Today on solipsistic NATION I have got a sweet Exquisite Corpse mix for your ears!
This is actually the third Exquisite Corpse mix on solipsistic NATION but even so, I feel I need to tell you what an Exquisite Corpse mix is. You actually might have played a version of Exquisite Corpse as a child.
Here’s how it works: someone hands you a piece of paper and you have to draw the head of some person or creature, real or imagined. Let’s say you draw the head of an ostrich. You then hand the paper to the next person but the ostrich head would be covered so they couldn’t see what you had just drawn. That person would then draw a torso and they decide to draw the buxom figure of Marilyn Monroe. They then pass the sheet of paper to the next person but covering up what they had just drawn as well as the head of the ostrich. The next person decides to draw the legs of a gorilla. Yeah, let’s go with that. The legs of a gorilla. Once the drawing is done everyone gets to see the complete picture and have a good laugh. The Exquisite Corpse mix goes something like that.
For today’s show I have chosen a song to kick of the Exquisite Corpse mix and then sent it to a podcaster. And not just any podcaster but a podcaster who, like myself, plays electronic music.
Once they have the song they have to choose a song that would segue nicely after the track I have selected or go off into an entirely different direction.
The song they have selected is sent off to the next podcaster and so forth and so on until the Exquisite Corpse mix is complete. Each podcaster only hears the most recently selected song and must base their selection solely on the song they have just heard.
In fact, the mix you’ll hear today will be just as much as a surprise for them as it is for you.
At the end of today’s show we’ll hear from each podcasters and find out who they are, what song they chose for the mix and why. Enjoy!
Oh, if you dig today’s Exquisite Corpse mix then you’ll definitely want to listen to the first and second Exquisite Corpse mix.
