Weekly Mix #68

This is one of the worst mixes I've ever put together. Sorry for the let down but hopefully you can get a little joy out of some of it. There are quite a few covers on here so that makes it sort of fun. Next weeks is totally better.


1. I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister
I guess I really just enjoy kicking off mixes with 80's rock. This song got some notoriety when closed minded Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker. Twisted Sister made him stop using it as his walk on music.
2. So So Special by The Bardo
You don't know this band and don't pretend you do. They seem like good ol' boys playing good ol' rock and who knows, maybe they are.
3. K.I.A. by JET
Killed In Action, JET continues to suck and blow all at once but it's sometimes the only rock out there.
4. Down by 311
Chill! Rap and rock together at last! Well not really, they just expanded on the genre. Is this their biggest hit?
5. Meds by Placebo
Take your prescription drugs, be better, that's what this song is about.
6. This Is Why I'm Hot by Mims
Some songs make you feel cool/hot this is one of them. It makes me want a yacht and and all that goes with it.
7. I Told You I Was Freaky by Flight Of The Concords
Joke music is sometimes better than the real thing.
8. The One by Slaughterhouse
Hey! More rap rock that sucks! It was a free download.
9. Ain't No Rest For The Wicked by Cage The Elephant
This song is kinda' groovy but then it sucks all at the same time.
10.Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen
This is the original, not the Jeff Buckley version or one of those stupid American idol attempts, this is the old man getting weird.
11.Don't Worry Baby by The Beach Boys
Romantic and backed with a huge Brian Wilson sound; this song is emotional and tender
12.Bad Romance by Lady GaGa
She can't really sing, she can't really dance  and she looks are Medusa like but she's a star. Every song she does is taken from someplace else almost shamelessly; this one to me starts off sounding like Eurasure.
13.Hang Up the Pinup by Cobra Killer
Here is your buzz saw indie rock for the week; it's the sort of song that evil elves would listen to.
14.Heartbreaker by Nirvana
Kurt replies, "I don't know it" to a fan who yells for the band to play the Zeppelin classic and then figures it out as if the hammer of the gods came down and smashed it into him. His vocals are proof to some sort of anguish at least.
15.Nice Boys by Rose Tattoo
Australian rockers showing up and getting down. Not everything down under is AC/DC and INXS
16.You're Crazy by Guns N' Roses
G n' R covered Rose Tattoo's  Nice Boys and they even covered this song on their EP. 
17.California Queen by Wolfmother
My interest in Wolfmother ended with their second album and it probably should have ended before that. More Aussie rock!
18.Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows by Lesley Gore
Leslie Gore is crazy as I've stated before, how can she sing this song, It's My Party and Now It's Judy's Turn To Cry? Wacky!
19.Hungry End by Dan Sartain
He's had much better songs and this one just seems like he's in a funk
20.Laura by Girls
It's a little ditty that makes one want to skip along the sidewalk
21.Long Tall Sally by The Backbeat Band
Remember this movie, Backbeat, starring Stephen Dorf as the fifth Beatle? The band they used to do the music had a line up that included Dave Pirner , Thurston Moore, Mike Mills, Dave Grohl and a couple other dudes; it's very aggressive pop.
22.Red Right Hand by Arctic Monkeys
Cover Nick Cave takes balls, I like the original best butu this version has a bit more speed.
23.Murder By Number by The Police
When this came out it wasn't on the record and only on the cassette. Sting and the boys show their humorous side by explaining you can kill people and rhyme.
