Journal buffer-overflowed's Journal: Mix Tape 7
Putting together a mix-tape for a friend of mine who hates hip-hop(yet likes techno), thinks all sorts of wrong things about it, and lives in alaska. Plus I'm tired of listening to the same old mewling indie shit.
Here's what I've put together so far:
1. William Burroughs - Words of Advice for Young People
2. DangerDoom (feat. Cee-Lo) - Benzie box
3. King Gheedora - Anti-matter
4. Company Flow - Birth
5. Aesop Rock - Daylight
6. RJD2 - Smoke & Mirrors
7. DJ Shadow - Organ Donor
8. Latryx - Lady Don't Tek No
9. A Tribe Called Quest - Electric Relaxation
10. Outkast - Synthesizer
11. Blackalicious - Make you feel that way
12. Atmosphere - Trying to find a balance
13. Architecture in Helsinki - In case we die (parts 1 - 4)

2. Baleeted! A lot of hip-hop and rap loses me here because either I don't care for the words, the vocal style, or the Casio keyboard beat starts pissing me off. For those who like the poetry, enjoy, but it's not for me.

That is too bad... do you think he has any Richard D. James (Aphex Twin)? Another favorite of mine is Bloc Party, anything from them is good 'cause they are GREAT! Also try Linkin Park, I like them alot! If you need specific songs... let me know. I can even email you some songs in
