Good Bebop Tunes? Anime Expo Trip! PLEASE HELP!

[ToshiMustgrind]

I'm leaving for Anime Expo on the 30th at 6am.
We are driving.

I'm cosplaying Spike Spiegel... and I just now figured it would be very fitting to make a mix CD of some Bebop jazz!

But alot, like Road to the West and The Real Folk Blues are a bit to... relaxing for me.

I like songs like Tank, Rush, and What Planet is This?.

Please, can anyone help suggest some upbeat Bebop tunes I can cruise to while drawing and playing some GBA SP on the 9+ hour trip?!

[seba_boi]

Strictly Cowboy Bebop?.... And upbeat?...

Aside from the goodness of Tank!, Rush, and What Planet Is This?:

instrumentals:
Too Good Too Bad [OST 1] (Definitely this one!!!)
Sax Quartet [Disc 1 of Collector's Box Set] (laid back but still lively)
Piano Black [OST 1] (memorably used in EP3: Honky-Tonk Women)
Digging My Potato [alternate take from disc 1 of Collector's Box Set] (laid back at first, but turns to one helluva nice and lively piece at the end... This is Wen's harmonica theme)
Odd Ones [Vitaminless OST]
Bindy [No Disc] (trippy Middle Eastern-influenced track... But the sax is really catchy!!!!)
Gateway [No Disc] (not as danceable as Odd Ones and Too Good Too Bad, but still upbeat and lively!!!)
N.Y. Rush (alternate version of Rush)

vocals:
Want It All Back [Blue OST]
LIVE in Baghdad [No Disc OST]
Time To Know~Be Waltz [from Future Blues] (instrumental with some rap=:thumbs up: )
Mushroom Hunting [Blue OST]
PAPA Plastic [Cowgirl Ed mini-disc] (cute ol' Ed rock song!)
Gotta Knock A Little Harder [Futre Blues OST] (This one's lively!)

Are you looking for mainly jazz?...
3Tops from [B]Ghost In The Shell: SAC and Nomad Soul from Macross Plus are also recommended Yoko Kanno jazz pieces...

[ToshiMustgrind]

Thank you so much!
I'm currently trying to get them... Unfortunatly this is hard ^_^;

[Animegrl/Parnaz]

Thanks for the input! :D
I appreacheate it...

But....
Ehhh...
Ask DNA's on "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and I REALLY didn't care for that...
I skip the intro vid and stop the movie during the credits.
Real Folk Blues is classis... and the ending theme... however it's a bit to slow for me... I like Bebop... I like Jazz Bop... Not the lounge stuff... or the stuff, like Folk Blues, that I can fall asleep to.

How does Gotta Knock A Little Harder sound?

Tank I have... the orignal and the Luke Vibert remix heard on the Music For Freelance OST.

I'll probebly see you at AX... But I dunno who you are XP
Look for the 6'5"+ tall Spike without green hair. (can't find anything that wont make my hair neon green...boo)

I like "Ask DNA" but that's not really danceable or bebop... "Gotta Knock A Little Harder" is rock but the background singers almost makes it somewhat different... May not be what you're asking for though... In fact, if I'm not mistaken, there are no upbeat vocal jazz pieces... I dunno if it even exists... Well, maybe they would scat instead of sing...

OH, and GITS:SAC and Macross Plus songs are hard to get by... I haven't even found mp3s online... I bought the OSTs and transferred them to mp3s...

Yea... Spike really doesnt have green hair... it's like a highlight or something...
I got a LOT of good reviews on my cosplay.
One person said I was there favorite Spike :)

I think the only upbeat piece with vocals is What Planet Is This?... however this piece really isn't a vocal piece anyways :P

[ToshiMustgrind]

That one is also one of my favorite bebop songs, it is called

"See You Space Cowboys Not Final Mix Mountain Root".

PS...nice Spike outfit.

[ToshiMustgrind]

Hey thanks!
So that whole thing's the title? Neat! Thank you very much!!
And ya... It's cool this topic's still around from when I made it last year heading to Expo.

And now I dont have to make a new topic when I'm searching for Bebop tunes!

[Nano]

let me get the cd

[Nano]

got it if you love all the bebop tunes then you got to have "rain" by the seatbelts
and "wo qui non coin" seatbelts again just such cool music and "call me call me"

[ToshiMustgrind]

Ohh actual Seatbelt music! :D
Somehow that's harder to find then the Bebop OSTs :(
But I'll check with our local anime importer... See if they can get us some Seatbelts instore :D
THey got a buncha J Pop and Rock music anyways....

[ToshiMustgrind]

Hey all!!

I have a question concerning the Limited Edition Cowboy Bebop OST Soundtrack.
I just bought this set for myself for my 22nd Birthday yesterday.

What are the 3 bonus songs on the end of Disc 4?
o_0 Two weird versions of Tank and... like... Andy's song with vocals or something.
I can't tell 'cus all the titles are in Japanese.

[kiyomi]

Oh my god, Toshi..those are great pics you sent me!

LOVE the outfit! :naughty:

[ToshiMustgrind]

Oh my god, Toshi..those are great pics you sent me!

LOVE the outfit! :naughty:

haha You are welcome ^_^
I'm aiming for the most perfect/accurate Spike Spiegel.
I love the show.
I am working on the green hair thing (as previously stated... it's not so much he's got green hair... it's like... lighting or a highlight) and hopefully a trench coat too.

I was also considering a wounded Spike cosplay XD

[kiyomi]

Well, whatever you decide to do, you have got to show me your pics okay?

I love Cowboy Bebop (as you can tell).

And why don't you have a Spike avatar if you like him so much?

Just wondering.

Have fun!

lol Oh but I do have one ;)
I guess maybe I'll change it.
I'm a big Yamcha fan also hehe.
I can change it now... Watch this!

BTW... do you know what those songs are called?

[kenshinbebop]

I know there was a bunch of Tank remixes..just not sjre which two are on that set...

Um, there is the Kung-Food remix, the techno Remix...any of those happen to help?

[kiyomi]

Nope, sorry hun. I'd have to look at my mp3 list and see what they are.

(really havent a clue, since the only songs I listen to from CB is from the TANK! CD.)

Not sure... I have only heard the Luke Vibert remix up until now.
The first one was Japanese Female vocals throughout the song... the other one I'm not sure :X and then the other song is ALMOST an instramental version of the Japanese Female Vocal verion except that it has Ein barking here and there

Nope, sorry hun. I'd have to look at my mp3 list and see what they are.

TANK! The Best and Future Blues are the next ones on my list I wanna get!

You like the avatar?

[kiyomi]

It's okay..kind of blury. Is it suppose to be like that? I do like the color of it though.

It's from this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v180/ToshiMustgrind/06_May04_BebopRyan.jpg
It was a final project for my Digital Color class at my college
Also it may look a 'lil blurry becasue I downsized it from 100x100 rather then working on an 80x80 canvas :(

[ToshiMustgrind]

For some reasson I'm thinking my 4 Disc Limited Edition Cowboy Bebop OST Soundtrack maybe a bootleg... :S
Anyone know any tell tail signs? It looks pretty authentic but there were a few things that are confusing me...
