joshuatxuk Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I like Caribou a lot but this seems way more heavy on needless novelty value than anything else. Give me a well-thought over mix of 1-2 hours or something long but focused (i.e. a theme or something with accompanying notes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 i don't keep any music on my computer besides my own & ineed new stuff 4 dancing so this is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 also i think it's a real neat idea for someone to make a massive playlist of every piece of music that's had even a little impact on their lives, then just play the whole thing on shuffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I see this more as an opportunity to browse his record collection and discover new stuff with him making sure you go straight to what he considers worthwhile, not as a mix that's meant to be listened to from start to finish. You play one record and if it sounds like shit to you, skip to the next one. And recommend him some better records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I appreciate the the time he's spent in picking 1000 tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I love caribou and realize it's well-intentioned but who the fuck has the time for this? hehehe didn't autechre do virtually the same thing? multiple times? there's the Ae radio broadcasts, which I see as roughly the same ting. oh snap! agreed.

BobDobalina Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 1. Lol at Brian Fanboyo2. gotta disagree with you guys though, I see this and the autechre radio shows as two different beasts entirely. I've listened to all of the latter's mixes since quaristice (in fact my stream rip of the quaristice one might be the one here in the downloads), but none of broadcasts live; rather I'd get the rip and play it like a serial novel/audiobook later, in say 1/2 hour or hour segments, picking up where left off. TBH Ae put a shit ton of forethought into what they did (no shortage of truly brill mixing, blending, shifting of mood, etc.), included a mess of unreleased tracks/versions hidden here and there, and were more or less an exhibition of their badassedness. This OTOH is just a 1K playlist and has boz scaggs on it. boz. scaggs.Caribou has made some awesome mixes over the years, especially the ones that anchor the Tour CDs he put out from time to time. The 2005 and 2010 ones are defiantly worth checking outedit: redundant adverb removal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 perfect mix to shuffle through for a few days at work. thanks chen, thanks caribou! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Can't get this to play properly, if I go to YouTube to get the playlist with all 1000 tracks and 'Play all' it always stops after one track, never selecting the next one. I can switch manually by clicking on a video in the playlist (not by using the next button) but shuffle obviously doesn't work when I do it this way. Anyway I randomly clicked that Aphrodite's Child track and recognized it as both an Eccojam and the inspiration for The Verve's 'The Rolling People'. This just confirms my suspicion that I need a lot more Vangelis in my life, I'll be on the lookout for that album now. This is neat, thanks Caribou.

chenGOD Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 each artist I know and love from his list, he picks such weird tunes, that I even wonder if he know which songs are the good ones poser Caribou is hardly a poser - but regardless this is a story of his musical life. In his own words: As you can imagine, music has been a central love of my life since I was a teenager and over the years I’ve been introduced to a lot that has stayed with me. I’ve collected the majority of that music here – and I thought sharing it with you seemed like one way I could say thanks. I’m sure some things are under-represented or over-represented, but roughly speaking this is a musical history of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I encountered that Douglas Leedy one too (am about one third of the way through the playlist at the moment), the comments on that video are pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 The band was founded back in the 1960s by Mingiedi, a virtuoso of the likembé (a traditional instrument sometimes called "sanza" or "thumb piano", consisting of metal rods attached to a resonator). The band's line-up includes three electric likembés (bass, medium and treble), equipped with hand-made microphones built from magnets salvaged from old car parts, and plugged into amplifiers. There's also a rhythm section which uses traditional as well as makeshift percussion (pans, pots and car parts), three singers, three dancers and a sound system featuring these famous megaphones.
