire mentioned in here so that's cool too!

Added an edit at the bottom..!

Also yeah, since there was no one with multiple votes Dangerblade elected you for the next title Saenima. ^^'

And OH I love this theme... the ephemeral nostalgia of innocence and all. There's just so many songs to choose from..!! Or the whole first half of Pink Floyd's The Wall for that matter.... *sits down and thinks*

Actually there were 3 votes for your picks. I jumped the gun :(

No worries that's queued for the theme after this one! It's a bit floppy but basically the vote from Mix B ends up choosing the theme for Mix D, while the one from Mix A chooses the one for Mic C, and so on... this is because the alternative would be moving at too breezy a pace for most people I think, so it's instead spaced out a little. ;o I'll try to elaborate on this in the OP..!!

Ahh, a little late but for my Month After Month After Month vote, I have to give it to Dangerblade with a great starter... all three songs were meaty and moody and washed my ears out with fleeting images of bygone Septembers (and Junes, and July's :p)....it's lovely how well they went together. Also wanted to say, however, that song Another Day by 4hero posted by CapitalCorn is AMAZING. *nods*

Still needa get through the Childhood's End mixes..!! >_<

On the other hand, regarding the new theme.... I raise:

AIN'T PERFECT

Mine to be added later in the day..!!

Feel free to vote for your fav Childhood's End mixes..!

My Childhood's End vote is for ChubbyHuggs. The tracks had a cool flow from melancholy to dread that sums up the idea nicely.

A nod to TheChuggernaut and S.T.A.R.S Beret for cohesive playlists that also resonated with me from the point of view that childhood really ends when you reach the end of teenage years and start have to start dealing with failure (love, relationships, etc.)


In case anyone is interested, here's what I put together for one of the previous themes I missed:
Ladies Night Melancholy:
