06.07.11 | This may sound really retarded but I can't get those randomly placed "r"s out of the description.
Either I'm doing something wrong or I'm just more of a sputnik noob than I thought.... Am I doing
something wrong or am I just getting trolled by Sputnik? |
ZilbelPing
06.07.11 | Those r's happen to alot of people but haven't happened to me.
Circa Survive-Blue Sky Noise (Choir kids love them and so do I)
Minus the Bear-Highly Refined Pirates/Planet of Ice
A Perfect Circle-Thirteenth Step
Arcade Fire-Funeral
Secret and Whisper-Teenage Fantasy
The Dismemberment Plan-Emergency and I
Amia Venera Landscape-The Long Procession (throw her off a little and see if she likes it)
Good call with Brand New. |
rokknroll4
06.07.11 | Yea you can't really go wrong with Brand New, I'll definitely consider some of the others though. I kinda lol'd at the Amia Venera Landscape suggestion though, its not a bad idea, but I think she would stop listening after the first minute of Empire. |
ZilbelPing
06.07.11 | Yeah it's meant as a joke haha
If you end up doing it though, just pick your favorite song and put it in the middle or something to throw her off. |
RooseveltsGhost
06.07.11 | I second both Minus the Bear and Circa Survive. Chicks dig that. |
RooseveltsGhost
06.07.11 | oooh! Motion City Soundtrack also!
|
Sowing
06.07.11 | if you like her be sure to slip in a few songs that show it. i've never had a girl ask me for music who wasn't into me |
ZilbelPing
06.07.11 | This ^ |
rokknroll4
06.07.11 | I suppose it would be a good time to mention that I've had a history with this girl and it didn't end up well, thats not to say that I wouldn't jump at the chance if she were to offer it again but for now shes just a friend. |
robertsona
06.07.11 | good music to give to girls who like bad music are phoenix and passion pit imo but you probably don't want her in the "indie" direction. but even though i'm not the hugest fan of either phoenix nor passion they work well as good gateway bands to better music
or something |
pmmets07
06.07.11 | there have been way too many lists about this |

Because let's be honest that's the goal of this CD here, you aren't making her a mix tape because you are concerned for the broadening of her musical horizon |
Sowing
06.07.11 | but of course go with things that represent you, that's always better than copying someone else's list |
wabbit
06.07.11 | ask sowingseason |

06.07.11 | Shit... |
DocSportello
06.07.11 | Words of wisdom: 75% of women are aurally un-roofie-able.
If your chick falls into the rare 25%, Brand New should do the trick. |
rokknroll4
06.07.11 | Yea I know I'm pretty much giving the things that people recommend me a listen to decide if I like
them first, I always love new music, but who here doesn't?
EDIT: @SowingSeason |
climactic
06.07.11 | cryptopys - death magnetic |
Pizza
06.07.11 | janelle monae |
Sowing
06.07.11 | also concerning brand new, even though TDAG is their best CD, girls seem to like Deja Entendu better...particularly "Sic Transit Gloria", "Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis" and "Play Crack the Sky"
ok im done now i swear |
EverythingEvil2113
06.07.11 | I still brag that my greatest feat was getting this ditzy girl in high school to like Thrice. We even still talk about them occasionally. |
climactic
06.07.11 | girls like yfw better, swear. my ex gf loved soco amaretto i cant even listen to it anymore |
rokknroll4
06.07.11 | @SowingSeason Today she told me that she loves "depressing" music (wierd thing to say but yea...), so
I played Play Crack the Sky for her and she loved it (naturally). So I knew I was making the right
choice with Brand New. |
DocSportello
06.07.11 | If I were a girl, I'd want you to put "Okay I Believe You..." on your mix CD. |
Sowing
06.07.11 | ^yeah that too |
tkxxx7
06.07.11 | hahahahahahahahahaha girls

DocSportello
06.07.11 | ^don't |
tkxxx7
06.07.11 | smith gets no girls. believe who you like |
DocSportello
06.07.11 | yeah, tkxxx7 is probably right. start with ticks and leeches and work from there. |
FearThyEvil
06.07.11 | Dead Letter Circus-This Is the Warning
Good alt-rock right there. |
rokknroll4
06.07.11 | ^ Checking this out now because the name caught my eye, but thanks for the overwhelming amount of suggestions, its gonna take me a while to get through this... |
Sowing
06.07.11 | "Deftones (probably Diamond Eyes, since it's so accessible)"
As much as this was intended to be ironic, I do think 'Sextape' could work. It's slow, atmospheric, depressing sounding. |
ZilbelPing
06.07.11 | If she likes depressing music, give her East Hastings by GY!BE.
who gives a shit if it's 17 minutes long. She'll probably dig it. |
outline
06.07.11 | Brand New's good. |
outline
06.07.11 | Also, girls love "California One" by the Decemberists. |
DocSportello
06.07.11 | Atlas Sound - "Walkabout"
Clive Tanaka y Su Orquestra - "Neu Chicago"
Fang Island - "Sideswiper"
Galaxie 500 - "Tugboat"
JJ - "DIE TONIGHT"
Phoenix - "Consolation Prizes"
Portishead - "It Could Be Sweet"
Spoon - "The Underdog"
The Weakerthans - "The Reasons"
Yeasayer - "One" |
Romulus
06.07.11 | honestly if i wanted to get with a girl who asked me for music i would definitely go in a different direction. like sacrificing quality and giving something they'll like is way more important than giving them something you love
|
tkxxx7
06.07.11 | well the point is to do both |
Romulus
06.07.11 | true but there's no way i'm winning her over by playing brand new and porcupine tree |
omnipanzer
06.07.11 | tl;dr gona
Just go ahead ad insult you now, according to this list you are 50/50. |
RavenRock
06.07.11 | Good choice with Brand New and Dear Hunter. |
Samshine
06.07.11 | Girls don't listen to good music, just give up. |
rokknroll4
06.07.11 | What are you talking about omnipanzer? Also how is this too long? A couple sentences as a description and then an 8 album list... |
rokknroll4
06.07.11 | Also I'm not necessarily trying to win her over (see 10th comment down). But really, I already played some Brand New for her and she liked it, and one of my friends just got his girlfriend super into Porcupine Tree, so I don't see any fault there. |
Alrightmax
06.07.11 | Loss! |
Yuli
06.08.11 | Girls adore Say Anything, at least the worthwhile ones! |
Satellite

06.09.11 | Satellite, you know it's true ;)
Girls really like fun. I kinda wish they didn't though, I don't care for them that much |
