The Return of The Mixtape - the September 2024 Spin Challenge!

Day 23 – Sending mixtapes in the mail

Play something from a country far away from you, or play something that references the mail in any way.

Back home and going to try and catch up today!

Snail Mail - Lush

Day 24 – Scotch tape and the record/play-only tabs

Play a record that would be perfect if it was not for that one track that you find just messes it up. Imagine you could just record over it, is there any other track you would replace it with (say a single or B-side from that era)?

Chuck Prophet - No Other Love

I'd actually like to get rid of the title track, just a bore in the middle of a pretty upbeat record.

Thanks to @Turbo for another great month!

Here's the final month-long playlist:

Day 25 – The Boom Box

Play something that might be good to breakdance to. Make Phil Wizard and Ray Gun proud.

Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow

 

[Matt M]

Day 26 – The romantic mix

Play something romantic or play something by one of the bands from the “new romantics” movement of the 80’s.

Depeche Mode - Music for the Masses

Probably New Romantics adjacent

Day 27 – Your friend, your psychiatrist, your solace

Play a record you turn to when you need music to be your friend.

Field Report - Marigolden

 

[Matt M]

Day 28 – Home Taping Is Killing Music

Play something that references pirates or bones, or that includes some sort of warning.

Sons and Daughters - Love the Cup (song is Broken Bones)

Day 29 – The personalized mixtape

Sometimes a record is so perfect for you, it sounds like it was actually made just for you. Play something that feels like that to you.

Cotton Mather - Kontiki

Day 30 - The last track

Time for the last track on your mix. Play something that includes the last song you would put on your mix. Alternatively, play something with a killer last track.

Golden Smog - Weird Tales

Jennifer Save Me is the finisher here and I love that song, but would probably use Looking Forward To Seeing You for the end of a playlist.
