“bring me my broadsword!” (or: the one in which nick/pulpaffliction reviews wowser’s mix and produces his own.)

Hello, my name is Nick, though some of you may know me as PulpAffliction. Nice to meet you!

On to the business at hand: our little game of telephone racism, one which I prefer to call Zatoichi’s 6. (Yes, Magnus, I like your original name.) After writing out a live blog of Wowser’s mix in the style that Mr. Alex has been using for the previous mixes, I realized I came off as a wordy, pretentious ass-hole. Suffice it to say, that’s not what I was aiming for. Instead, I’m doing my reviews as follows: I will use four words/terms, each separated by commas. The first will be a noun the song made me think of, second will be the color it made me think of, third will be a film it could be in and fourth will be a number indicating how I liked it compared to the other songs in Wowser’s mix (1 = best, 7 = worst.) For instance, if I were reviewing the song “The Magic Position” by Patrick Wolf this is what it would look like:

Circus, Yellow, “The Science of Sleep”, #

Got that? Without further ado, here goes:

————–

Track 1: Britain, White, “24 Hour Party People”, 3

Track 2: Ship, Blue-Green, “You, Me and Everyone We Know”, 4

Track 3: Gypsy, Bright Neon Exploding Yellow, “Everything is Illuminated”, 1

Track 4: WoW, Dark-Purple-Felt, “Braveheart”, 7

Track 5: John Cleese, Maroon, “Napoleon Dynamite”, 6 (Edit: I couldn’t tell if this was supposed to be comedy or not. I opted for the former. So. Yeah.)

Track 6: A Noise Band From the 70’s, Brown, Something directed by Chris Cunningham, 2

Track 7: Porn, Silver, “Anchorman”, 5

———–

So that’s that. Now off to my mix! But first; a short disclaimer: This isn’t exactly what I would have chosen, but I am on vacation right now, so I don’t have my music library. Instead I used what I could find on the internet, which means the songs veer more towards recent stuff.

More importantly, my songs are all DIRECT responses to the corresponding track on Wowser’s mix. Unfortunately I do not get extra credit for bringing it back down to six songs. There is no one to blame but Alex for the fact that it’s now seven songs. Ya hear that Alex? It’s your fault! So. Yeah.

Here it is: Enjoy!
