I'm visiting my niece and nephew in about a week and a half and my brother asked me to make them mixtapes because he knows I'm a music guy. I've done this once before and they seemed to like it a lot so I'm happy to introduce them to new stuff. The girl is about 12 and the boy is about 10. Here's what I picked out for them
G
>Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
>The Sugarcubes - Birthday
>Kate Tempest - Circles
>Ella Fitzgerald - Summertime
>Janis Joplin - Ball and Chain
>Esperanza Spalding - Unconditional Love
>Norah Jones - Tell Me Why (Neil Young Cover)
>Portishead - It Could Be Sweet
>Courtney Barnett - Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go To The Party
>Laura Nyro - Stoney End
>Marina and the Diamonds - Hollywood
>Nina Simone - Feeling Good
>Ani DiFranco - Not A Pretty Girl
B
>Focus - Hocus Pocus
>Outkast - Hey Ya!
>Voltaire - Land of the Dead
>Meat Puppets - Buckethead
>Brother Ali - Forest Whitiker
>Clutch - Rock and Roll Outlaw
>Pixies - Mr. Grieves
>Beastie Boys - Shadrach
>Oysterhead - Mr. Oysterhead
>Captain Beefheart - Sugar N' Spikes
>Danger Doom - Benzie Box
>Van Halen - Ice Cream Man
>Ween - Ocean Man
Am I a good uncle?
all they need is ocean man

you may be right
I would switch the Pixies song to Here Comes Your Man or La La Love You. Also I feel like Yo La Tengo could be nice for younger listeners, Sugarcube or Autumn Sweater maybe.
I feel like your nephew could like some ramones songs, no reason really other than they were my favourite band when i was ten
>>66044406
>La La Love You
why would I make him listen to the worst song on Doolittle
>>66044428
which ones?
>>66044437

Need more Death Grips and Gorgoroth.

>*glass breaks*
>*brother never speaks to me again*
>no pavement

government plates would be very inapropro
i would start easy with no love
>>66044569
can't get too esoteric on em
>>66044559
maybe when the boy is old enough to get stoned and wear shitty longsleeve shirts I'll give him some Pavement
>>66044569
no, but niggas on the moon is the most kid friendly (save 1-2 tracks)
>>66045251
NOTM at their age might paralyze them
Some dream pop might be nice for the girl. Put some Cocteau Twins or Slowdive or something
Bjork could work too, depending on the song
I bet they'd love some Sufjan Stevens, get some Come On! Feel the Illinoise! or Chicago on there
Boy might like some stuff like QotSA or Kyuss I guess
idk out of ideas

What kind of corny fucking family do you come from? Mixtapes? Why the fuck do they need your mixtapes, they have the internet ffs
