Shimmering Wang Still A Dork, Needs Mixtape Suggestions

geez wang, just get right to the point. Jimmy Buffett's "Let's get drunk and screw."

He is god awful.Don't stick to one genre. I could totally see Beck and Broken Social Scene on the same CD if you transition it correctly.JeffStrat

I like ArtBrut. I think they're great. Your use of "he" makes me wonder if we're talking about the same band.And I don't plan on sticking to a single genre, as that would not give me ample opportunity to show off my supremely well-rounded musical tastes.

Leave the radio off...seriously.--------Hi, I'm a girl, Wang is picking me up in his car. We had some great conversation on the way to (dinner/movie/strip club) but I couldn't get over the fact that this homo listens to Maroon 5 and Meatloaf. What a toolbox. I'm going to get some pictures taken with my dog.

Subtle background music isn't too bad. It's atmospheric, and can enhance or even generate conversation. I think. Wang

Depeche Mode-Sweetest Perfectionwait, how old is she? Is she a club girl? College girl, former stripper/sex worker? Coke head? Pot head? Jesus man, I can't work blind like thisWell done Hank on the ref.

She's 26, I think. I picked her up in a bar, but she has a steady job, and a college degree. This is pretty much all I have to go on. She strikes me as reasonably refined, but, then again, I did pick her up in a hooded sweatshirt and a full beard at a bar in Detroit while she was throwing back 24oz. TallBoys, so...I like the Depeche Mode suggestion. I think a good date CD should always have a little Depeche Mode on it.Wang

Maybe we are talking about a different group. the Art Brut I know (space included) is commonly on XMU, just seems to be a british guy rapping about inane crap.

I mean don't just walk in. You move across the room. And you don't talk to her. You use your face. You use your body. You use everything. That's what I do. I mean I just send out this vibe and I have personally found that women do respond. I mean, something happens. The attitude dictates that you don't care whether she comes, stays, lays, or prays. I mean whatever happens, your toes are still tappin'. Now when you got that, then you have the attitude. First of all Hang, you never let on how much you like a girl. "Oh, Debbie. Hi." Two, you always call the shots. "Kiss me. You won't regret it." Now three, act like wherever you are, that's the place to be. "Isn't this great?" Four, when ordering food, you find out what she wants, then order for the both of you. It's a classy move. "Now, the lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice." And five, now this is the most important, Hang. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV.

now this is smooth, hat's off to you.OP, just put on what you want to listen to. If she likes it then that's better than you having to pretend that you like it just because she likes so that you can get into her pants ... nevermind this nonsense, sometimes honesty is not the best policy.pink floyd - comfortably numb

i'd go with safe but hip stuff. like quiter songs off the bends, postal service, maybe some sigur ros, rufus wainwright... stuff like that. but nothing depressing or crappy.

see, i advised against playing songs that are depressing or crappy. this would fall into the latter category.

She has a beard? Oh wait, you. Nevermind. Moving along26, born in 1980...hmmmm, formidible years 92-02 Play some boy band stuff. Early NSYNC. I'll send you some of my stuff. Backstreets back, alright.Probably some Dave Matthews, unless she has decent taste, and if she's going on a date with you, we know she doesn't.

now this is smooth, hat's off to you.

I have an idea: shut the fuck up.This is as much thought-exercise as it is honest plea for help. Besides, there's nothing that makes a girl want to take her panties off faster than a pretentious, smug indie-rocker who can make Art Brut references.Wang

Why isn't this the truth? I can make Clap Your Hands Say Yeah references all day, and I can't get laid to save my life.I would suggest perhaps a little Ben Lee ("No Right Angles" or "We're All In This Together" might be good), perhaps "Trouble" by Ray Lamontagne, "Together" by The Raconteurs, "Always Love" by Nada Surf (might be pushing it for a first date, though I like to think of it as loving humanity, not romantic love between two people)...I think this may be helpful, but I may also be going the complete wrong direction.

Bwahaha..

Wait, she's a club girl????WHAT IS LOVE? BABY DON'T HURT ME....DON'T HURT ME...NO MORE....

I did a quick google search for date songs and I think I found a good one for you. It starts off, "We were out on a date in my daddy's car..."I think it strikes the proper balance of reminding her that you're on a date while also reminding her of a more innocent time in high school when you had to borrow your father's car to go out for ice cream and roller skating.I didn't finish reading the song, but I'm sure the rest is fine.

we were on a date in my daddy's carwe hadn't driven very farup on the road, straight aheada car was stalled, the engine was deaddamn, i thought i knew the whole thing. anyways, it ends up with the girl dying, so probably bad stuff.although, if you play her the Frank J Williams and the Cavaliers version instead of Pearl Jam or whoever just did it, and she can name the original band, then she's marriage material.

i'd go with safe but hip stuff. like quiter songs off the bends, postal service, maybe some sigur ros, rufus wainwright... stuff like that. but nothing depressing or crappy.

this is clearly the right answer. i'd play some semi-indie ****** bands, so if she likes them, you'll know where she stands.

Couldn't even begin to design a CD around a girl I know nothing about, but you can't go wrong with a little bit Kelly Clarkson, a little bit Dropkick Murphys. Let the songs fall into the middle of that spectrum and you'll have an instant classic on your hands. Upbeat, but not invasive. You want background music, not something that will overwhelm any possible conversation. I see you reaching for Skynyrd and Metallica, that's a bad choice. Put them back. I'd leave the Maroon 5 out, personally, but Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin are perfect for mix CD's. Hurricane by SC and Bruised by JM would be good selections.

I was coming home from a first date one night and we had about an hour long drive ahead of us. We were listening to the radio and talking and she asked what kind of music I liked. I had a CD changer in the car and I had already prepared a nice variety of music because I didn't know what she liked. Pop, R&B, country, rock. One of the CD's in there was Metallica, mostly because that's what I was listening to at the time. Well, apparently she's a big Metallica fan and that's what she wanted to listen to, so I played that. It was the Ride the Lightning album.Right after I change it to that CD she gets a call on her cell phone. Normally a bad sign, but she had told me her friend was going through some rough times and she almost cancelled on me because of that, so possibly an even worse sign. There was a lot of hushed, serious discussion going on and it doesn't sound good at all. She gets off the phone and tells me her friend is talking about killing herself.I turned off "Fade to Black." Then we sat in uncomfortable silence for what seemed like seven hours, but was probably closer to ten or fifteen minutes.Finally she spoke up, "Can we turn the radio bac-" and before she could finish I had the radio on. We didn't say much the rest of the night; I was not invited in.Conclusion: Metallica will not help you score with the ladies.

Please tell me you saw the Gwar references in the SickThread earlier.....Wang

I'll say it again. Pantera "The Great Southern Trendkill" or Slayer "Reign in blood"

Ironic. Being that the first is so obvious I don't even need to comment and I'm listening to the second right now.This was just a ploy wasn't it. All you had to do was ask. Of course I'll go out with you.

She gets off the phone and tells me her friend is talking about killing herself.I turned off "Fade to Black."

I think I love you.

my buddy and I were stuck in traffic for a long while listening to the Korn album ( I think) and the exact moment we drove past the crash site, "dead bodies everywhere" was playingwe laughed

I prefer Houses of the Holy, myself. I like the Dave Matthews suggestions too. Counting Crows, maybe? Jack Johnson, too.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

I like around 3 of their songs. It was his album. This was back when Anquan Boldin was in High School, I guess 7-8 years ago. We were coming back from watching one of his gamesMy buddy was his math teacher

Meh, I liked a couple of their songs. The song with the bullet running through the video is pretty cool I guess.
