Stupid Stats

The most popular group/artist to appear on more than one mix

The first MMTC I made a list of artists that had appeared more once on any mix cd. But I never got around to doing MMTC 2. Also I have made a list of the Artists from 1st and 2nd meeting.
Rules:
1. Multiple Artist/Group on one CD mix only counts for one appearance
2. Artists/Group that has appeared a different comp. but by the same aurthor is ok.

3 – Pulp, Stone Roses, Velvet Underground , and You Am I
2 – Ash, Bob Dylan, Death Cab for Cutie, Elastica, Hoodo Gurus, Modest Mouse, New Order, Pavement, Phoenix, Rocket Science, Roxy Music, Smudge, Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, The Beach Boys, The Detroit Cobras, The Essex Green, The Libertines, and The Rolling Stones.

MMTC 1
3 - Flaming LIps
2 – Beck, Bob Dylan, Tim Buckley, Gomez, Spiritualized, The Byrds, and The Rolling Stones

MMTC 1 & 2
4 - You Am I, Flaming Lips, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan

3 - Teenage fanclub, Velvet underground, The Beach Boys, Stone Roses, Stereolab, Spiritualized, Sonic Youth, Pulp, and Gomez.

Lee`s Mix (Liner notes)

I know not all of you have it yet but anyway, I didn't include any notes in my compilation, "Not Tested On Animals", so I thought I'd write some here.

The comp. was initially going to be a lazy Sunday afternoon record. My idea was to start with some slower songs and then gradually build up to the more uptempo stuff by the end. I guess I kind of achieved that but in the end I don't really think it's the laid back kind of comp. I envisioned. It's definitely more easy going then my last one though.
---
In the track sources, I left out that Etta James' "Tell Mama" is from 1968. The version I put on is from a brilliant comp. called "Chicago Soul" which was put out last year by the masters of compliation albums, Soul Jazz Records.
This song is also on Etta's amazing Tell Mama album that came out in '68, albeit in a very slightly different mix. If you like this song, the album is a must...great slow blues mixed with classic uptempo Southern r&b/soul stuff. Recentley remastered and expanded with awesome bonus tracks.
---
Golden Smog was a superband made up of members of Wilco, Big Star, Soul Asylum and The Jayhawks.
---
The Rolling Stones song is Keith on vocals. A bit obvious but I thought I'd mention it anyway just in case anyone thought it was Mick with a respiratory problem :-)

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who participated in the mix tape exchange!

It was great to see some familiar faces, and will be even better to listento the mixes! Sadly not everyone was able to make it, so I haven't recieved all of theCD's. Fortunately I was able to collect for those who were unable to makeit, so I have got a massive bunch of cds for any no-shows or latesubmitters - & i've even got enough if anyone has to changed their mind.

Again Thanks to everyone who is a part of collective. Personally I findthat It is a great opportunity for me to learn so much more about musicthat I would not have known about, if it wasn't for the collective, so I amso very grateful to everyone for all of the submissions.

For those who were unable to come yesterday, shoot me an email so we canfind a time to swap our cds/tapes.

Once I have recieved the remaining cds, I will arrange to pass on the restof the CDs to everyone else

Bye for Now
