PRINCE's Playlist (Only for the curious)

Terry

I'm so old, I can remember when these things were called MIX TAPES!

_________________

At one time or another, I think most of us have compiled Mix Tapes or Party Tracks.
I went through the above list and listened to Prince's Party mix.

I experimented years ago with making tapes with varying strategies.
The craziest one was the idea of a graduated tempo, which is to say, I began with slow music and track by track accelerated the pace.
It turned out to be a lousy idea.

DJ's are quite popular in clubs and what they do is keep the groove going.
A vast collection of tracks and a good memory and sense of continuity seem to be the most important talent.

What was your best mixed tape strategy?

Mixed tapes are what you give a friend for Xmas. A playlist is what a DJ or a band has for a gig, and always has been.

It's a great playlist for a party, and the last 3 songs are kinda interesting... quite the 'theme' going on. Note that at the end of the party .... The Thrill is Gone. lol!

Strategy for Mixed CD or tape: 2 fast and 1 slow, as musicians do, you mix it up so the audience doesn't get bored. xx

Thanks, Talesin.
My problem was that I was JW and a Nerd who never went to parties (except JW parties back in the day when such things existed.)
Even after leaving the Dubs, I never went to clubs or parties or bars.

Pop music didn't appeal to me.
Now that I am older, what Pop music represents to me is that "other" life I never led, or poetically: The Road Not Taken.

I can wax nostalgic when I listen to pop songs because they were everybody else's roadmap in their youth but I never formed emotional connections.

I listened to the entire Playlist, however. I downloaded every one of those files.
