last night i tried to make a mixed tape called "the ultimate make-out tape" it got really complicated. this is who is on it so far: al green d'angleo katherine whalen freakwater mazzy star macy gray mighty sparrow meshell ndegleocello hazeldine so what's on your ultimate make-out tape?

Probably Orbital's "The Box." But I don't know what else I'd put on. Hm. I'll have to think about this one.

I've heard of three of those artists. I think I need help.

This morning at the gym the background music was Barry White. Theres something so wrong about lifting stupid weights when Barry is hmming in the background.

Yeah, really.

This thread is just kismet. I was talking to someone the other day about music to shit by (don't ask). And that led us to music to bonk by. Then yesterday, I was aimlessly wandering around a record store and came across a CD called "Music to Bonk By". I laughed myself smart. Anyways, here's some of the more silly tunes: Push It...Salt N Pepa Bitch...Meredith Brooks To Be With You...Mr Big The Only Way is Up...Yazz and the Plastic Population. It was a double CD.

i'm serious! i really want to know!

Ok. Ok. Phillip Glass String Quartet

you need some aretha franklin. "rock steady". cassandra wilson. and some bob marley. femi kuti "beng beng beng" miles davis "sketches of spain". tribe called quest "low end theory" seal (1991) traffic "low spark of high heeled boys" (but just that one song) i'd throw in some al green, barry white, james brown, ella fitzgerald, bill withers, tony allen, and stevie wonder in there too. i dunno. i gotta turn this damn thing off. i think it's rotting my brain.

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong... "They can't take that away from me." (if that's what it's really called?) Dire Straits Maybe some Counting Crows. Anything (well, almost anything) from Cirque de Soliel's "Mystere."

Since my boom box in the bed room broke, i have to rely on my 50s Magavox Hi-Fi to generate das fucken musik....only certain records will play on that thing.....here's a list of my bedroom jivin tunes: Etta James-Etta Rocks the House (check out the cover too, she got a sprained writst and is STILL dishin it out....) http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002O9D.01.LZZZZZZZ.gif Stevie Wonder-12 Year Old Genius Mongo Santamaria-El Pussy Cat Tony Bennett Parliament Burt Baccharach Dave Brubeck to name a few, again these aren't necessarily by choice, its just whats available to me.....Etta and Mongo are usually reserved for the real headboard hurtin occassions

heart- "crazy on you." brian eno ambient shit. that's all i can think of right off the bat. oh, of course, led zeppelin and pink floyd, but you need to be high.

ratt whitesnake poison bon jovi (early) dokken great white stryper (for post coital guilt) i love to fuck. goddamn. the songs don't matter, the order does.

Sex. Bon Jovi. Not two ideas I often associate. It would give me memories of my first Bon Jovi album, when I was maybe 10 or 11 and the only girls I knew beat me up. are we talking "make-out" music or music to fuck by? Totally different things, yah? fuckmusic is Black Sabbath, The Specials, The Cure, and the Clash; maybe moby.

I'm sure I've told this story before. but my four stories keep becoming marginally relevant. at the start of a world-class hours-long makeout session this spring, I had the first mazzy star album in one of the slots on the stereo and he said it was boring (it was someone else's house and I was able to pretend I hadn't chosen it). but opal was fine. then toward the end, when he had to leave to go back home to his girlfriend, a cole porter/ella fitzgerald collection was on. "I have to go," he said. "I mean, I had to go two hours ago. but now I really have to go." I took my shirt off. he picked me up, carried me and then he kissed me. then "every time we say good-bye" came on. he laughed. "I can't believe this is playing." then I kissed him.

Orbital, Underworld, Moby, and Lunatic Calm. Godo music for making out/all that's associated.

ha ha. cat said, "laughed myself smart." i've never heard that. i think i'll take each and every opportunity to use it.

I forgot No. 1 Crush, by Garbage. Damn. There's always more.

usually when I hear the "Faithlift" album from Spirit of the West I feel like I want to be naked with someone. John Mann's voice gets me waydowndeep.

lessee...moby, bt, some cranberries (when they're not busy being depressed), anything on the city of angels soundtrack, "dark blue" by no doubt. i think i'll use my day off tomorrow to make a kick ass happy tape. and i'll call it the "kick ass happy tape". makes sense.

If I wanted to be reminded of my junior high school back of the Dodge Polaris stationwagon makeout days, it would certainly have Boston (I see my Maryanne walking away) (Day is night in New York City, smoke like water runs inside) Nowadays, Tony Bennett, Bill Evans solo piano stuff, Frankie, Mel Torme.

Never really made out to music, although Nirvana's last studio album may have sparked a make-out/bonk session once. I can't imagine making out to the Specials! I would put on some: Isley Brothers The Roots Cry On Cue (especially the new album) Marvin Gaye Led Zeppelin (c'mon! If you can do it to Black Sabbath, you can definitely do to the massive beats of John Bonham) The "Dreams of Freedom" mix by Laswell of Marley tunes The Clash's Sandinista! Frank Zappa: Apostrophe, the one with San Ber'dino on it, and SHut up and play yer guitar (for bonking)

Also: Solas, Any Junior Wells album, Willie Nelson, and for Raunchy sex, Queens of the Stone Age.

i meant music for "making out". not fucking. but who am i to draw those lines?? thanks for all the good ideas..... a friend of mine has spent weeks trying to create the perfect makeout tape..... my theory is, there is no one perfect makeout tape.

ahhhh MAKING OUT...sorry since we usually MAKE OUT in the living room before we run pants-around ankles to the bedroom.....i would say.... ANY Hendrix....he tendss to make me feel alittle aggressive with most of his songs, not that i NEED to be any more aggressive, im with sem on the junior wells tip....that guy just drips a hot, sultry, cop-a-feel disposition if I am under the influence, feeling lucid, something like Suicide, Neu, Spacemen 3.....Loop will do. if it's one of those, cold, rainy, under the sheets sleepy time feel ups, somethign like Mazzy Star, Slowdive, Coedine or Galaxy 500 will do.

AC/DC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap?

Or AC/DC I've Got Big Balls....

we always started making out to ER.. Before we got married that is. Sick, huh? Maybe we found it so boring..........

I think it would be fun to make out to The Genitorturers... ...not so certain about "with".

Anything reggae,gets my cushion a'pushin

Reggae? Really? I'm sorry.

I'm not.

Well, as long as you're not, that's what matters, yo.

Sem... the specials were solidly in the "music to bonk to" section. There's something hilarious about going at it with "Naked woman, Naked man" in the background.

*laugh*

Gregory Isaacs Night Nurse on a loop would probably do the trick... endless smolder...

Ooh! Ooh! I got one! Morphine! yeah. Just finished off a mix tape with Sorabji vaguely in mind... it starts with Nirvana, and ends with Morphine's "Souvenir." Damn, that's a song. *slurp*

Morphine for SURE!

glenn danzig IV, led zeppelinII, black sabbath/black sabbath, melvins-houdini, melvins-stoner witch, mercyful fate-melissa, jeff buckley-grace

Choose Bread. Play it on your eight-track.

Isolde, you pretty much covered my list. You rock. I nearly killed my roommate with a smint. He popped it and immediately chewed it. Too much lemon for him all at once. Lemon good.

Just ordered "give 'em the boot," (the best music $5.00 can buy) and another album. It was one of those "close your eyes, point, and purchase that one" experiences. Anybody heard of 764-HERO before?

shit Lemonheads are more dangerous than Smints

At least, lemonheads are much more effective ammuntion for slingshots.

T-Bone: you are my new God, man. Yes, lemonheads are very dealy in comparison to smints. I have a purple ice cream glass! Which I will never eat ice cream in, since it's not vegan!

should i beg? i've been avoiding the whole smint thing, but now... i'm feeling a little left out of the ring. how the hell can i go through life without knowing what a smint looks and tastes like? isolde... i'll make you a clock... or a ... jesus and the devil box if you send me some smints. i know i'm setting myself up for rejection by actually desiring something. please be kind. i've spent the day crying like a baby.

764-HERO, I just got their new record but haven't listened to it. Their other record - Get Up Here and Stay - that I have is incredible. Like the Spinanes they get so much sound out of just a few instruments. Didn't see them last time they were here, need to this time tho. I've actually been grooving to the Marshall Crenshaw retrospective CD. I made dinner tonite shakin' my booty to it. Leads with his first single, a song called 'Something's Gonna Happen' that blew me away. Very Blondie 'Hanging On the Telephone' by Marshall's own admission. I sure wish pop music was still in fashion. I have never had a lemon Smint but I do recommend these Organic Gingermints... damn, what company makes them? It's in my purse somewhere.

Annes makes them, I know. Bell_Jar, mail me your address. I'm ordering a new box, because I only have a few packs left. But I will dash one off to you.

ooh! gingermints! (the lemonmints are also very very good) i have a box (empty containing a poem "pomagranate"...seemed appropriate) in my poetry journal...just a sec... speakeasy. i've found them at nature's and i think freddy's sells them too...

Oh, yeah... Smint makes peach flavoured mints. When nerd boy and I went to order more, we thought about getting peach...

????? nobody mentioned tricky. overcome, and prolly a few others after that.

Speakingof, Swine! Yo! Ever get those discs?

Pez - I'm gonna try the lemonmints just because you told me they were good. The peppermints they make made my mouth feel funny. Prolly just another of my 1,000,000 food allergies dammit!

EVERYONE should make an ultimate makeout tape, and then do a random tapeswap?

Everyone should make an ultimate make out tape for Mark!

Everyone should ultimately make out with Mark and tape it.

Hrm. That wasn't quite what I was thinking...

Let's get it on,that's a good one.I can't remember who sings it.I'm all for making our own mix's.

Victoria's Secret Gift Box selections each holiday, especially if the music comes delivered in person by velvet clad Christmas Prezzent, half asleep and a little tosselled, smiling. Any music is good when the company is good. You make your own when the company is exquisite. You hear the universe when the two harmonize, right? Just a thought. A second: Phillip Glass's anything, Paul Winters' Prayer for the Wild Things, or any Hopi crying music with heavy drums.

debussy, dandy warhols, a bit of bloodhound gang (when pac-man's not on crack...). make out tape exchange? sounds like a good idear!

making out to Debussy? whoa. I couldn't get it on to a song called "night of the dead infants" or whatever that song is called. "song of the dead infants?" at any rate, none for me, thanks.

Tom, you're probably thinking of Ravel's Pavane for a Dead Princess, or possibly Mahler's Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children), although Ravel is much closer in style to Debussy than Mahler. Debussy would be kind of a strange makeout session. If you're going with Glass, try some Steve Reich, like Music for 18 Musicians. Although I can't really imagine making out to that either. I like to put on the headphones and lie on the floor and space out to the latter.

Yeah. I'm a big fan of Korngold, actually, for making out music. Not much classical, though. I like to make out to sad music. I don't know why this is. I like a lot of baroque stuff out of the bedroom, but it's too peppy for me.

Korngold??? Well, he's got a nice violin concerto, but he was mostly a film composer.

Yes. Exactly. He was _the_ film composer, and his work is awesome.

J, "Let's get it on" is by Marvin Gaye.

that is a perfect song....

Don't forget Percy Sledge,When a Man Loves a Woman.

debussy would be strange. it does make for good meditation music. i've got a tape "debussy for daydreaming". i love debussy a lot but i almost prefer tchkoyshy (i know i spelled it wrong but i'm lazy) because of his ballets. i love swan lake and romeo & juliet. once i sprained my ankle in second grade. after i hopped home my mom set me up in an easy chair and i listened to a fantasia record for hours.

Can't believe no one's said Chet Baker ('specially My Funny Valentine)...If you can't get it with that CD on and a bottle of wine you just don't deserve it!

who? sorry, i'm uneducated.

Chet Baker!!!!!???? cmon Pez.. and you play in the school jazz band? "...Let's get lost........" white jazz player from the 50s and 60s..... you know what Bellman these topics are so damn infinite....we could pull "but what about"-s out of our collective ass all day long......

Alright y'all. Mail _your_ ultimate makeout tape to: (e-mail me to find out my real name) Box 82 Caspar, California, 95420 I'm going back to California for a bit, so I can snag the tapes and mail them off in December, when I come back for holiday. Your tape must be postmarked by November 30--e-mail me with your name and address when your tape has been posted. When all have been collected, I will forward them to other participants in the ultimate make out tape mail orgy!

Jazz trumpeter vocalist http://www.linder.com/baker/index.html http://www.linder.com/baker/time.ram I'm only guaranteeing the My Funny Valentine disc tho. You're on your own with the others although with a bit more technique they may work as well. I don't care if your intended 'victim' doesn't like jazz...it'll usually still work.

Yes Patrick...this could go on forever, but ya gotta admit his stuff is pretty much right up this ally.

correction: i played tenor saxophone for one semester in the stage band (secondary jazz band, beginning jazz). the title "my funny valentine" sounds familiar and chet baker sounds familiar...but i might be thinking of warren baker who i've met several times. i've always been more of a "classical" musician. there's never been much jazz in the house, just some blues...stevie ray vaughn and all that. i like jazz...i'm just not very well aquanted with it.

Oh yeah, and please enclose postage.

Chet Baker is known for bringing white audiences what the black jazzmen had been doing for years....he offered bebop lite, him and brubeck...at the time, they were credited for the jazz revival in the late 50s early 60s....in reality it was due to peeps like Miles, Bird, Ellington, Lester Young, Dizzy ...but most critics were white, and well, bigots......now when Chet sang...HE SANG, he was up there...but the music....well... i cant deny that at all Bell. One of my most favorite record scores of all time was in a thrift store. I got a copy of Chet baker Sings and Plays last time i was at a nerdy record store, they had a copy on the wall for $99...i paid $0.99, for it....it has all the great tunes on it......

And to continue my message in three parts, the first person who posts their tape will recieve _my_ ultimate make out tapes...wouldn't you like to know how many hours of snogging goodness that is?

heh. digging around Liquid (a music store in San Luis Obispo), I found a British comp album called "shagging and snogging." Don't remember where it is, though. Remember it had elastica and lots of bands I didn't recognize. That was all of three years ago, though, and I've only really been opened up to music for the last two years of my life. Play, Mingus, Play.

Whoops. Forgot to include postage. Tell you what, Isolde, send it C.O.D. to me if you want, or just send a bill or sumpthin. Yes, I actually made a make out tape and sent it. I think it stands a chance of working, especially side B. Of course, the ultimate for Panty-Removal (not just make-out inducer) is the Isley Brothers box set. For future reference.

Excellent. Thanks, Sem.

Hazeldine like from Albuquerque Hazeldine?

Elvis Costello's Blood and Chocolate.

Can we do tapes that aren't about like mashing and shit? I need to put together a good workout tape for my ex-boss since I told him Metallica were wussies and he should be working out to White Zombie.

Maybe. Talk to my agent.

i just put the middle five Afghan Whigs cd's in and hit shuffle... either that or side 3 of the Honeysuckle Rose Soundtrack... ..unless, of course i'm alone, in which case it's The Cure's Disintegration....

Margret: Slipknot. and Clutch. *pauses to reflect on the deeper meanings inherent in doing jumping jacks to "welcome to planet motherfucker."* *sigh*

I've got a tentative list for the ultimate makeout tape... needs some work though. so far: Tom Waits Lou Reed Morphine STP dada Joy Division maybe some old 97s. maybe.

Donny and Marie, the Christmas Album. mmmmmmmmm......Marie.......

workout metal? The End of Silence, Rollins Band. My own ultimate anyway. Also, Slayer for aerobics. Also, Kittie, Prong, Soulfly. Metallica are wussies. Although, Master of Puppets is probably a decent worokout album, especially Leper Messiah.

Since I don't work out, I don't have a good workout album. I think I should start working out so I can make one.

Weird. I was just having this conversation with someone the other night. He asked what I thought the best music to fuck to was. I said, Morphine Tom Waits (Closing Time--for more sappy sex) Portishead Barry White (no, really) I've since thought of a handful more... Astor Piazolla Toad Depeche Mode (i dont wanna sound queer or nothin') nin cure mmmm. oh my.

Hahahaha. Once, in a drunken stupor...I downloaded Mr. Big's "To Be With You" and made it into my voice mail answering message.. "I'm the one who wants to (insert screaming) LEAVE A MEEEESSSSSAGE. Deep inside I know you want to LEAAAAAAVE A MESSAGEEEEEEE. Waiting on the line, just to be the next to LEAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE A MESSSSAAAGE." no, it wasn's as ammusing to anyone else.

Indeed. I have Crystal Method's "Coming Back" on my answering machine right now. "you keep coming back for more....you keep coming back for more...leave a message." Not very creative. I need to change it. Any suggestions?

Ultimate Fuck Tape By Skooter Lee Roth... !. Miles Davis- Anything by him. 2. Parliment/P Funk- Anyhting by these cats makes you get some AZZ! 3. Dr Dre- See above #2 4. Red Hot Chili Peppers- Blood Sugar Sex Magix. Self explanitory. 5. The Cure- Wish. 6. Mr Bungle- Self titled album for kinky sex. 7. Marilyn Manson- Portrait of an American Fanily. 8. NIN- Pretty Hate Machine (Kinda I Want to!) 9. Pharycde- Second Album. 10. Tori Amos- Boys for Pele

You really gota check out the Isley Brothers, man. They totally beat P-Funk by a mile. As I amy have mentioned previously, the only album I can credit in helping me "get some' was Nirvana's last studio album, which I don't even own anymore. However, i think I may be able to use the isley Brothers box set as a much better replacement, hopefully really soon.

It's like that scene from Diner.

So I was searching for the poem that contains the line "Play, Mingus, Play", only I can't remember anything else about it, and it's driving me crazy. This conversation was the only web result that popped up on Altavista. Maybe I have the words wrong. Still, it kinda freaked me out. Especially considering: " By Cat on Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 07:26 pm: This thread is just kismet. " Anyone know the poem? email me.

Very freaky. I wrote something in this thread about Philip Glass...and this morning I had reason to remember why I wrote that in the first place. The first time I've thought about it in a year and now this thread gets dredged up like encrusted gold bullion.

Hey! Thats my newest hobby. I've become a prospector/treasure hunter. Had my first go at it last week-end. We went panning for gold.Didn't find bullion,but found a little.I hid mine from my family,cause I don't trust em. I'm also gonna make a complicated treasure map,[in case my family kills me],so that some clever person will have to figure out my clues,to find my gold. heh heh heh

I'm jumping on this thread kinda late--- Ultimate makeout toons: Morphine, "You look like Rain". Tom Waits, "Nobody" (off "nighthawks at the diner") Elvis Costello, "I Want You"---at least I THINK that's the title---great stalker music--- ULTIMATE PHUCK(Hell---ultimate album to have an orgy to)---Miles Davis---"Bitches Brew".

my step -pop used to take us panning. What fun. We'd drive up to the various creeks and rivers in the N. Georgia mountains. We found mainly rubies but scraps of gold from time to time. Nothing worth more than a dollar or two. But a very fun rewarding thing to do. Sitting on a creek bed sand bar with your feet in freezing mtn water.

My brother and I went to Calvert Cliffs, on the western shore of the Chesapeake, a few weeks ago and panned for sharks' teeth in the estuary stream that meats the ocean. My brother found one (small) tooth. On the cliffs, we found lots of scallop fossils, and two of them are sitting on top of my monitor right this very moment.

I should have realized I was in the company of fellow treasure hunters! :) I enjoy the outdoors sooooooo much,and am glad to have an excuse to go tromping around in alligatorless waters. I can't wait to design myself a clever and gaudy "prospectors hat".Not much I enjoy as much as weary hidious headwear.It gives me a little thrill,to know I look utterly ridiculous in my designs. Life can be rewarding.

In its own special ways yes.
