enjoy!
1. When the Rain Comes Down by Andy Taylor
Yup, that Andy Taylor, the one from Duran Duran had a meek solo career but I thought a couple of the songs were alright when I was thirteen or fourteen.
2. NY Girl by Hatcham Social
What Do I know about this band? Nothin'! I guess they're from New Cross in London . . . good for them!
3. This Head I Hold by Electric Guest
Funky music that you won't hear anywhere else.
4. I Can't Stand the Rain by Ann Peebles
If you wondered where the Missy Elliot sample came from, wonder no more.
5. Take One Two by EMA
She's still doing her modern folk thing in a way that I like.
6. Genesis by Grimes
The 80's have touched these kids deeply
7. Only Happy When it Rains by Garbage
Remember when they were huge? Garbage was a big, famous group in the mid 90s and then they floundered like bands are prone to do.
8. Maria Marie by Thieves Like Us
More 80s influenced synth music!
9. Brothers by Tanlines
Moody dance music that sounds like it was made in 1988
10.So. Central Rain by R.E.M.
A classic from the band from Athens GA. What's funny is how I'm equating all the keyboard heavy music in this mix with the 80s when this band was all over the 80s. This music sounds not of it's time but in it's indie heart it's encompassing it.
11.Minimum Day by Cold War Kids
Who doesn't love the Cold War Kids? They're a good band.
12.Go Right Ahead by The Hives
OH MY GOD! Speaking of bands that everybody loves, the Hives are returning to us with another awesome rock song. I love it! I need it!
13.November Rain by Guns N' Roses
It's been such a long time since Axl knew right from wrong . . . This was when he was someplace in between but was still putting out good music with the real band.
14.She's The Woman by Van Halen
OH Yeah! A Different Kind of Truth is Rock and I need it!
15.Rain by The Cult
Another 80s song that is not about keyboards in the least. The Cult were such a good band before they sucked and then rejoined us in the modern world.
16.Girls by Deep Sea Arcade
This is a cool jam with poppy alternative hooks
17. Attic by Paul Weller
The man from the Jam keeps it going and going good.
18.Here Comes The Rain Again by Macy Gray
Yes, she's covering the Eurythmics. Her album of covers is a strange, strange, strange.
19.Bloody Mary(Nerve Endings) by Silversun Pickups
Moody not manic . . . not sure how I feel about this chapter in their career yet.
20 Love Reign O'er Me
Big powerful Who song to wash away the rest! I think this was used in a Sprite add back in the 80's
i had no idea andy taylor had a hit.
