Weekly Mix Tape Pt 43

Happy Thanksgiving you Jive Turkeys
There are some odd 808s gems dug up and given to you from me but that's because I was searching for songs I used to kind of like. What's strange to me is that some of the new songs Nth Degree and Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt and Chords have an 80s feel.

find these songs and enjoy

1. Beat So Lonely by Charlie Sexton
Later Charlie went on to form the Arch Angels
2. Nth Degree by Morning Wood
Welcome to the mixes Morningwood
3. Gold Dust Woman by Fleetwood Mac
This is creepy song; it kind of gets in the skin. IS this the first Fleetwood Mac song to be tossed in here? It might be.
4. Life's What you Make It by Talk Talk
This is the other song released by the band who brought you, It's My Life
5. New Year's Day by U2
This song makes me cold
6. Chords by Madelia
From the "good song you've never heard" department
7. Llorando by Rebeka Del Rio
Featured in the film Mulholland Drive in a very freaky scene

8. And We Danced by The Hooters

As far as I know they have nothing to to do with the restaurant

9. Give me Novacaine by Green Day

I don't know why they spelled incorrectly but they did

10.Evil and a Heathen by Franz Ferdinand

They used to call songs like these, "deep tracks"

11.Got The Time bu Joe Jackson

When you listen to the speed of this song it makes perfect sense that Anthrax covered it.

12.Los Angeles by X

She had to leave Los Angeles but alas she never did

13.The Stand by The Alarm

Some people called them the next U2

14.City Noise by Scarling

More Goth rock!

15.Let the Music Do The talking by Aerosmith

I don't think they were totally clean at this moment as this was from the album right before Permanent Vacation.

16.Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt by We Are Scientists

A song about being young and lusty

17.What Katie Did by The Libertines

British garage band rock

18.You're So Vain by Carly Simon

That sun of a gun, Warren Beatty never felt so loved

19.Plowed by Sponge

Kind of dark and nebulous in meaning

20.Sneakyville by The Lmonheads

This song is apparently all Charles Manson quotes but I can't confirm this

21.Lawyers In Love by Jackson Brown
A great song about the 80s that includes a good howl and witty lyrics

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.
