So /mu/, Christmas-time is just around the corner again, and we all know what Christmas is about: Getting cool shit.
I propose that instead of just posting memes on Christmas, we should actually do something for each other to show our appreciation.
And what better way to show your appreciation to fellow /mu/tants than a personal mixtape? There's really no better gift.
The mixtape is a great because you don't need any musical ability or instruments to make one, and it'll probably be the best gift you'll end up giving out this year.
Now I know that people are going to be resistant to this because cassette tapes are outdated for music listening. I totally agree with this, I've never bought a single cassette release in my life. I see no point. They're clunky and look cheap, people who buy them are just doing so because nostalgia.
But the true appeal of cassette tapes lies in their recordability. They're the best out of all the formats for personal recording. Nothing beats em. Buying the proper supplies for few dollars will open you up to a world of audio recording that you can play with forever, without even knowing an instrument.
People will pay $300 for a Macintosh Plus or Death Grips tape, which is an ABSOLUTE scam. They're digital rips anyways, so you can just record your own tape with that music COMPLETELY FREE. That's exactly why cassettes are so great, you can bootleg your own albums for personal use or to gift.
So here's the plan:
If you make a tape, you will receive a tape from a fellow anon. That means you MUST make a mixtape if you want to participate.
All you need to do is send your name and country to the email at the bottom, and include a list things you'd like on your tape. Here's an example:
Crappy Elfenstein
666 N. Euclid Drive
Beach Boys
Daft Punk
Steely Dan
Driving music
Very 80s
[email protected]
Sign-up ends on November 28
Mixtapes must be finished and sent on December 21st
Things you'll need:
1. Cassette deck
You can likely find one at your nearest goodwill or Craigslist for very cheap. I found one for $20 dollars that I'm using (works amazingly), and you can find one for $20-30 on Craigslist.
2. Blank cassette tapes
Also fairly cheap. 60-90 minute cassettes are ideal for this, here's what I typically buy
http://www.amazon.com/Maxell-UR-60-Blank-Audio-Cassette/dp/B000087NBV
3. Music playing device + Aux cord and Aux to 1/8 inch male
You can plug your iPod into a cassette deck and record anything you want. Hell, you can make a cassette tape filled with K-mart music from your smartphone if you really wanted. The possibilities are endless.
Here's a depiction of my set-up for better understanding. Get creative with it. By the way, I only use the smartphone for recordings I can't get anywhere else. This isn't about digital vs analog, it's about embracing all forms technology.

this is a great idea, but NOBODY will put their address.
Rules:
1. No troll tapes. That is, don't send a tape with absolute silence or a constant waveform. Make sure it's listenable. That doesn't mean don't get interesting with it.
2. Try to fill up the entire tape, A side and B side.
3. Feel free to put your own music on it, but don't over-do it. 1 or 2 songs should be enough.
4. You can deviate away from the anon's preference who you will be partnered with, but you must be sure that they will still want to listen to it, judging from their tastes.
5. Fuck copyright
6. Give it a title and make a label
7. Bonus points for really really out-there, creative tapes.

Quality post, my friends
Hey, /mu/. I've been on here for well over a year. I look at peoples' charts all the time and look up what others are recommended/what everyone else is listening to. But I haven't found anything non /mu/core that caught my attention like these albums do. Obviously I don't like sharing #X#'s or my top 50 because everyone just says I'm basic.
Has anyone else found themselves like this? I just haven't really enjoyed much that wasn't /mu/core.
Here's some non /mu/core and see if you like this.
All videos of the album are blocked on YouTube so I suggest acquiring it through other means.
Those albums are classics for a reason. Anyone who chides you for having "/mu/drone" taste or some similar derisive remark is most likely a retard.

Hey /mu/ there's a Devo song I'm trying to remember from their earlier punk hardcore days about sniffing your sisters wet panties
Does anyone know what I'm talking about
I don't think that's Devo. They had plenty of vulgar songs (I need a chick, penetration in the centerfold), but I don't think that's one of them.
>>60467366
i been refused probably
I like to think of myself as a pretty big devo fan and I have no idea what song you're referring to
>hip hop community in general
>Kendrick and J Cole are about equal
>/mu/
>Kendrick is a tier above J. Cole.
Why?
both are fucking trash
thugger is the best rapper of this generation
>>60467349
J. Cole is better
Most people dont get him, tbf I don't want to sound like a cunt but you need to be in a higher level to understand him
>>60467349
hip hop community says Kendrick is a tier above j cole
/mu/ says they're both meme trash
No Chart Thread? That needs to change. Rec, r8 h8, masturb8, just don't be ir8 m8

Is it actually worth listening to? He looks so dead in the eyes when he performs on tv but you can tell he has some passion when he does shit like Maria I'm drunk.

It's fake overproduced crap that only the easy impressionable find interesting. Passive shit music.
ITT: Albums where the 2nd CD is better than the first (B-sides, deluxe editions, double albums).
If only Midnight City was on the 2nd CD too.
Can Nihilism paradoxically be an aesthetic in music? I've come across, what appears to be, concepts presented in music that appear to lack emotion. Perhaps an artist wishes to convey a concept, without any sort of emotional attachment to hinder it it's meaning?
Am I applying a concept that is incompatible with the nature of aesthetics? Can a piece of art be nihilistic in it's nature?
For example, I find that Autechre's work from 2001 to 2005** were filled with "Nihilistic" undertones. Songs like Xylin Room (Posted below), and Parhelic Triangle, from my own experience, have always been incredibly though-provoking and conceptual; and yet I feel that these works are void of specific emotional qualities.
Here is an example from Autechre's album Draft 7.30 from 2003:
Xylin Room
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prCNa4H9pAA
The first half of the above track strikes me as thought-provoking, without any sort of emotional attributes applied.
Any thoughts on this?
**Those albums being Confield (2001), Draft 7.30 (2003), and Untilted (2005)
have you even heard of noise
https://youtu.be/dXYSvbZbiY8
lacking emotion =/= of nihilistic intent
that being said the answer to your question is yes
