Weekly Mix Tape Pt 46

You will experince the rocking highs of Mt. AC/DC and Peaks of Damone and you will be then dropped into the Abyss Hall & Oates, you will swim through the Sea of Nightrain and a Blue Bayou. Wandering the dark valleys where Siouxsie & The Banshees sing you run from the Wolfmother! Alas it's all a fantasy under strict control of he Dream Police!
Enjoy because I am a dork!

1. That's The Way I wanna Rock & Roll by AC/DC

This almost a lost track in the lexicon of AC/DC, maybe it was because it was contending with more energetic songs of the late 80s

2. Dream Police by Cheap Trick

Epic, synth rocker!  I saw them in 1988 and they did a great show!

3. What Girls Want by Material Issue

It's a funny song and sort of right on

4. Aweful by Hole

I'm not sure which rock star wrote this song for Courtney Love but it is the bands best song. It's a sick overview of being a young girl in Hollywood

5. Out Here All Night by Damone

Boston Rocks! I was delighted and intregued when I first heard this song; it has ballz! Welcome Damone!

6. I Turn My Camera On by Spoon

This song is flacid and a way to shill after too much guitars

7.The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill by The Beatles

Why this song? It's kind of like a kids song; it has a sing along  and sounds cute.

8. Maneater by Hall & Oates

Smooth sax, keyboards, distinct bass . . . this is almost background music for porn but wound up being a top ten hit.

9. No Shelter by Rage Against The Machine

Starts off smooth but gets very agro quickly. This was the best thing about the 1998 Godzilla movie.

10.Live Wire by Mötley Crüe

This is the beginning of a band that got huge, besides the various Tommy Lee, drum stupidy at the end of the song it was one of the groups best tracks.

11.Knock On Wood by Morningwood

Covering disco is a very clever thing indeed

12.Nightrain by Guns N' Roses

Some songs have a life of their own, this song is one of them; it lives in it's own universe of cheap booze

13.Trains to Brazil by Guillemots

Because the Nightrain is a bit too much for some the Train to Brazil is much more nice

14.Disappear by INXS

There is nothing wrong with loving Austrailia's second greates band. They make the people want to dance!

15.Sorry by Buckcherry

Somebody told these guys that singing about partying was nice and all but you have to show the world that there's more to you than that. So Josh and boys wrote a song and apologized for it.

16.Mysteries by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

From the excellent Show Your Bones album.

17.Life Is Sweet by The Start

An L.A. band that is crazy sounding and feels very influenced by the band that follows

18.Love in a Void by Siouxsie & The Banshees

Young and angry and in love, Goth punk at a high level

19.Blue Bayou by Linda Ronstadt

I know it's a Roy Orbison song but I prefer to think of it as hers

20.Haven't Got a Clue by Dramarama

The call in the beginning of the song is from a prankster who harassed a bartender and recorded it. It's horribly funny.

21.Woman by Wolfmother

If you knew me when this song was hot you were annoyed at how much I listened to this Black Sabbath influenced piece. It rocks but alas they never got this bad ass again.

22.We Will Rock You by Queen

Thank you Queen for existing

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 10

This is the weekly mix and it's a weird one. There are some good songs off bad albums such as "Warped", "Ty Cobb" and Undercover of the Night". The Mix has classic rock from AC/DC, The Who and Cheap Trick and some Manchester punch from Oasis and the Stone Roses. The songs you don't know on here are G.L.O.B. and maybe U2's Mofo but the latter is U2 so it's more well known than it has any right to. I don't know what the mix is about but The Rolling Stones to the Stone Roses to Oasis row meant something I think.
enjoy!

Mix #10 from Solidpants on 8tracks.

1. Warped by Red Hot Chili Peppers
The rest of One Hot Minute was garbage but this some good shit.
2. Ty Cobb by Soundgarden
This is a strange song. It is great to listen to at the gym however or when you're beating up somebody.
3. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by AC/DC
I love me early some AC/DC. Bon Scott AC is just a little more filth covered, a little more illicit sounding. HIGH VOLTAGE!
4. Undercover of the Night by The Rolling Stones
Possible a horrible 80s Rolling Stones song but I really enjoy it. To me it's the lost good one.
5. Begging You by The Stone Roses
From the much maligned, Second Coming this was one of the stand outs of the album.
6. Supersonic by Oasis
I didn't get into their first album until I really got into their second. Supersonic is plodding but it's so good.
7. New by No Doubt
No Doubt were trying to separate themselves from the ska that made them rich and it resulted in some good little pop, rock songs. I don't recall anybody really being into them until they put out, Rock Steady a couple years later.
8. The Needle And The Damage Done by Neil Young
Stay off heroin kids
9. Magic bus by The Who
but weed and LSD are fine. When I was a kid I thought this was a kids song, i thought it was funny but then I aged and I realized what drugs were.
10.Cursed Female by Porno For Pyros
 I can never decide how I feel about this Perry Ferrel band. Were they good or just sort of okay? I like this one as it's sort of hypnotic and the subject matter is weird. A woman who dress like a man to have sex with men, is that right?
11.Paranoid by Black Sabbath
You will rock and you will bow to sabbath!
12. Peace Dog by The Cult
More rock off the American rock inspired, Electric.
13. Hard To Handle by The Black Crows
Great job covering Otis Redding.
14.I get Around by The Beach Boys
Something was changing with these guys, maybe it was drugs, maybe it was mental instability by Bryan Wilson.
15.Electric Barbarella by Duran Duran
I am a big fan of this mediocre era of Duran Duran. It's very slick and catchy.
16.MOFO by U2
U2 went disco, it was supposed to be clever but clever doesn't sell records. I think they knew they were in a shitty age of music and were trying to do something about it.
17. Super Nova by Liz Phair
I like to pretend she sang this song to me
18.G.L.O.B. by The 360's
One of my favorite Boston bands. The 360's rocked real awesome like but could never make it to the national stage.
19. Call Me by Blondie
A song about a gigolo. This was the theme to, American Gigolo. It's a rocker regardless what it's origin.  
20 I Want You To Want Me by Cheap Trick
At some point in one's classic rock education this song becomes important as you realize the power of the concert. Live at the Budokan!
