These Pong mixes are great. Tell me a little more about the rules...you're trying to stump one another meaning "I bet you can't guess who this is" or "I bet you can't follow this one up"...
Here's a request for a future mix: a mixtape for toddlers. Everything from the expected They Might be Giants and Dan Zanes stuff to the rare Bob Dylan or Stones or Toxic Avengers or whoever tracks that actually happen to work really well for kids...
Jesse - The idea of Dylan and I's "Ping Pong mixes" is that one of us starts and then the other has to follow up with a song that is somehow related/connected to the previous song. This can be as obvious or as obtuse as we like.
Sometimes it's a thematic link between the songs or the titles of the songs share a word(s) or a word that figured prominently in the previous song might be in the band's name of the following song.
It's intentionally a fairly loose rule system we've created, but that's part of the fun.
And yes, I would say that towards the end of the mixes there is a certain level of "I bet you can't top this"-ness that emerges.
