Hear Factor, Season 2: The Sounds of Things to Come!

By Mr. Moderator on May 2, 2008

I know you're hungry for season 2 of Hear Factor, the interactive Rock Town Hall event in which Townspeople are asked to live in another Townsperson's ears, listening exclusively to a mix CD from a possibly challenging slice of another Townsperson's taste in music, and then reporting back their experiences to the Hall. If you weren't around for last season's Hear Factor and want to catch up on all the excitement, a fine summary of season 1/preview of season 2 can be found here. For a limited time, you can find links to downloads of the full mixes that Townspeople were subjected to in 2007.

I'm happy to report that submissions are rolling in, and I'm already getting some ideas of how I might redistribute these mixes so that they best challenge participants. As was the case last year, as I got to preview these mixes, there are some strong songs in all styles submitted. As a little preview of what may be coming the way of our participants, I've randomly selected a cut from each of the first 3 CDs I received and posted them here, without title or artist information, as our participants will receive their mixes!

Hear Factor, Season 2, Sample 1

Hear Factor, Season 2, Sample 2

Hear Factor, Season 2, Sample 3

If any of these are tracks you submitted, please don't reveal that. Our hope is that participants will listen to their mix CDs without knowledge of the compiler. They will be welcome to guess at each compiler in their reports back to the list. Fear. Enjoy. What have you!

Why am I starting to feel like I'm standing on a bridge over the Grand Canyon with a rubber band tied onto my foot?

Oh, man! I didn't know I was supposed to package up my CD in anonymous fashion! Shit! Mind you, I'm sure you'd know right away who I was subjecting you to.

This post has a pretty interesting mix of the mix CDs. I'm already living in fear.

For those of you who forgot/didn't know/understandably couldn't be bothered to strip away the identity of your songs, do not fear - do not feat that, anyhow: I'll strip it out and re-burn those CDs. Thanks.
