MIXMASTER: Manuel
THEME: Poetry With Song Titles
The lyrics of each track will tell a cohesive, chronological story.
That's right, I want to be able to read down the lyrics from the first track to the last one and I want it to tell me a story.
* We will each submit one song to start us off and begin a story or a poem. We may each have a different starting point, so to make it more fun, I am going to select one of the three at random (names on a piece of paper, etc). That will be the first line in our story/poem.
* Depending on who starts out by winning the 'first song sweepstakes', we will then follow an alphabetical order.
* When it's your turn to pick the next line of the story, you will submit two options each time and the next person will pick which one of those songs makes the mix. Almost like a 'pick your own adventure book' from the 80s.
* Equal time is important (or as close as possible), so I will keep a tally and will be enforcing time restrictions based on how it's rolling along and will be alerting those via the mixtape thread. With that in mind, do not eat the mix with anything over 6 minutes.
I don't want it to get too abstract, even for a poem, so anything that gets too non-nonsensical as mixmaster, I get the power to veto it and make you re-select new songs with titles that better fit a narrative unless you can clearly explain what is being meant with the title.
Those are the only rules. There is no debating the order or the mix, the song title tell a story in poetry form. It's up to you what the mood of the songs based on what you offer and what you pick from the next person.
