So I'm Trying To Ruin This Kid

[Dan #2]

i'm burning him a few discs. He like 50 Cent, Eminem, G-Unit, and those related artists... Recently he has gotten into System of a Down and Slipknot and Marilyn Manson, so he has hope.

 

This is the disc i just burned. I'm working on number three now.

does this friend have an open mind or are you trying to pry it open?

[Dan #2]

I don't know. i've met him for like an hour. He's my mum's boyfriend's son. I hop he has an open mind haha.

 

On disc two, i try to win him over on his playing field, ie rap ;)

 

[borntohula]

you're lovin' the tori amos tracks. have you heard her cover of slayer's "raining blood"???

[Dan #2]

No, for some reason, i own none of her cd's.

 

It's because i just got a job in the last month and i have a fat list of CD's to buy, and i just haven't gotten around to it

 

 

i'm trying to expose him to everything, to see what he likes. i'm hoping there is a few songs on each disc he'll like.

 

It's like spinning around and shooting. You have better odds of hitting someone than if you shoot in the same direction!

[borntohula]

hmmm, good to know.

[Dan #2]

it is.

 

I just find the two Tori Amos songs i have close bunrt discs like no others.

I like closing them with slow pretty songs.

Besides Tori Amos,Aesop Rock/the roots, everything is a bit lame.

[crazycanuck]

That Nas song is brilliant.

 

But dude, first rule of mix tapes is never more than one track by an artist. C'mon!

[Eterna1]

IMO, you're forcing the wrong music down his throat.

Giving a kid that likes rap a mixtape with Kyprios on it, is equivalent to a 40 year old adult saying "yo what's up dawg?"

You'll lose all credibility in one moment. Which is a shame because besides Kyprios, you've got a good mix.

[HoboFactory]

Starting to like SOAD, Slipknot, and Marylin Manson is not a sign that there is hope.

how so?

 

i'm trying to give him lots of stuff. i realise that it is pretty heavy on the screamo, but that's the stuff he likes.

 

He likes other rock other than Slipknot/Manson/SoaD, those are just his favourites.

o rly?

 

sorry, i have just always wanted to say that hahaa. How so? I know nothing about what you humans call 'credibility.'

[Shiri]

Tori Amos seems so out of place there, but I think it's cool.

[CaptainRocket]

I agree with the mixtape rule, personally, though I say never more than two from one artist, and never more than two artists with two songs. But really, it's all about flow.

 

Good effort though. I see myself having to do the same thing for my 12 year old cousin soon...

[goatneck]

the dimmu borgir track = thumbs up

cursive = same

the roots w/erykah badu = good choice

 

everthing else = meh

 

lover i dont have to love is okay though

[Shortcut To Moncton]

What's with all the shity emo/metalcore acts?

[Shiri]

Don't you just love making mixtapes?

[no yu begin wher i end]

Cursive=awesome.

[Disestabulistic]

Don't you just love making mixtapes?

In theory yes, but I never end up using them or giving them to people, so it usualy ends up being a waste of blank disks.

[borntohula]

i make them all the time. it's fun.

[Shiri]

It's a good way of spreading out music most people don't know. I give them to people and so should you!

[Dan #2]

What's with all the shity emo/metalcore acts?

They're fun and catchy, and not in it for the money, like most of the shit he's listening to, and they are out of the mainstream, which will open his eyes to stuff farther out of the mainstream.

 

That's why i put "Her Ghost in the Fog" on their, and not anything off CoF's older CD's, because HGitF is too damned catchy!

 

 

 

 

And as for the one-song-per-artist rule, that's for mixtapes. This is a burnt CD that i'm trying to open a kids eyes with. He seriously does not llike anything outside of MuchMusic at the moment.

[pennies]

easing him off gently with that Nas?

[Dan #2]

What are you talking about? that song is amazing.
