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.

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

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

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.

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.

That's a good idea!

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.

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.

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.

All rightie then. Thanks :)

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)

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 22 January 2004 03:55 (twenty years ago) link

ten months pass...

Did geeta ever do 1983?

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 27 November 2004 13:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Ah - there's this thread seems to have been superseded.

The official CDR Go! thread

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 27 November 2004 15:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Sorry about the garbled English there.
