Weekly Mix Tape Pt 32

I believe I had just been introduced to iTunes as I created this mix but I had not yet went crazy on it. This is a weak one with exception to a few songs like Oasis' "Whatever" and Muse' "Stockholm Syndrome"

enjoy


1. Why Do You Love me? by Garbage
Goodbye Garbage, this is the last thing worth while the band did, maybe if Shirly just hated herself a little more . . .
2. Never Enough by The Cure
One of my favorite Cure songs, is this on a non greatest hits album?
3. Toxic by Britney Spears
Hello Britney and goodbye. This song came out when a lot of music sudenly had middle eastern strings thrown in the mix
4. Milkshake by Kelis
How is this song supposed to make me feel?
5. White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane

Haight/Ashbury at it's apex! Also a side note this song was in the movie Platoon
6. Stockholm Syndrome by Muse
A great song that was never on the radio; I discovered it on a juke box in a bar
7. Next To You by The Police
They have nothing like this energy anymore
8. Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand

Are they Scottish? Are they gay? These are the things I here about them.
9. The Metro by Berlin
Somber 80s pop with synthesizers all over it. It doesn't make me love riding the subway but it does romanticize it.
10.Sexy Boy by Air

Trippy 90s synthesizer pop
11.I, Zombie by White Zombie
You can not deny The White Zombie! It doesn't bet much more badass than this!
12.Breakin' by The Music
Meh
13.Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant
This is one of the first videos I'd ever seen; it was so cool to me when I was 9 years old. I think Axl Rose still his outfit for one of those piano videos
14.Triple Trouble by The Beastie Boys

Man, this group sucked at this point
15.Birdbrain by Buffalo Tom
Boston Rocks!!! But alas Buffalo Tom is no more . . . tough they got kinda' lame towards the end
16.Church Of The Poison Mind by Culture Club
Is this my favorite Culture Club song? I think so, very Motown
17.Whatever by Oasis

One of the best non album songs ever released
18.Louis XVI by Louis XIV
Not one of their best songs but it's passable as background noise
19.Crazy Beat by Blur
Blur's last studio album before Damon Albarn
20.Honky Tonk Women by The Rolling Stones
This song is all about the cowbell
21.Rebellion (Lies) by Arcade Fire
Let's welcome Arcade Fire to the mixes! They big sweeping songs, don't they? It seems this band is also quite polarizing which is weird to me

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 29

I think Imade this mix in 2004 and I think it's pretty good though the reggae part of the mix isn't really reggae and the synth portions were all inspired by Grand Theft Auto: Miami

1. United States Of Whatever by Liam Lynch
One of the most stupid and awesome songs ever; it is a joke but at the same time encapsulates what American punk is all about.
2.Harder To Breathe by Maroon 5
Did I ever like this song? Not so sure but I do know that the band says they didn't want to put this song on their album; it apparently wasn't wussy enough.
3. Who Do you Love by George Thorogood & The Delaware Destroyers
Lonesome George took Bo Diddley's signature song and made his own, you can hear it in Sam Adams beer commercials if you're not familiar with the tune.
4. Songbird by Oasis
Post What's The Story Morning Glory isn't all bad.
5. Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones
Whatever
6. Ramones by Motörhead
Lemmy must've really liked the Ramones to cover their theme song
7. California by Wax
A song about Los Angeles sucking: "smog isn't blue, someone should have warned you". This song's video also contributed to one of the Greatest Beavis and Butthead moments of all time
8. Take My Breath Away by Berlin
I don't care; it's a delightfully sweeping good example of 80s synth rock. Though I'd rather think about it's use in the scene from Ocean's 11 than Tom Cruise total gaysploitation film, Top Gun.
9. Time Is Running Out by Muse
Ladies and gentlemen, Muse, 1 part Queen and 1 part Radiohead. I didn't really listen to this song or get it until I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on an L.A. freeway.
10.Sunglasses At Night by Corey Hart
Don't mess with the man in Shades, oh no! Corey had bigger hits but his first is still the best.
11.Somebody Told Me by The Killers
I have no idea what this song is about and that's probably why I liked it.
12.Stay Up Late by Talking Heads
It's strange that really don't care for the Talking Heads and yet I like some of their songs
13.Gimme Some More by Busta Rhymes
Anything Bbusta wants, Busta gets.
14.Lapdance by N.E.R.D.
It is agreed that Hookers and Politicians sound the same to me as well
15.Two Tribes by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Gayest band in history? You be the judge
16.Smoke Two Joints by Sublime
Nobody was really shocked that Bradley Nowell OD'd on drugs were they? I suppose if you smoke to joints before you smoke two joints and then you smoke two more you're not going to make too many good life decisions.
17.Underneath It All by No Doubt
Underneath it all this song makes me mushy, maybe it's the Jamaican dance hall break.
18.Get Busy by Sean Paul
Jamaican, Jewish, former water polo player makes it big State side with incomprehensible dance hall big beats.
19.Naughty Girl by Beyoncé
Christian girl from Houston gets freaky
20. Jerk It Out by Caesars
So Sincere in their championing of former Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders' Mia Culpe
21.Why Don't You Find out For Yourself by Morrissey
Crooning his way through a tale about exploitation from his record company?
22.Shattered by Rock City Morgue
A Song about New York City sucking, "Go ahead, take a bight of the Big Apple, don't mind the maggots"
23. Radar Love by Golden Earring
I like to end mixes with big classic rock songs, the fact that their Dutch has nothing to with anything
