Weekly Mix # 73

Another week another mix! This one has some sort of theme I think, can we find it through the music? Obviously by the end it all comes around.

1. California Gurls by Katy Perry (feat Snoop Dogg)
One of 2010's huge hit songs and put the chick who bragged about missing girls into mega stardom, getting her a crazy husband.

 
2. Elephant Flares by Redd Kross
Kind of a cult band, kind of the band that only music geeks know and the fact that they're covering Roky Erikson makes it even more precious.

3. My Eyes Have Seen You by The Doors
Television skies . . . Awesome!

 
4. Telephone by The Black Angeles
If the 60's were the 10's

 
5. Draw Japan by The Horrors
More creepy music from I guess one of my favorite albums of that year

 
6. Corvette bummer by Beck
Bonus track from the Loser CD single; it's groovy and dumb but great!

7. The Inevitable Relapse by Filter
Not bad for a comeback that didn't return. The end of the song however flows beautifully into the next one.

 
8. Steppin' Up by M.I. A.
Transitions are so important in a mix and this song picks up so well from the last it's like magic.

 
9. Chase The Tear by Portishead
A speedy Portishead tune that sounds like something off of the Flash Gordon Soundtrack and in the end suddenly become the next song on the mix like it was meant to be!

10.Baby Jane by Rod Stewart

Is this Rod at his best or creepiest? I don't know but the song has always left me feeling raw.

11.Rocks Off by The Rolling Stones
Great Stones! This is one of the reasons people loved Exile On Main Street!

 
12.Personality Crisis by New York Dolls
They were supposed to be the American Stones but they failed and Aerosmith took over.

 
13.Pink Houses by John Cougar Mellencamp
Wave the flag and get down to basics. This is one of those big 80's America songs

 
14.Take Your Mama by Scissor Sisters
Queer music for everybody

 
15.Take it Off by The Donnas
girl groups never sounded so horny

 
16.Rockin' My Life Away by Jerry Lee Lewis feat. Kid Rock & Slash
All Killer no filler. Jerry Lee Lewis has been said to be the devil.

 
17.Vanity Kills by Codeine Velvet Club
Songs that make you wonder what year it is aren't bad

 
18.100 Years from Now by Karen Elson
Old timey throw back tune 

19.Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne
This is like a lost Car's track and it's great! Sorry there's no real Car's song to follow just . . .

 
20.Steal My Sunshine by Len
If you don't like this song you're pretentious; it's just that simple.

 
21.California Girls by The Beach Boys
Every Blue blooded American boy loves this song even if it means all the local hotties wouold be whisked away to Los Angeles . . . doesn't that happen anyway?

pop music looks so weird sometimes!
