Hi-di-ho,
It's time for another Green Monkey mix - ROYGBIV. This one is going to be centered around colors. I had originally wanted to call the mix "Colours", but that would garner me crap from all you Americanskis. And "Colors" would of course offend everyone else.
Anywho, the rules:
1. 8 participants -- including me, so that's seven open slots.
2. Each person gets up to seven songs. If you have a problem coming up with seven, that's fine, but you have to provide at least five.
3. The song title of each of your selections has to contain a color.
4. You can't duplicate color names in your selections. If I pick a song with "red" and you pick a song with "red", that's fine, just don't pick two of your own songs that have the word "red" in it.
Sign up for the mix by leaving a comment.

Awesome concept. I'd love to participate, unless you want me to sit out because I was in the last one, which is cool.

Green Grass & High Tides Forever - Outlaws
Just some of my favorites.
Count me in. This is yet another way I motivate myself to post on my blog.
Hi Splotchy--I'm here thanks to the ever passionate Dale, who knows that I think your mixes are way cool. I'd like to participate, if there's still room.
Holly
Okay, here's my choices.
1. Little Red Book - Love
2. Orange Crate Art - Brian Wilson & Van Dyke Parks
3. Yellow Rainbow - The Move
4. The Village Green Preservation Society - The Kinks
5. Pools of Blue - Barclay James Harvest
6. Deep Purple - The Beach Boys
7. Violet - Hole
(I used "Deep Purple" as a stand-in for indigo, trying to get to ROY G BIV. If it's the same as purple, I can give you another song.)
sf, you sly devil you, with your ROYGBIV.
I wanna play!
R A Skull, A Suitcase and a Long RED Bottle of Wine, Robyn Hitchcock
O Orange Crush - R.E.M.
Y Yellow Submarine - The Beatles
G Furry Green Atom Bowl, Robyn Hitchcock
B Tangled up in Blue - Bob Dylan
& I'll think of something for Indigo and Violet! :)
OK, here are my songs:
Cocteau Twins--Pink Orange Red
Depeche Mode--Black Celebration
Spandau Ballet--Gold
Elvis Costello--Green Shirt
The Real Tuesday Weld--On Lavender Hill
The Real Tuesday Weld--Dorothy Parker Blue
Moody Blues--Nights in White Satin
I abandoned adherence to the ROYBGIV and tried to broaden the palette instead.
by the way, since you don't allow anonymous comments (and I'm not criticizing you for that--I understand why), I can't provide a link to my real blog as my name in the comment section; instead, you get a link to the pretend blog where my postings are desultory and weak. My real blog is
http://www.selfportraitas.com/
and my real blogging name is Holly.
Thanks for participating, Holly!
I was thinking about doing the ROYGBIV thing, but I think I will go into some more exotic colors as well.
After the mix is published (probably some time early next week), I generally ask participants to use their own blog to describe their choices.
At that point I can link to your post on your chosen blog.
Splotchy, I'm dumping Dylan for Cat Stevens' Bitter Blue. Still working on Indigo and Violet.
I'll play if there's room Splotchy. Hi Holly!
Welcome aboard, Dale!
Yay! Here are my colour choices:
1. Once in a Very Blue Moon - Mary Black
2. Beautiful Red Dress - Laurie Anderson
3. Crimson and Clover - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
4. Orangedale Whistle - The Rankin Family
5. The Song of Purple Summer - Lauren Pritchard (from Spring Awakening)
6. Green Island Lullaby - Vienna Teng
7. Pink Panther Theme - Pink Martini
Okay I've got Indigo and Violet (well, Purple - it's almost the same)
Galileo - The INDIGO Girls
PURPLE Haze - Jimi Hendrix
One very strange playlist indeed.
You saw the earlier change? Dylan's out. Cat's in.
