Weekly Mix Tape Pt 31

This a strange mix but I like it; it doesn't veer too far in any direction and stays the course of solid. I think I made this mix in early 2005.
enjoy

1. 100% by Sonic Youth
Two minutes and thirty seconds of beautiful noise
2. Dirty Little Thing by Velvet Revolver
Scott Weiland really does his thing on this track; I can see him singing this when his voice comes on
3. Hollywood Nights by Bob Seger
That galloping beat, the story, the emoting all make Mr. Seger deserve more modern props
4. Candy Everybody Wants by 10,000 Maniacs
College music goes mainstream; is this a happy song?
5. Pain by Jimmy Eat World
Jimmy Eat World would have been bigger in the 80s as they don't fit our modern ideas of needing to categorize rock bands into sub genres
6. Black Heart by Calexico
Depressing . . .
7. Vertigo by U2
The last good U2 song
8. Ace Of Spades by Motörhead
This is one of the greatest hard rock songs ever and somehow I didn't hear it's first 24 years of public availability.
9. Megalomaniac by Incubus
This is the only Incubus song I can tolerate
10.Magic by Olivia Newton-John
She's straight about it, "We have to believe we are magic, nothing can stand in our way."Olivia's vocals were so seductive on this track I was ready to believe her, roller skates and all
11.Brain Stew by Green Day
I thought for a while this would be Green Day's last song of note but then that American Idiot thing showed up.
12.Callin' Out by Lyrics Born
East Bay style rap; is it better than the Humpty Dance?
13.Fit but You Know It by The Streets
Listen and follow the story; it's funny
14.The Widow by The Mars Volta
Overrated band
15.Slow Hands by Interpol
Sounding like Joy Division and on the top of their game
16.An Honest Mistake by The Bravery
Sounding like New Order and on the top of their game
17.People Who Died by Jim Carroll
Death is funny when it rhymes. R.I.P. Jim
18.The Rat by The Walkmen
For me there was only this song by These guys and then they exploded
19.Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Ladies and gentlemen, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. This is a great song to put on a Mix CD when you're moving away from your loved one or the other way around
20.Rock You Like A Hurricane by Scorpions
EPIC metal from the 80s; if their is one song you need in your collection by these Germans, this is it.
