Weekly Mix Tape 47

Happy 2011!
I wish I could tell you that all the mixes recalled would go to 11 but they're pretty much the same old song and dance. This one was from 2006, the songs are good, enjoy buying and listening to these nuggets of pop history. Songs 15-19 might make you want to dance.

1. Bad To The Bone by George Thorogood & The Destroyers

All time classic bar room song and driving song.

2. Can't Stand Me Now by The Libertines
Their songs were so sloppy but so catchy

3. Anything, Anything by Dramarama

This song always sounded like a Smiths melody to me. Anyway it's their first single.

4. Now Is the Time by Damone

Damone get lighter and prettier

5. Old School Hollywood by System of a Down

This song mentions Tony Danza; it's sad.

6. Whiplash by Motörhead

They covered Metalica and made a good sound on this one.

7. Volcano Girls by Veruca Salt

Great song but never caught on as much as their previous hit, "The Seether" did. Mtv didn't get behind it and that was that.

8. Mississippi Queen by Mountain

One of the all time dumb, 70s rockers with tons of cow bell!

9. King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown by Augustus Pablo

Dub can be a good palette cleanser for a mix tape because you can go anywhere from it.

10.World Wide Suicide by Pearl Jam

Pearl Jam's triumphant come back! This song made me think they had rediscovered how to rock but by their next album it was clearly a blip on their downward trajectory.

11. Mockingbirds by Grant Lee Buffalo
 The singer came from Stockton California.
12.Murder, Tonight In the Trailer Park by Cowboy Junkies 
This is a song I loved when it was on the radio and then forgot about it for many years. Trailer Park crime finally had it's theme.

13.Steady As She Goes by The Raconteurs

Ladies and gentlemen, Jack White has left The White Stripes but not really. They put on a great live show.

14.Pure Morning by Placebo

I hated this song until 2006 when suddenly it was huge and wonderful; it took me a nother few years to get into the band.

15.Golden Years by David Bowie

Bowie liked to get his disco soul on and so should you

16.I Love A Man In Uniform by Gang of Four

This band is lauded by critics but I'm not sure why. They rerecorded this song in the 90s with backup singers it was cool.

17.Catholic School Girls Rule by Red hot Chili Peppers

Maybe they do, I'm not really sure anybody has scientifically proven the statement. If somebody does indeed have proof of this please direct me to the article for enlightenment.

18.You Make My Dreams Come True by Hall & Oates

Ear candy from Philadelphia

19.Phenomena by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Hypnotic and howling, Karen O delivers the goods with some psychedelic bass lines.

20.Push Th' little Daisies by Ween

Maybe one of the most notorious songs of the early 90s, Ween figured out a way to drive people crazy, tell off their detractors in weird fashion and path the way for Beck. The video is an accurate time capsule of life in 1992.

21.Alone Again Or by The Damned

This song is a cover I think.

22.Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley

Buckley was over the top almost in a soul singer kind of way; he drown before he could finish another album after 1994's Grace which also includes his Leonard Cohen cover, Hallelujah
