Weekly Mix Tape Pt 27

I think I had recently purchased a Hip-Hop compilation which busted out like crazy on my speakers and influenced my mixes.

1. Helter Skelter by The Beatles
"I've got blisters on my finger!" You know what I'm talking about.
2. By The Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This is the last good song the band ever recorded
3. It Takes Two by Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock
When I first heard this song it was ON! I thought it was freaky and super damn cool! It catches your attention with those gasps and shouts; it was too cool to possibly be a huge hit but there it was, awesome.
4. So What'cha Want by The Beastie Boys
This is the first Beastie Boys song I ever liked, everything before it was annoying. Later I grew to appreciate Paul's Boutique
5. Pennyroyal Tea by Nirvana
From the album In Utero which was supposed to sound horrible but really just sounded like the next level of grunge.
6. Get Free by The Vines
I couldn't name another of this band's songs
7. Far Gone And Out by The Jesus & Mary Chain
The pop side of the Scottish duo
8. Pop Song 89 by R.E.M.
This song was on, Green which came out in 88
9. Funkytown by LIpps Inc
Oh, won't you take me down to Funkytown? If there was such a place I have to wonder how much the rent is there; it's gotta' be outrageous!
10.Keep Fishin' by Weezer
Power pop, baby!
11.These Boots Are Made For Walkin' by K.M.F.D.M.
Nancy Sinatra did a version of this song in German which might be why a German industrial band covered it.
12.Young Lust by Aerosmith
The fact that Steven Tyler keeps it in his sneaker makes all the difference.
13.Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy
If you thought you were cool in 1997 this song was rad!
14.Girls On Film by Duran Duran
Duran Duran makes me wish I was a 13 year old girl in 1982
15.Pet Eunuch by Clinic
Showing their less trippy, organ side and rocking out while wearing surgical masks.16.For nancy by Pete Yorn
This song wasn't written for Wynona Ryder but it might as well have
17.There  Is an End by The Greenhornes & Holly Golightly
Retro sound for the cocktail set
18.Jump Around by House Of Pain
White rap! The band should have been from Boston but weren't.
19.A Little Less Conversation by Elvis Presley
The King may be dead but his songs will kept popping in places like Oceans 11
20.Up The Bracket by The Libertines
Heralded as the English version of The Strokes, they were much sloppier but somehow as exciting.
21 Love Spreads by the Stone Roses
From the much maligned Second Coming Album; it's a departure form the sparse danceable Stone Roses of the first album and filled with bass and rock guitar
22.Who's Gonna' Ride Your Wild Horses (Temple Bar Mix) by U2
This isn't eh album version, it's a more stripped down version makes the song much more ballsy and heartfelt. They took out all the reverb and synth and replaced it with cello and piano.

Clinic: the band

The Argument Clinic

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 25

I think this one is alright! This was the first mix I made in the year 2002 so you can seea bit of new bands starting to show up. Not all these songs are easy to find. Enjoy

1. Back In The Saddle By Aerosmith
it's a great way to start a mix and a great way to start an album
2. Automatic Schmuck by The Hives
Welcome to the world of my mixes
3. You're pretty Goo Looking (For A girl) by The White Stripes
One of the many faces of The White Stripes

The Stones get a little bubbly in beat and mean lyrically
5. I Don't Mind by The Buzzcocks
Punk pop pioneers from England
6. Single Girl by Lush
Good little band
7. One Love by The Stone Roses
I believe this is one of the secret recordings the band did while fighting their contract with Silvertone records
8. Here She Comes Now by The Velvet Underground
More songs about drugs
9. Someday by The Strokes
Still in the shadow of New York Bands of the past
10.Hella Good by No Doubt
IS this a dance tune? I don't know
11.Oops by Tweet
Dirty, dirty girl, her only appearance
12.Forgot About Dre by Dr. Dre Fear. Eminem
Some people hate this song because it's not on the first Chronic album
13.Burn Hollywood Burn by Public Enemy
Hollywood movies suck
14.Hotel California by The Eagles
The ideals of California are a lie
15.White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)by Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel
Nancy Reagan loved this song
16.Madness by Madness
This song makes the air seem drunk
17.Sadness by Porno For Pyros
"I got the devil in me"
18.Supernatural by The 360's
Another reason why this band was so good
19.A Drug Against War by K.M.F.D.M.
German industrial techno, bitches
20.Pain For Pleasure by Sum 41
It's cool when a band does a song about their influences
21.King of Rock by RUN-D.M.C.
"I made the devil tell me sell his soul" Brilliant!
