Lots of great tunes here!

Even though I can’t wait for Halloween, I’d like to kick off Volume 7 of the Green Monkey Music Project.

We’re going to dial down the insanity from Volume 6 and only have five participants for this mix, so that’s four open slots for all you bloggers.

Tenacious S had expressed an interest in participating in a future mix. Ten S, the future is now. You can have a slot if you want it (claim it in the comments section of this post).

I mentioned this mix to Johnny Yen, who I believe is interested in participating this time around. That’s another slot eaten up.

I also tapped my buddy Tim to play along. That’s yet another slot if he is up to the challenge.

Assuming everyone I’m holding a spot for ends up participating, that still leaves one open slot for a lucky participant.

Okay, what are we doing in this mix volume?

This mix will be called Speed It Up.

The rules to this mix are tied to the speed of the songs. Each participant will provide from five to eight songs. Each song in your minimix has to be faster than the last. Your first song can be as slow as you want. Your fast song can be as fast as you want. I just ask that each song in your minimix is faster than its predecessor.

Just to be clear, the speed of your songs is not related to any of the other participants’ selections. Your mix is self-contained (Slowest song —> Fastest song).

Okay, let’s go!

UPDATE!

We have our participants!

Beckeye!
Johnny Yen!
Tim!
Tenacious S!
Splotchy!
Barbara!

Thanks to everyone for signing on!

From a recent comment, I see that Doctor Monkey Von Monkerstein might be having trouble getting his head around the concept of the latest Green Monkey Mix, Speed It Up.

Since he’s pretty intelligent for a monkey, I figure there might be others that are in the same boat as he.

So, here’s a visual aid to the theme behind the mix.

Like the nice man in the video says, “Faster! Faster! Play faster!”

I would like to point out that I do not wish this mix to result in anyone’s premature death.
