Weekly Mix Tape Pt 10

This is the weekly mix and it's a weird one. There are some good songs off bad albums such as "Warped", "Ty Cobb" and Undercover of the Night". The Mix has classic rock from AC/DC, The Who and Cheap Trick and some Manchester punch from Oasis and the Stone Roses. The songs you don't know on here are G.L.O.B. and maybe U2's Mofo but the latter is U2 so it's more well known than it has any right to. I don't know what the mix is about but The Rolling Stones to the Stone Roses to Oasis row meant something I think.
enjoy!


1. Warped by Red Hot Chili Peppers
The rest of One Hot Minute was garbage but this some good shit.
2. Ty Cobb by Soundgarden
This is a strange song. It is great to listen to at the gym however or when you're beating up somebody.
3. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by AC/DC
I love me early some AC/DC. Bon Scott AC is just a little more filth covered, a little more illicit sounding. HIGH VOLTAGE!
4. Undercover of the Night by The Rolling Stones
Possible a horrible 80s Rolling Stones song but I really enjoy it. To me it's the lost good one.
5. Begging You by The Stone Roses
From the much maligned, Second Coming this was one of the stand outs of the album.
6. Supersonic by Oasis
I didn't get into their first album until I really got into their second. Supersonic is plodding but it's so good.
7. New by No Doubt
No Doubt were trying to separate themselves from the ska that made them rich and it resulted in some good little pop, rock songs. I don't recall anybody really being into them until they put out, Rock Steady a couple years later.
8. The Needle And The Damage Done by Neil Young
Stay off heroin kids
9. Magic bus by The Who
but weed and LSD are fine. When I was a kid I thought this was a kids song, i thought it was funny but then I aged and I realized what drugs were.
10.Cursed Female by Porno For Pyros
 I can never decide how I feel about this Perry Ferrel band. Were they good or just sort of okay? I like this one as it's sort of hypnotic and the subject matter is weird. A woman who dress like a man to have sex with men, is that right?
11.Paranoid by Black Sabbath
You will rock and you will bow to sabbath!
12. Peace Dog by The Cult
More rock off the American rock inspired, Electric.
13. Hard To Handle by The Black Crows
Great job covering Otis Redding.
14.I get Around by The Beach Boys
Something was changing with these guys, maybe it was drugs, maybe it was mental instability by Bryan Wilson.
15.Electric Barbarella by Duran Duran
I am a big fan of this mediocre era of Duran Duran. It's very slick and catchy.
16.MOFO by U2
U2 went disco, it was supposed to be clever but clever doesn't sell records. I think they knew they were in a shitty age of music and were trying to do something about it.
17. Super Nova by Liz Phair
I like to pretend she sang this song to me
18.G.L.O.B. by The 360's
One of my favorite Boston bands. The 360's rocked real awesome like but could never make it to the national stage.
19. Call Me by Blondie
A song about a gigolo. This was the theme to, American Gigolo. It's a rocker regardless what it's origin.  
20 I Want You To Want Me by Cheap Trick
At some point in one's classic rock education this song becomes important as you realize the power of the concert. Live at the Budokan!
