Weekly Mix Tape Pt 44

This is an 80s heavy mix with three songs from 1981 alone, can you figure out which ones? The newer songs in this mix are weak but that is bound to happen so we can enjoy the past more. Listen and enjoy the songs; they're all available for down load someplace.

1. The Queen Is Dead by the Smiths
A song about being drag
2. Bright Yellow Gun by Throwing Muses
A great little band from Providence
3. Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield
His biggest hit and a song that still speaks to covetous men today!
4. Suck My Kiss by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This is what the Chili peppers are really all about in the end
5. Rock Show by Peaches
Not her best effort but it's kinda' fun
6. Hung Up by Madonna
Danceable as always
7. Heroes by David Bowie
One of his best. There's some neat production on this.
8. Love To hate You by Erasure
I think this is my favorite Erasure song
9. Rock & Roll Queen by The Subways
This song was in an awful movie called RocknRolla
10.Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar
She was a rocker chick inthe first degree but then she got soft on us and ran with shadows
11.The Stroke by Billy Squier
Really it's just funny that there's a song called The Stroke.

Before Kip Winger there was Billy Squier
 
12.Just Like Honey by The Jesus and Mary Chain
More like, just like heroin
13.Crimson and Clover by Joan Jett
Like always Joan nails her covers
14.This Boy by Franz Ferdinand
A little spinner of a song
15.Johnny and Mary by Robert Palmer
Somber stories from the man who would bring us, Simply Irresistible and Addicted To Love
16.Different Drum Linda Ronstadt with The Stone Poneys
Linda was breaking hearts before she hooked up with Governor Jerry Brown
17.I'm Not A Loser by Descendants
What is this song about? Read the lyrics and you figure it out.
18.Girls Attractive by Diamond Nights
I bet there are people who like this song much more than I do.
19.The Love Cats by The Cure
One of their best tunes! Chicks dig it!
20.The Witch by The Cult
When 80s goth rock bands trip into the 90s with a drum loop this happens
21.In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins
A favorite for years and maybe Phil's best song, he hadn't gone all Sussudio on us. Recently it's been heard and loved in The Hangover

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 41

 2005 going on and going sorta' strong. Enjoy the sounds and such

1. Danger! High Voltage by Electric Six
This is a fake band with Jack White singing back up vocals
2. Love Buzz by Nirvana
Very early Nirvana
3. Jesus Walks by Kanye West
I think this was before he said George W. Bush didn't like black people 
4. Christian, Christian by The Start
This is what an independent Los Angeles band sounds like
5. Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge
This is what we're supposed to think an independent L.A. band is supposed to sound like
6. Satisfaction by Benny Benassi & The Bizz
You know this songs from dance clubs and burger commercials
7. Everybody Wants You by Billy Squier
Wellesley MA.'s own rock star.
8. Kick It by Peaches & Iggy Pop
Some duets are better but few are as weirdly entertaining
9. Don't Go by Yaz
This song is not by Red Sox great Carl Yestremski butu by a couple of U.K. musicians
10.Rite Of Shiva by Machines Of Loving Grace
Machines of Loving Grace filled the void while Nine Inch Nails were busy touring and recording new material
11.Dare by Gorillaz
Listen close as the former Happy Mondays singer lends his Manchester vocals to this track
12.Oh! Darling by The Beatles
Short and sweet
13.Glamour Is a Rocky Road by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult
 This band was edgy at one point
14.Save It For Later by The English Beat
Ska flavored pop
15.Holding Out For A Hero, Bonnie Tyler
She had another hit besides Total Eclipse of the Heart and this epic, over the top work out tempo song was it
16.America, Fuck Yeah by Team America
From the movie, Team America
17.Eleanor Put Your Boots On by Franz Ferdinand
Is Brooklyn dirt nice?
18.Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
A modern day folk song.
19.I've Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash
As heard in commercials
20.The Denial Twist by The White Stripes
More stripped down rock
21.Skin by Madelia
This is what mid decade San Francisco bands sounded like . . . not really. They put on a great live show.
22.The Boys of Summer by Don Henley
I have to say that this song is undeniable in it's somberness that transcends your musical biases.
