Weekly Mix Tape Pt 26

This one was also done back in 2002. It continues my Aerosmith adoration as well as my discover of that trippy band, Clinic. I first heard them in a Border's book store while on the 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica where Patricia Richardson was being shown the way to a private bathroom. Please make an attempt to listen to new music and enjoy some of these songs.

1. Without Me by Eminem
From Marshal Mathers' third album, I first heard this song in Las Vegas
2. Big Ten Inch Record by Aerosmith
The bad boys of Boston at their innuendo best
3. I Can't Explain by The Who
I put this in as filler, no lie
4. Time Bomb by Rancid
This song was everywhere back in the mid 90s; it's kinda' turned into classic rock
5. Santeria by Sublime
If you are smart you will stay away from Santeria
6. Play With Fire by The Rolling Stones
Don't play with fire and don't mess with the Stones
7. Fell In Love With A Girl by The White Stripes
They do their best Buzzcocks tune and never again do they play like this
8. Clash City Rockers by The Clash
Not their best song
9. Just A Girl by No Doubt
The Song that started it all for this band from the Tragic Kingdom
10.Toxicity by System Of A Down
As time goes by this songs seems less interesting
11.California Dreamin' by The Mamas & The Papas
A 60s anthem about getting out of the cold and getting west
12.Walking With Thee by Clinic
Ladies and Gentlemen, Clinic the faceless band from England. One of the best bands to never make a blip in the U.S.
13.Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World
This is a nice little song by a little band
14.Dope Nose by Weezer
He alludes to Welcome to The Jungle . . . Awesome!
15.Barely Legal by The Strokes
Another great song from Is This It?, One of the best albums of the 00s
16.Bedbugs and Ballyhoo by Echo & The Bunnymen
That;s the way the bee bumbles
17.Sick & Tired by Cardigans
I saw them play live and they were great
18.A.K.A. I-D-I-O-T by The Hives
Frenetic!
19.B.O.B. by Outkast
This is Oukasts first voyage into a mix of mine, also my favorite song of theirs, Bomb Over Baghdad
20.Mama Told Me Not To Come by Three Dog Night
This song always makes me giggle
21.Can't Do A thing To Stop Me by Chris Isaak
Mr. Isaak would later become more creepy but not by much
22.Rise by Public Image Ltd.
All the anger in the world through Johnny Rotten in the 70s became this in the 80s

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 11

This weeks mix has got some sweeping songs, some anthem caliber songs if you will. This mix has the capacity to be the greatest mix ever buut it's not; it's sort of like the Yankees of mix tapes every song is an all star (a side from Post Card Blues, Free and Veda Very Shining). I would say some of these songs shouldn't be together on a mix because they are so powerful they could destroy one another. Lets examine and enjoy shall we?

Mix #11 from Solidpants on 8tracks.

1. I Love Rock N' Roll by Joan Jett
Ladies and gentlemen, Joan Jett in all her early 80s awesomeness, fresh from the Runaway's crash site Joan rocked and set the style for hipster chicks in the early 21st century.
2. Veda very Shining by Letters To Cleo
Once Letters To Cleo was one of my favorite bands and a group I thought to be vastly underrated; I never listen to them anymore.
3. Home by Iggy Pop
Slash and Duff make this song rock the balls!
4. Monkey Man by The Rolling Stones
What can I say this song just gets better and better..
5. Add It Up by Violent Femmes
"Why can't I get just one kiss?" because you are a whiny twerp!
6. 50ft. Queenie by PJ Harvey
PJ's best song.
7. The Look Of Love by ABC
ABC made me want to wear a suit and be a playboy; I was 9 years old
8. Don't Speak by No Doubt
Even Hard Criminals loved this weepy song. I liked the Spanish guitar
9. Blue Spanish Sky by Chris Isaak
Mr. Isaak has made his sadness lethal; this song made me want to shoot myself in sympathy.
10. Burro by Beck
Continuing my pseudo Spanish/Mexican them, Beck does a Spanish version of his song "Jack Ass"
11.Ring Of Fire by Johnny Cash
More south of the border sounds
12.Free by Mazzy Star
Loved Mazzy Star in the Early 90s before the "Fade Into You" song hit.
13.Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots
This may be STP's best song and may be one of the best songs of the 90s
14.Jupiter and Teardrop by Grant Lee Buffalo
Just Listen to the Story
15.Baba O'Riley by The Who
Teenage wasteland
16.Hell by Sqirrel Nut Zippers
I wouldn't doubt if this song was played in hell; it seems to know more than the living should
17.Celebrate by U2
U2 doesn't really have the energy to make songs rock this anymore but that's okay. 
18.Postcard Blues by Cowboy Junkies
Haunting, sensual with notes of heroin abuse; it's a nice musical salad.
19.Jurassitol by Filter
I'm not a big fan of this post industrial band but I do dig this one off the The Crow: City of Angels soundtrack
20.Paradise City by Guns N' Roses

So, so good!
