THE 405 MIXTAPE: NAMES
February 02, 2009,
Written by Tim Boddy
‘Say my name; say my name’, as the prophecy of Destiny's Child once foretold; For this is the basis of this weeks Mixtape from the 405. All of the tracks chosen consist of a name in the title - bar Join The Dots by Tim And Sam's Tim And The Sam Band With Tim and Sam, which I allowed due to the ridiculous amount of peoples names in their own name. Perhaps a tenuous link for choosing a Mixtape but a surprisingly tough one to finish given the plethora of name related songs. Here are some of my personal favourites. Some of the cannier of you may have noticed the inclusion of two ‘Tim’ tracks, doing myself no favours in attempting to disprove my egomaniacal nature.
Enjoy! And please add your suggestions...

Schadenfreude. I think you've pretty much covered it in the last paragraph: when we're down, we search for culture which empathises; when we're up, we search for culture which makes us see the value and worth of our current 'positive' situation. Not everyone though: some people detest dark comedy, cynical people and skeptical views. [view article]

Hey there :) Just wondered, did you take the pictures yourself? Its just im currently completing my Final Major Project for my publishing course and im making a music magazine. Having a massive problem with copywrite :/ If you did take the pictures would i be able to use the ones of pulled apart by horses? because they are the best ive found :P they really capture how mental they are. You would be a MASSIVE help. Id put your name on the pictures and if you want i can sent you the mag when its done so you can put it in a portfolio or summat? Would be a MASSIVE help :) If your interested could you email me on only-inhuman@hotmail.com Cheers :) [view article]
