chairdriver Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I work at an independent cinema, and I've been asked to make a mixtape CD to play in one of the smaller screens between film showings. I want you guys to help me make the CD, by suggesting songs to put on. There are some criteria for song choice though: The song must be (relatively) accessible. Not necessarily mainstream, but something people can listen to without them thinking "WTF?" The song cannot have any explicit lyrics or mature themes. ie. it must be old woman and child-friendly. The song cannot be shit. Yeah its all subjective blah blah blah, but I won't accept Jason Derulo or similar. As per Universal Mixtape Law, no artist can be used twice. So, I'll take the first 10/11/12 songs (depending on length of songs chosen) posted. Each person can nominate 1 song. Think; what would you want to hear if you had arrived early for a film showing?

Ashley Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'd say stuff along the lines of: The Shins Death Cab for Cutie Two Door Cinema Club Phoenix Fleet Foxes Friendly Fires Hot Chip The xx Gorillaz Air Sebastian Tellier (you'd have to be careful about which song though) Rufus Wainwright The Cardigans etc. All easy going/somewhat upbeat without being 'club music'. The kind of things I hear at work (with some better suggestions :p) and I hear at cinemas. Not specified songs because I'm lazy/figure you can explore if you wish but if you really want I will.

Paj! Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'd just want to hear things that I'm stunned to even hear. The time I heard Crucify by She made me so happy. Just cause I knew there was a little EWF working at Ocean Terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 If you want family fun entertainment while the family waits for such movies as Toy Story 3 or Shrek. This song is sure to have the entire family singing along, even grandma Just skip to about 1:20 for the song to start. The weirdest part is that this is actually a real song. But seriously, I think some kind of pop-rocky stuff would be perfect. Like Muse, Coldplay, Snow Patrol and other music like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
