This was really a lot of fun.

Listening to DJ Whispering Tyrant laying down the tracks was a excellent way to cap off an otherwise awesome day.

I wished I would have had the time and energy to submit my selections BEFORE Sunday morning.

Your lack of CD brings shame to the Paizocon mix challenge....oh s@*% I forgot mine as well.

Yeahh...I forgot mine too...*shakes fist*

Can we get a final track list from DJ Whispering Tyrant...who was most assuredly NOT whispering, but rockin' out at this gathering?

I do hope many moons from now, as other paizocons come and go, we will build up a pretty sweet library. Can you imagine as we get better at this and get deeper into our collections what we can pull out. Four paizocons from now will legend....................................................wait for it...........................................ary!

Well, that was all kinds of awesome.

I think everyone agreed that the best discovery was Wishmaster, a Finnish theatrical metal band with an operatic female singer presented by Paizo's star Finn.

The mix ended up 39 songs long, with some really cool stuff. I will post the final track list later this week.

Does that include my three?

(Next year I WILL have a CD. Promise.)

It was a blast!
Too tired to stay the whole time but it was really fun.

Thanks Erik and everyone.

It was a pretty cool deal and a good way to end a great evening. There were a lot of cool tracks brought in.

This was a fun event and a great way to wind down that evening. Thanks to everyone who brought stuff to share, but especially, thanks to Zuxius for letting me sample his delicious brew while listening to good tunes. I think that really tied it all together well.

Damn, that beer was tasty!

Erik,

You left my Corvus Corax track off the list. That's okay though, because I can't find a link to the track (well, except one that someone used for a WoW video without permission; the audio was deleted). So here's a good sample of Corvus Corax's general style:Saltarello

Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel (featuring Henry Rollins);just click on the player on the right of the screen.

Wouldn't you know it, can't find either doubleDrive song on the netz. Well, since this came about because of a discussion of cover songs, here's one by them: Mexican Radio. Apparently, someone customized it for Guitar Hero.

listed a bunch of great music ...

Cold War Kids: Saint John - this is a fan vid, best sound I could find on youTube all other versions are live and the sound sucks

Robert Earl Keen: Mr. Wolf & Mamabear - its a raccoon, dang it, a raccoon. Live performance.

Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley: All Night

gotta dig into the jazz next year. ;)

Jefferson Airplane: White Rabbit (sound starts 8 secs in)

After the sucess of this year, I have a feeling the 2010 PaizoCon Mix Challenge will have to be limited to one song.

Erik-

I noticed you didn't put any of the Opeth on the list--did you get a chance to listen to it yet?

EDIT--I really wish I could have come down to the Mix Challenge Party, but I was starting to run out of steam. Needed sleep!

I haven't listened to it yet, but will do so soon.

This is a live clip, but the audio is pretty good:
Sally By Gogol Bordello

Someone on YouTube made a video with this song using Cowboy Bebop. Ignore that weird intro thingy:
Thieves in the Night by Blackstar (Talib Kwelli and Mos Def)

Live recording of ReBirth playing this song in the Quarter:
Do Whatcha Wanna by ReBirth Brass Band

Looks like a legit video to me:
Wolf Like Me by TV on the Radio

A number of the tracks we listened to during the mix party brought to mind the novels of one of my favorite authors...Joe R. Lansdale...very much a East Texas horror and action writer.

I wish I could recall which particular tracks evoked his writing...but I can't.

Wow...

More Blues and Folk than I was expecting. I was expected harder stuff.

Not saying there is anything wrong with that. It just wasn't what I was expecting.

Next year, jazz will be in the mix. ;)

I will have to try harder on this next go-around on this unofficial event. I believe it was discussed that next time there would be only one song per person. Given poor Erik's drive home, that seems fair.

I may try to stay at the hotel at least the night of the mix party next year, so that won't be such an issue (I hope). That said, I think there will likely be more people, too, so I'm likely to reduce the number of songs per person to 2.

1 song is just not enough.

Erik Mona has come to party!

And I have just the recipe.

What a great first trip to the States... we even got Pathfinder Bonus Bestiary when visiting game shops in San Francisco during free rpg day! Links to "harder stuff":

Nightwish: Wishmaster and Elvenpath and Nemo

Amorphis: Sampo ok... it was too long...

Thanks to everybody we talked and played with during the weekend and paizo people for doing this. And thanks to Zuxius for great beer and special thanks to Sean from my girlfriend (you didn't make her first playing experience too weird being god and all that :)
