Musical Mix Help

   Discussion: Musical Mix Help
K-Lyn · 20 years, 5 months ago

I wouldn't normally take a forum for this but I'm running low on time. My friend (and fellow fruhead) is turning 30 in a week and there's a big par-tay. She just informed us that there is a blue theme (her favorite colour and it is at the Blue Room of the Capital Club in Seattle)� I thought I should make her a music mix with 'blue' songs.

As I've said before, Fruheads are the best reference in the world. What can you suggest?

Where can I find that Sarah Harmer cut?� And is it the same one Elvis (and countless others, I know) recorded?
Andrea Krause Back · 20 years, 5 months ago

It's on her "Songs For Clem" CD...not sure if that's still available or not. It's a great album of her singing classic old songs. She recorded it on a porch and it's got a great feel to it.

renita Back · 20 years, 5 months ago
you can only buy it at shows, too.

or ... maybe from her website as well, not sure.

anyway, yah--hard to find, she recorded it for her father, it's all songs he likes and then she decided to release it.
I can see the bunny Back · 20 years, 5 months ago
It should still be available through here

Blue - The Thorns

No Blue Sky - Also The Thorns

or the Jayhawks' version of "Blue," although if there is a live version out there somewhere of the Jayhawks AND the Thorns together doing it on tour... then... *sigh* that would rule.�

Joe Navratil Back · 20 years, 5 months ago
I should probably point out that .m4p files are from the store. .m4a files are just ones I converted to AAC myself :-)

($29,500 in iTunes purchases? A pittance, I say... now where'd I put my overpriced gold mini-iPod this time? Did I put it through the wash in my jeans *again*?)

best party mix ever if that's on it. :)
K-Lyn Back · 20 years, 5 months ago

Then that's what this shall be...Right now it's on the playlist right after Blue Guitar but before Bullet the Blue Sky.

You guys all rock and my music collection is sorely lacking.

I surrender my geek badge...really, I no longer qualify.

Gordondon son of Ethelred · 20 years, 5 months ago
I think using using songs with blues in the title is a cheat. You can make a 100 CD mix of songs like that. It is an entire genre.

lawrence Back · 20 years, 5 months ago
that's what "grep -v Blues" does.
Joe Navratil Back · 20 years, 5 months ago
grep -v is your friend. Almost as useful as grep -f :-)

I'd still have to say it's cheating to grep a catalog rather than come up with song titles out of the.. er, off the top of my head.

Speaking of which, allmusic.com offers several thousand artists' versions of songs with 'Blue' in the title, all of which are three-word or smaller titles (their search engine only returns the top fifty or so options)
Bruce Rose · 20 years, 5 months ago

I'll only list a couple, since I think the others have a pretty impressive list already.

Blue Monday - New Order

Blue Moon.� I know this is already on there, but since no one listed an artist, I'll list it as well.� The doo-wop version is by the Marcels.� Several others have their own versions.� The only other one that comes to mind is by Dave's True Story.

Andrea Krause Back · 20 years, 5 months ago
Heee I almost put Blue Monday on my list but didn't know if I'd be scorned for liking New Order. :)
Bruce Rose Back · 20 years, 5 months ago

Nothing wrong with liking New Order.� The two I left off for fear of scorn (I'll list them now... I can take it) were:

Electric Blue - Icehouse
Out Of The Blue - Debbie Gibson

Debbie's would be best in the 12" single version... extended dance mix and all.� Not that it would fit with the rest of the mix either way. :-)

ChrisChin is Getting Old Back · 20 years, 5 months ago
I think I have both of those songs on 45. *hides*
ChrisChin is Getting Old Back · 20 years, 5 months ago
yay New Order and props to Dave who also mentioned Erasure. Ah..80s new wave synth pop..those were the days.
dave "buh" Back · 20 years, 5 months ago
I'd have listed Blue Monday, except I'm not sure those words are even legible within the song. I figured if you're going to have a "blue theme" the songs should clearly have 'blue' in the lyrics no?
Adam Hartfield · 20 years, 5 months ago

Blue - LeAnn Rimes
Lovesick Blues, Blue Moon of Kentucky - Patsy Cline
Blue Room - The Nields
Blue, Blue Day - Dean Martin
Dinah Washington - Salty Papa Blues
Born To Be Blue - Ella Fitzgerald
Blue Tango - Enoch Light
In The Blue Light - Jane Siberry
Jackie Blue - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

Zach · 20 years, 5 months ago
You could just play Rhapsody in Blue or Miles Davis' Kind of Blue in its entirety. :-)
