Title: On the Radio Mix, need help from smart forumers!
Post by: blinkboy on November 17, 2009, 01:08:33 pm
  Ok kids

  so i am making a CD and its called "On the Radio"  and its a trick sorta, so it has to be slick. see?

   every song needs to say "on the radio" in it somewhere, but i dont want it in the title. except "On the Radio" by regina spektor will be last (or first, i am not sure)

 heres what i have so far.

1. Counting Crows - Have You Seen Me Lately
2. Miley Cyrus - Party In The USA
3. Bowling for Soup - 1985
4. Starsailor - In The Crossfire
5. Tain - Hey, Soul Sister
6. Ben Lee - Catch My Disease


so thats 7 so far, i really want 14 at LEAST.

  it really doesnt matter what style of music, but i just dont want the person to be able to figure out the connection between the songs by looking at a tracklisting.

  cool? 

go!

Donna Summer's "on the radio" is so much better unless you making this for a chick.  And that's ghey.

We R in Need of a Musical Revolution - Esthero (lyric is I'm so sick and tired of the shit on the radio)
Shit on the Radio (clean version was ...On the Radio)- Nelly Furtado (maybe a bookend to Regina's song?)

I can't believe I'm going to even own up to knowing this (and especially considering my only motivation is to help out someone who has a Blink 182 reference in their username) but Signals Over The Air by Thursday.

Goddamn.

First of all, can no one who gets banned or storms off in a huff just stay gone?

Second, the only way you could've been more ridiculous was adding a blink-182 reference to your user name upon returning.

Agreed. Easily one of the best tracks of the year. Her recent, mind-boggling, attempts to distance herself from the song are really disappointing.

i cant agree about it being awesome. it drives me insane actually. but the cd recipient has always been known for saying "like, yeah"  so it was a perfect fit.

Reading this, I'm reminded of the scene in High Fidelity where Rob is making the comp tape for the reporter while Laura is moving back in:

Anyway,
            I worked hard at this one.

INT. ROB AND LAURA'S APARTMENT - DAY

Rob sits Indian-style on the floor in front of the stereo.
He has a pad of paper with scrawled titles and cross-outs,
and is surrounded by piles of CDs and records.

                         LAURA
            Who's that for?

Rob winces, turns.  He's busted.

ROB
            This?  Oh, just that woman who
            interviewed me for The Reader.
            Carol?  Caroline?  Something like
            that.

Laura turns and walks out of the room.
