i am thinking about doing a 2000.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 1 December 2003 08:41 (twenty years ago) link

I was joking around above, but I'd love to see someone do a year like that... or 1917 or whatnot. I don't have the knowledge (beyond some pop & klez stuff)/music collection for it, but perhaps someone could volunteer... AMATEURIST I'M LOOKING AT YOU!

― s1utsky (slutsky), Monday, 1 December 2003 19:15 (twenty years ago) link

2000 will be done by earlier this evening.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 1 December 2003 19:16 (twenty years ago) link

fiddo doesn't fuck around. or more like, he fucks around a lot. isn't that twice gene simmon's record?

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 1 December 2003 19:18 (twenty years ago) link

Matos, you saw my 1984 short list, right?

Also, I know you're doing a 1920's double-disc set, but I'd still like to do 1927. (Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex and Blind Willie Johnson, yum yum.)

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 1 December 2003 19:19 (twenty years ago) link

Also, I think we should get to work on completing a decade so we offer these nice little CD-R box sets...

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 1 December 2003 19:22 (twenty years ago) link

waah! db, I'm putting finishing touches to a list for '87 now. Do you mind awfully? I haven't started burning yet

― J eff W (zebedee), Monday, 1 December 2003 19:42 (twenty years ago) link

1970 by week's end. Mike--can we compromise? I've been working on the 20s for months...I could send you a list.

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 1 December 2003 19:43 (twenty years ago) link

I'll be working on '68 this week.

― bad jode (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 1 December 2003 19:45 (twenty years ago) link

waah! db, I'm putting finishing touches to a list for '87 now. Do you mind awfully? I haven't started burning yet

Jeff, wanna unite our lists and collaborate?

I don't think anyone has truly collaborated on a Go! disc yet, and I think this is a GREAT experiment for this project. Democracy may make us enemies in the end, but I think this will produce a kick-ass 1987 disc... and I think we're generally on the same page musically.

Email me.

U+K QUESTION FOR JESS:

Yello "Oh Yeah!"

Orig. from 1985's "Stella", yet only massively popular in 1987 (thanks to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"). If you are NOT putting this on your comp, I will cheat slightly and snag it.. but only if you're not using it, as 1985 is its "proper" place.

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 1 December 2003 19:59 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, don't worry about it, Matos. There's no reason why there can't be a 20's overview AND seperate ones for each individual year...but that can be fussed over once you finish.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 1 December 2003 20:00 (twenty years ago) link

but I need ideas! can you email me what you have?

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 1 December 2003 20:01 (twenty years ago) link

I will mail you tomorrow, db

― Jeff W (zebedee), Monday, 1 December 2003 20:04 (twenty years ago) link

Thanks, Jeff. (See, I was hoping a thread like this would have prevented tears in the near future... not that there's any guaranteed lack of them! muahahahahahahahahaa)

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 1 December 2003 20:15 (twenty years ago) link

Matos, check yr e-mail.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 1 December 2003 20:37 (twenty years ago) link

Mike, check yours

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 1 December 2003 21:04 (twenty years ago) link

Okay, I'm going to get down to business tonight. And if anyone knows a place where I can find archives of the French charts, I will be eternally grateful.

― Sarah Pedal (call mr. lee), Monday, 1 December 2003 21:20 (twenty years ago) link

my claws are clutching at precious 1959, probably ready around the end of 2003.

― rgeary (rgeary), Monday, 1 December 2003 21:43 (twenty years ago) link

Jeff, you know my REAL address, right?

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 07:24 (twenty years ago) link

Damn, Jess already did 1996 (I just wanted an excuse to include "Swallowed" on something).

Has '91 been done by anyone? (If not, I'm in.)

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 07:34 (twenty years ago) link

mommy, they're taking all the years I wanted to do!

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 07:44 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, scratch that. 1991 has too many canonical choices to sift through, I think I'll look for a crappier year ('98?).

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 08:24 (twenty years ago) link

btw 2000 is done, in case anyone missed it.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 14:01 (twenty years ago) link

1976, 1986. Due date?

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 15:24 (twenty years ago) link

And if anyone knows a place where I can find archives of the French charts, I will be eternally grateful

The Hit-Parade national was only created in oct. 1968, but some popular records of the year are listed here

― Bruno- (Bruno-), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:26 (twenty years ago) link

no, here : http://www.district-parthenay.fr/parthenay/creparth/russeilwi/1968.html

― Bruno- (Bruno-), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:29 (twenty years ago) link

You mean here. (Sarah's doing 1965.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:38 (twenty years ago) link

Is 1975 or 1971 reserved? Because I want to do one of them after 1984.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:41 (twenty years ago) link

Michael, do 1971.. that's the year I was born. I'd think you'd do an outstanding job. (hint: "things get a little easier... once you understand")

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:44 (twenty years ago) link

Heh heh heh. As 1971 is my year too, yes, Mike, go forth.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:45 (twenty years ago) link

NO! NO! NOT THAT SONG!

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:45 (twenty years ago) link

IT'S TOO LATE! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:48 (twenty years ago) link

Ha! That's 1972.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:51 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, but wait...it peaked on the Billboard charts on January 1, 1972! Pretty damned close!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:53 (twenty years ago) link

Weird.. another source ("The Worst Records" book) says 1971.

And because it peaked on New Years 1972, it HAD to have been released in 1971, no?

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:05 (twenty years ago) link

please god no MAKE IT STOP!

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:05 (twenty years ago) link

(HAHAHAHA, goddamn, what a fucked up way to musically ring in 1972. Were people possibly singing this song at New Years parties back then along with "Auld Lang Sine")

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:06 (twenty years ago) link

"Things get a little EASIER! Once Matos understands!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:07 (twenty years ago) link

Matos, may I remind you of "The Americans" by Bryan MacGregor, or possibly "Dear Mr. Jesus" by Powersource? Will that make the pain seem relatively small?

Don't make me bring out the big guns like The Escape Club or Robbie Nevil.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:07 (twenty years ago) link

Here's where I tried getting Nate to join the DARK SIDE.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:13 (twenty years ago) link

It needs a home, Michael. The song is orphaned. You are that foster parent.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:14 (twenty years ago) link

(The Tom T. Hall and Johnny Nash tracks I suggested are inarguably perfect, however -- even if Nate didn't use 'em.)

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:15 (twenty years ago) link

"Dear Mr. Jesus" is the black hole of popular music, from which vantage point everything looks good.

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:15 (twenty years ago) link

or possibly "Dear Mr. Jesus" by Powersource?

http://hipsterdetritus.blogspot.com/regalspaz.JPG

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:16 (twenty years ago) link

x-post to Michael...Besides, I stole Alex Chilton's "My Rival" from 1979 from Nate for the '78 comp, because he denied it too.. or just never used it.

Matos: see? Mr. Jesus makes everything seem good.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:16 (twenty years ago) link

and I'm still mystified that he didn't use ANYTHING off the first Paul Simon album! or "I Can See Clearly Now"! and and and and and....

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:16 (twenty years ago) link

I'd forgotten COMPLETELY about "Dear Mr. Jesus" until Nate blogged about it. I wrote him a very angry letter afterward. That was over a year ago and I have still not forgiven him.

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:17 (twenty years ago) link

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

http://www.jokerstears.com/wrestlers/hacksaw/duggan002.jpg

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:18 (twenty years ago) link

I don't see how "Dear Mr. Jesus" is more atrocious than something like, oh, Gloria Estefan's "The Words Get In The Way".

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRHHHHHGGGG!!

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:20 (twenty years ago) link

You can do whatever you want Thomas, and post the track listing and all that. We've just informally kept it to one person per year because:

* just so there doesn't arise a case where people feel like they're "competing" with each other, which i think would bring out the worst in mixes, imho, since the whole notion of "mix competition" is really silly to begin with
* We already have a system in place that allows you to "protest" exclusions from a given year, read above
* I think more interesting mixes arise from years that you might, gasp!, not necessarily have as your first choice...i.e. it forces you to do some research and discover things you never discovered before

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 20:45 (twenty years ago) link

Neither 1978 nor 1988 were my first choices actually. With 1978, I was all "Someone give me a year" and Matos gave me '78. If you look on top, I originally wanted to do 1987, but Jeff W came in at the last minute with an almost finished mix himself (and turned out to be a GREAT impetus for this thread, for fear of parallel duplicate year mixes), so I just shifted over a year, and now I'm having a blast.

Again, there really are no "rules". This is just a little community thing, and having people "filling in" the unclaimed years as opposed to redoing another year would make the communal project more effecient, challenging, and fun, me thinks.

I just speak for myself though.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 20:47 (twenty years ago) link

and one more thing, you'd have to PH3AR DA SHA-DOUGH UV 0TT'Z 8TEE-S1XX M1XX, D00D

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 20:50 (twenty years ago) link

I used her, she used me, but neither one cared-- we were gettin' our share. Workin' on our night moves.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 21:31 (twenty years ago) link

Just wanted some feedback, and I 'preciate yours, Donut Bitch. I ended up choosing '86 because I wanted a year that wasn't obvious (for me, that would've been '84 and '88), and that would be a challenge (discussed the matter with some ILM-posting pals). Got the link to Ott's '86, but didn't look at the tracklisting; that would be like cheating, methinks.

― Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 22:32 (twenty years ago) link

Heh, you could make this the Ultimate Musico Geeko version of the game Boggle, where you send off, like, four or five people to put together a 100 song mix CD from ONE YEAR, and you only get to include the songs that were mentioned no more than once.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 22:44 (twenty years ago) link

That's a good idea!

― Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 22:44 (twenty years ago) link

1960 seems to be kind of unclaimed. I'm not claiming it as such but I'm starting an experiment. Rob can still do it if he wants.

1960 - pick one track and pass on the baton till a CDR700 of stuff is made

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 23:11 (twenty years ago) link

that's a terrible idea! I like odd stuff but obscurantism for its own sake is so boring.

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 18 December 2003 00:09 (twenty years ago) link

"Song being mentioned once" != "obscure". The exercise is highly dependent on the people involved of course. I think it's interesting to see the results of such an exercise, and..um.. don't immediately see what's so terrible about it.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 18 December 2003 00:30 (twenty years ago) link

Its the reverse psychology that would make it fun. "Ooh, I bet she's gonna put X on that list, so I will too, but then maybe she won't because she knows I know that, therefore i won't", etc.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 18 December 2003 00:32 (twenty years ago) link

Good or terrible idea, it's musically obsessive to a creepy degree, no doubt..haha

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 18 December 2003 00:33 (twenty years ago) link

I dunno, maybe I'm thinking more in terms of older years where musical overproduction wasn't as rampant as it is now--there's no doubt ten people could have completely different lists for any year from about '91 on and they'd all be equally valid. earlier on, that's less likely, which isn't to say it's impossible. but I guess I'm enough of a (pick one) innate populist/sucker that I want to hear megahits rub up against three-people-bought-this just for variety's and/or cognitive dissonance's sake. the thing I like about the ones I've seen/heard thus far is that they take that principle to heart. I hope I don't sound too much like a cop when I say I'd like to keep that tradition (haha "tradition") going.

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 18 December 2003 00:46 (twenty years ago) link

Well, i thought the above idea was good as a game primarily, not as much for making the best compilations.

One person
one heart
one CD
many loves

The bottom line here is further ILM-Pitchfork prejudice as I'm the only one being targeted for upstaging!!

(Excuse to remind you to please see my recently added cover in the 1986 thread if you missed it).

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Thursday, 18 December 2003 03:04 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, Ott, as more of a lurker/reader than poster, I'd forgotten you were Pitchfork. Until now, that is.

― Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:13 (twenty years ago) link

(me thinks Ott was nyukking us)

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:49 (twenty years ago) link

Possibly. But remembering the Ott v. ILM "battles" of past years, one can never be certain.

― Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Thursday, 18 December 2003 17:47 (twenty years ago) link

Haven't heard from Milo about 1991. If he's ditching this, I'm taking it over. Milo?

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 18 December 2003 22:54 (twenty years ago) link

It's all yours, I gave up hope a hundred posts back. I know zilch about 1991, and no time to research. If a round two comes along, I'll give something a go then.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 19 December 2003 01:51 (twenty years ago) link

All rightie then. Thanks :)

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 19 December 2003 04:16 (twenty years ago) link

one month passes...

I know y'all's're obsessed with the whole Rough Guide thing (which I have found myself woefully underprepared to actually contribute to sans the usual Beck/indie rap stuff) but hey, 2003. Maybe not as good as Matos', but at least it's... uh... yeah.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Thursday, 22 January 2004 03:02 (twenty years ago) link

I'll be starting a brand new page for the "Go!" community, which will have links to ALL the completed threads dedicated to each "Go!" CD... unfortunately, I'm working a fucking 70 hour work week now, so it will have to wait for the time being... (thank the gods for overtime pay)

Did geeta ever do 1983?
