Number 30! It's pretty main stream and if you listen to music from Jamaica then it's all mainstream. This mix is damn good and if you don't like it well you can go read somebody else's blog about mixes, somebody who knows how to get song samples or the whole song to play when you click on it, a blog with more pictures, a blog that thrills! One thing keeps bugging me though as I look over these tunes, is the song order the best it could be? If you think no, suggest something better, please.
Click on song titles for videos
enjoy!
1. Ballroom Blitz by Sweet
This song is manic glam!
2. Finding Out True Love Is Blind by Louis The XIV
This one is modern glam, I always thought the video should have been a dude pushing a mail cart through an office with all the girls he talks about the other workers. The chorus is sung by the other dudes in the shitty, confining mail room. During the bridge our mail boy will go into fantasy.
3. Are You Gonna' be My Girl by Jet
This song stinks; it's Lust For Life rip off
4. Here She Comes Now by Nirvana
This is a demo and still sounds pretty damn awesome!
5. I'm Still In Love With You by Sean Paul feat. Sasha
Why do I love this song?
6. Stepping Razor by Peter Tosh
Fierce song about being a bad ass. From the film, Rockers which was the other Raggae movie that wasn't The Harder They Come.
7. How I Could Just Kill A Man by Rage Against The Machine
Great cover of Cypress Hill, maybe better than the original.
8. Kids In America by Kim Wilde
This song is so synthtacular the 80s couldn't let it go. In the video Kim was apparently so nervous she looked like she was trying to be seductive. (I read that someplace)
9. Get Ur Freak On by Missy Elliott
Changing the way we talk about sex and a really weird sounding rap song when you get down to it. Very innovative. I believe the video was directed by Hype
10.Still OF The Night by Whitesnake
80s Heavy Metal was rarely more epic; if you don't like this song it's only because you can't handle it.
11.Boyz-N-The-Hood by Dynamite Hack
One of the best covers ever? No, just one of the funniest. The video is perfect.
12.P.I.M.P. by 50 Cent
Steel drums in rap might not be popular but damn does it works here. Not that 50 Cent cares what I say about him but I think this is best track.
13.Mr. Brightside by The Killers
Eric Roberts has seen better days and that unfortunately is what everybody thinks of when this song plays. It was also a sign that band's name, The Killers was a misnomer . . . or ironic . . . or just dumb.
14.I Believe In You by Kylie Minogue
More disco magic from the future. If Kylie Minogue believes in you things can't be all bad.
15.Hysteria by Muse
I swear the guitars in the beginning of this song make me think it's all about to explode and then the drums come in and take care of that.
16.Hey Ya! by Outkast
Was this the best song of year? It has hand claps, sexy/dirty lyrics and a beat that a friend insists is hooked into girl's heads.
17.Touch Me I'm Sick by Mudhoney
Named after A Russ Meyer movie, this was Seattle in 1988, this was grunge before it got labeled as such, this is the genesis of Citizen Dick.
18.Isrealites by Desmond Dekker
I first heard this song in the movie, Drugstore Cowboy so it's what I think about when this song plays . . . wow, two Matt Dillon references in a row, WTF!
19.Jealous Guy by Roxy Music
For about two months in 2004 I listened to this song everyday, don't know why
20.Beautiful Girls by Van Halen
Nothing says summer like van Halen from the 70s!

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 29
I think Imade this mix in 2004 and I think it's pretty good though the reggae part of the mix isn't really reggae and the synth portions were all inspired by Grand Theft Auto: Miami
1. United States Of Whatever by Liam Lynch
One of the most stupid and awesome songs ever; it is a joke but at the same time encapsulates what American punk is all about.
2.Harder To Breathe by Maroon 5
Did I ever like this song? Not so sure but I do know that the band says they didn't want to put this song on their album; it apparently wasn't wussy enough.
3. Who Do you Love by George Thorogood & The Delaware Destroyers
Lonesome George took Bo Diddley's signature song and made his own, you can hear it in Sam Adams beer commercials if you're not familiar with the tune.
4. Songbird by Oasis
Post What's The Story Morning Glory isn't all bad.
5. Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones
Whatever
6. Ramones by Motörhead
Lemmy must've really liked the Ramones to cover their theme song
7. California by Wax
A song about Los Angeles sucking: "smog isn't blue, someone should have warned you". This song's video also contributed to one of the Greatest Beavis and Butthead moments of all time
8. Take My Breath Away by Berlin
I don't care; it's a delightfully sweeping good example of 80s synth rock. Though I'd rather think about it's use in the scene from Ocean's 11 than Tom Cruise total gaysploitation film, Top Gun.
9. Time Is Running Out by Muse
Ladies and gentlemen, Muse, 1 part Queen and 1 part Radiohead. I didn't really listen to this song or get it until I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on an L.A. freeway.
10.Sunglasses At Night by Corey Hart
Don't mess with the man in Shades, oh no! Corey had bigger hits but his first is still the best.
11.Somebody Told Me by The Killers
I have no idea what this song is about and that's probably why I liked it.
12.Stay Up Late by Talking Heads
It's strange that really don't care for the Talking Heads and yet I like some of their songs
13.Gimme Some More by Busta Rhymes
Anything Bbusta wants, Busta gets.
14.Lapdance by N.E.R.D.
It is agreed that Hookers and Politicians sound the same to me as well
15.Two Tribes by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Gayest band in history? You be the judge
16.Smoke Two Joints by Sublime
Nobody was really shocked that Bradley Nowell OD'd on drugs were they? I suppose if you smoke to joints before you smoke two joints and then you smoke two more you're not going to make too many good life decisions.
17.Underneath It All by No Doubt
Underneath it all this song makes me mushy, maybe it's the Jamaican dance hall break.
18.Get Busy by Sean Paul
Jamaican, Jewish, former water polo player makes it big State side with incomprehensible dance hall big beats.
19.Naughty Girl by Beyoncé
Christian girl from Houston gets freaky
20. Jerk It Out by Caesars
So Sincere in their championing of former Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders' Mia Culpe
21.Why Don't You Find out For Yourself by Morrissey
Crooning his way through a tale about exploitation from his record company?
22.Shattered by Rock City Morgue
A Song about New York City sucking, "Go ahead, take a bight of the Big Apple, don't mind the maggots"
23. Radar Love by Golden Earring
I like to end mixes with big classic rock songs, the fact that their Dutch has nothing to with anything

You're Not The Boss Of Me
Steven Slater, American hero! . . . well sort of. Fulfilling the real American dream of the “take this job and shove it” experience. So Slater having enough from airline passengers behaving like they’re desire more important than the safety and a state of order decides to tell off the passenger over the plane’s P.A. system, grab a beer and use the emergency exit slide to get the hell out of Dodge and back home. Seems simple and it is but in a larger scheme of things where personal F.U.s can amount to a societal epiphany it’s more complex. In many ways it’s an employee who frustrated with the economy and the tension that it’s caused all over but it is to me, somebody who has spent numerous years working in different aspects of the service industry clear response to the modern guest, shopper or whatever.
The idea that the costumer is always right is still one cherished by companies all over even if it’s just a practice in bribing somebody to shut up. It’s been proven time and time again that a displeased person will tell other people of their negative experience more often than they will talk about a great one and because of that companies spend a lot of time trying make up for what may seem like a wrong doing. This has become so common that there are people now who intentionally find things to complain about, wasting an enormous amount of energy to get an upgrade at a hotel or a free meal, to them it is a game where the reward outweighs the risk of being a jackass. These are the same people that will try to walk out without paying if they aren’t given what they want and then write a nasty letter to the corporate office or owner about injustices done to them during their experience. Generally the guest will be compensated with a free night’s stay, ticket to anywhere in the country or a complimentary meal; this to me unacceptable behavior. I’ve even dealt with guests that ask for money . . . cash! The idea of everybody acting on good behavior and if there really is an important issue you discreetly bring it to the proper person’s attention has been thrown out the window as well as the squeaky wheel theory where if you’re a whiner you will get more attention. I’ve seen with my own eyes people going beyond that and just disregarding everything and everyone around them to get what they want, shoving people in line out of the way, using cell phones while the plane is trying to take off. There is a sense of entitlement that goes along with people’s impatience; it is a toxic combination. I understand that when we pay for something we have expectations but somehow expectations have become ignorant or reality. Unless I’m wrong and money really does buy everything no matter what and if that’s the case most misbehaving passengers, diners, shoppers and guests aren’t paying enough. When I worked at the front desk of a 4 star hotel a while back we had some dirt cheap rates available on line to increase our occupancy and to keep the employees busy and working. This rate became known as the riffraff rate to the front desk staff as the guests who took advantage of this rate were ridiculously high maintenance with expectations that revealed a lot about who these people’s life experience. So while these individuals complained about there not being free breakfast buffet our guests who were paying more than twice as much for the same product were all delighted that we had a complimentary wine and cheese hour available. While the former group were adamant that they had reserved bigger room the latter group regarded everything charming, cozy. Maybe the guests who paid less felt like they were being unfairly financially discriminated against, they felt that they were getting a good deal that would propel them to higher status when they were getting equal treatment as other paying clients. The abuse that these folks dealt out to the front desk staff was completely uncalled for and you would think embarrassing to the guest but like I said before there are people that don’t mind expending the energy and time; it doesn’t mean anything to them, it’s a game.
The result of such misbehaving however should be available to other hospitality providing companies. We have web sights devoted to rating companies, ranting, raving and trashing them, right? Why is there not a database full of bad guests that a Cruise line or airline can access to see who is unfit to be a part of their program? A friend of mine once demanded that people should have to take a test to fly and until you passed you would be labeled “unfit to fly”. I would like to see this, I would like to see bitches and asshole be pit into the public eye and known for their deeds.
It should be said that there are indeed testy service industry employees who can genuinely make an experience uncomfortable or horrible and these folks are more than likely burnt out on their career choice as it obviously one where the daily grind can really bring you down. The rewards are the occasional, “thank you”, cash tips and hard to obtain employee deals with your company.
I will be honest, a kind person who can strike up a good rapport with the immediate decision makers (desk workers) and aren’t afraid to let it be known their tight with Action Jackson will be welcomed and given special service by those who can. A good suggestion when going to a hotel for a lengthy stay is to tip very well on the first day or two of your stay and you will be treated like the V.I.P.
Just a note, when I say rapport I don’t mean calling people “bro” or behaving like you’re “on their level” for that’s not what a bellman or flight attendant wants. All they want is the respect that are willing to give you for being a respectable person.

Album Review: Brandon Carroll
Brandon Carroll’s first release an eponymous 4 song E.P. is of the classic singer/songwriter vein laying someplace the noodling, nasal James Taylor and Elliot Smith who couldn’t handle the unbearable lightness of being and slow record sales. Like most music in the genre there’s not much more going on in the music than the pretty melancholy of guitar and straight forward, sweet sounding vocals.
The first track, Don’t Bring me Down, is the strongest track on the album and while the lyrics appear to be a frustrated fretting the vocals tenderness goes contrary; Mr. Carroll doesn’t seem to care about emoting his sentiments.
The Second track picks up a bit in tempo causing some foot tapping as Brandon scratch strums along like an old railroad train and sings with some nice Paul Simon, Elliot Smith harmonizing. I Just Can’t get Over You is catchy and may seem like a lost love song but then comes out as a tune about longing to get drunk and get freaky in an ex’s thighs. This may work for AC/DC but in the sensitive world of modern folk it contradicts it’s self.
A Million Miles slows the tempo down again and takes the E.P to it’s most introspective and complicated as Brandon Carroll faces romantic indecision where he is struck the dilemma of what he wants and what he’s capable of. He has to make the choice of going through the motions or being fair to the woman in his life.
Continuing with the classic rock, 1970s sounding titles, Sun In The Sky in some ways picks up where the previous song left off but her Brandon Carroll lays it down as tenderly and somberly as one can that he, like a twister he was born to walk alone and the bitch needs to get out of his face. Making a girl feel better about being dumped isn’t easy but a song like this can certainly put a sentimental band aid on the wound.
Brandon succeeds in making an acoustic piece without sinking to Jack Johnson, fraternity, Campfire schlock and keeps a delicate sincerity even if he is going through the stages of a relationship that he never meant to go anywhere.
Brandon Carroll plays tonight at the Delores Park Cafe 7:30PM

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 28
This is mix that I like, there's a synth portion of this one that is super sexy. That portion starts at the danceable silliness of Starry Eyed Surprise and travels through an 80s futuristic fantasy of Emerge. Some big songs come through here with Seven Nation Army, Crazy In Love, Do You Realize.
1. All My Life by Foo Fighters
Bringing their Rock Back after a little while of sucking ass. This is definitely my second favorite Foo Fighter's song after Everlong.
2. This Fire by Franz Ferdinand
Introducing Franz Ferdinand, Welsh or Scottish, it don't matter
3. Starry Eyed Surprise by Paul Oakenfold
The singer from Crazy Town lends his mediocre vocals to this piece
4. Cars by Gary Newman
So Detached, so robotic and sexy
5. Can't Get you Out Of My head by Kylie Minogue
So Detached, so robotic and sexy
6. (Keep Feeling) Fascination by Human League
Another song that takes us to androgynous keyboard happiness
7. Emerge by Fischerspooner
Paying tribute to techno and performance art
8. Crazy In Love by Beyoncé Feat. Jay-Z
The world hasn't recovered from this song yet
9. Seven Nation Army by White Stripes
Such a simple song, so powerful but that's the blues, right?
10.Slither by Velvet Revolver
Hello modern rock. Weiland, Slash, Duff and Matt Sorum get their big guns out and rock for one of 2004's best songs
11.Caught By The Fuzz by Supergrass
Revisiting a Britpop band that isn't Blur or Oasis.
12.Big Brat by Phantom Planet
I think this is their only good song
13.Do You Realize?? by The Flaming Lips
Sometimes this song can make me shed a tear and sometimes it annoys
14.Roll Out (My Business) by Ludacris
Luda brings his huge head and unique rap style to the world via Atlanta
15.PDA by Interpol
Let's all welcome one of New York City's best bands of the past decade
16.River Deep - Mountain High by Tina Turner
Good God this song is balls out awesome. Phil Spector doing his thing on production
17.Smooth Up In Ya by Bulletboys
One of the 80s best examples of L.A. metal that didn't totally suck ass.
18.The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash
Revelations, my friends, Revelations. This song was used in a Zombie movie, Day of the Dead I think
19.Fuel My Fire by The Prodigy
Who would have thunk L7 would get covered by a British techno band.

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 27
I think I had recently purchased a Hip-Hop compilation which busted out like crazy on my speakers and influenced my mixes.
1. Helter Skelter by The Beatles
"I've got blisters on my finger!" You know what I'm talking about.
2. By The Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This is the last good song the band ever recorded
3. It Takes Two by Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock
When I first heard this song it was ON! I thought it was freaky and super damn cool! It catches your attention with those gasps and shouts; it was too cool to possibly be a huge hit but there it was, awesome.
4. So What'cha Want by The Beastie Boys
This is the first Beastie Boys song I ever liked, everything before it was annoying. Later I grew to appreciate Paul's Boutique
5. Pennyroyal Tea by Nirvana
From the album In Utero which was supposed to sound horrible but really just sounded like the next level of grunge.
6. Get Free by The Vines
I couldn't name another of this band's songs
7. Far Gone And Out by The Jesus & Mary Chain
The pop side of the Scottish duo
8. Pop Song 89 by R.E.M.
This song was on, Green which came out in 88
9. Funkytown by LIpps Inc
Oh, won't you take me down to Funkytown? If there was such a place I have to wonder how much the rent is there; it's gotta' be outrageous!
10.Keep Fishin' by Weezer
Power pop, baby!
11.These Boots Are Made For Walkin' by K.M.F.D.M.
Nancy Sinatra did a version of this song in German which might be why a German industrial band covered it.
12.Young Lust by Aerosmith
The fact that Steven Tyler keeps it in his sneaker makes all the difference.
13.Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy
If you thought you were cool in 1997 this song was rad!
14.Girls On Film by Duran Duran
Duran Duran makes me wish I was a 13 year old girl in 1982
15.Pet Eunuch by Clinic
Showing their less trippy, organ side and rocking out while wearing surgical masks.16.For nancy by Pete Yorn
This song wasn't written for Wynona Ryder but it might as well have
17.There Is an End by The Greenhornes & Holly Golightly
Retro sound for the cocktail set
18.Jump Around by House Of Pain
White rap! The band should have been from Boston but weren't.
19.A Little Less Conversation by Elvis Presley
The King may be dead but his songs will kept popping in places like Oceans 11
20.Up The Bracket by The Libertines
Heralded as the English version of The Strokes, they were much sloppier but somehow as exciting.
21 Love Spreads by the Stone Roses
From the much maligned Second Coming Album; it's a departure form the sparse danceable Stone Roses of the first album and filled with bass and rock guitar
22.Who's Gonna' Ride Your Wild Horses (Temple Bar Mix) by U2
This isn't eh album version, it's a more stripped down version makes the song much more ballsy and heartfelt. They took out all the reverb and synth and replaced it with cello and piano.
1. Helter Skelter by The Beatles
"I've got blisters on my finger!" You know what I'm talking about.
2. By The Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This is the last good song the band ever recorded

This song wasn't written for Wynona Ryder but it might as well have
17.There Is an End by The Greenhornes & Holly Golightly
Retro sound for the cocktail set
18.Jump Around by House Of Pain
White rap! The band should have been from Boston but weren't.
19.A Little Less Conversation by Elvis Presley
The King may be dead but his songs will kept popping in places like Oceans 11
20.Up The Bracket by The Libertines
Heralded as the English version of The Strokes, they were much sloppier but somehow as exciting.
21 Love Spreads by the Stone Roses
From the much maligned Second Coming Album; it's a departure form the sparse danceable Stone Roses of the first album and filled with bass and rock guitar
22.Who's Gonna' Ride Your Wild Horses (Temple Bar Mix) by U2
This isn't eh album version, it's a more stripped down version makes the song much more ballsy and heartfelt. They took out all the reverb and synth and replaced it with cello and piano.
