Mixtapes & Oldschool Vinyl.
"To me, making a tape is like writing a letter — there's a lot of erasing and rethinking and starting again. A good compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do. You've got to kick off with a corker, to hold the attention (I started with "Got to Get You Off My Mind", but then realized that she might not get any further than track one, side one if I delivered what she wanted straightaway, so I buried it in the middle of side two), and then you've got to up it a notch, or cool it a notch, and you can't have white music and black music together, unless the white music sounds like black music, and you can't have two tracks by the same artist side by side, unless you've done the whole thing in pairs and...oh, there are loads of rules."
- Nick Hornby (High Fidelity).
In here I will post mixtapes that I've made & that are submitted to the account. I'll try and update with at least two a week. Try to let your mixtape have a theme run through it. Try to keep to roughly 14 songs. Give it a title. Give it a cover. Maybe give a little summary as to why you made it and what it means to you.
Please use Rapidshare, Megaupload or Mediafire.

Uuuh, HI. Long time no see. Sorry for not making any mixtapes (none were submitted either *cough**cough*), but I have been keeping my song of the day tumblr (Noise Don’t Stop) up to date.
ANYWAY, here is my first mixtape in forever, decided to do something a bit different for me and choose slightly punkier stuff whilst staying away from pop punk. I did my best anyway. It’s all mega high energy songs that make you wanna bounce.
1. One Way or Another by Blondie
2. Hash Pipe by Weezer
3. Back to the Fuck Yeah by Pulled Apart by Horses
4. In the Belly of a Shark by Gallows
5. I Wanna Get a Mohawk (But Mom Won’t Let Me Get One) by AFI
6. Party Hard by Andrew W.K.
7. Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) by My Chemical Romance
8. What Happened? by H2O
9. Pain by Jimmy Eat World
10. Mackerel Jackson by Hold Your Horse Is
11. Feeling This by Blink 182
12. Don’t Ever Tell Locke What He Can’t Do by Moneen[Download]

Technically these are two different mixtapes, but they go hand in hand (like an A-Side/B-Side). I think the title gives the themes away so I shall say no more :)

This mix was born from the first two songs sounding so great (imo) next to one another, it was a bit harder to find the songs to flesh out the rest of this but I managed it. I made it from mostly unknown artists, but hopefully there’s a couple you should/will recognise. It’s a mix of pop punk, post hardcore, indie pop and other bits and pieces. So ENJOY and I hope you find something new that you like.

Discovery is a way for the label to showcase some of my favourite bands and songs from the past year, with the main theme taken from the “Discover New Music Today” tag line that I’ve used for Walnut Tree Records since the label started.
On this compilation you will find some of our own bands mixed with our friends and then those who have put themselves forward. Hopefully there is something for everyone!
GoLRG are some of the most creative guys I’ve worked with and you only have to look at the packaging for Tiger Please’ two releases to see this. They’re pushing the boundaries in visual creation and this is only just the beginning of what they can do. I jumped at the chance to work on this release with them and I hope you discover some of your new favourite bands here.
Note: This wasn’t submitted this is something that I’ve found and it just needs to have the word spread as far as possible

2. Winter and the Storyteller by Tiger Please
3. Bonus by Cuba Cuba
4. The Greatest Fire by Burn the Fleet

submitted by jayarell18 years of anxiously anticipating summer have gone by faster than any words of mine can describe. this summer is strangely different… it’s the last one. being completely finished with school is hitting a lot harder than i originally imagined it would and it’s pretty easy to feel lost. but just when things appear to be getting too heavy, i’m reminded that i have everything i need.
