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 24

Here it is you Weekly mix of songs that fit nicely onto an 80 minute CD. This mix is better than it looks.

1. One Step Beyond by Madness
Great name for a band and one the best openings to a song!
2. Fuel by Metallica
This song should start the Mix or another mix
3. Can U Dig It? by Pop Will Eat Itself
Late 80s techno is so tasty!
4. 19-2000 by Gorillaz
Dorky and fun song
5. Hay Baby by No Doubt
So what if I like this song
6. Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones
The beginning to this song gets me every time, hooked!
7. Chop Suey by System Of A Down
System Of A Down peaked on this song
8. Machinehead by Bush
Back in the day that this rocked it was a sign that nothing much in music was happening
9. Fat Lip by Sum 41
Punk for 1st graders but very funny
10.Agony by The Muffs
More punk for 1st graders
11.The Modern Age by The Strokes
Too many varieties . . .
12.The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
If they never released another song after this I would have been happy. This is from the album Bleed American Which some people though was negative in the wake of 9/11
13.Judy Is A Punk by The Ramones
It broke her parents heart too
14.Hungry Like A Wolf by Duran Duran
A song like this could only be recorded by Duran Duran nobody else could bring the earnestness to it.
15.Sandwiches by Detroit Grand Pubahs
This song is so weird but so inectious
16.Fever by Madonna
This is dumb dance song
17.Get The Party Started by Pink
This song is so much worse in retrospect than I once thought it was
18.Someday I Will Treat You Good by Sparklehorse
This song was stuck in my head for years before I commited to buying the CD

Tanya sang with Throwing Muses, The Breeders and Belly
20.Trust by K.M.F.D.M.
Does not stand for Kill Moth Fucking Depeche Mode
21. Living After Midnight by The Donnas
This is what 4 barely legal girls covering Judas Priest sound like

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 22

Happy July! This Mix was not very good so I went back in time and rearranged the muthuh! Now it is a rock fest that gets awesome all the time! There are a couple bands that premier on this little list and I was very happy about it in the end!

Listen and enjoy

1. Bulls on Parade by Rage Against The Machine
This song is balls out from the beginning! Funny to think the group just about broke up before finishing this album
2. She Gives Me Love by The Godfathers
It's a badass song with that slick beat. How is this song better than there biggest single, "Birth, School, Work, Death"?
3. Everything Zen by Bush
It took me years to finally sorta' like this song, I don't get all pissy when I hear it anymore
4. California Love by 2 Pac & Dr. Dre
WEST SIDE! RIP 2 Pac
5. Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz
Let's welcome the Damon Albarn gone weird project; it's lovely.
6. Daughters of the Chaos by Luscious Jackson
This song was so cool in 1992 it gave ridiculous points if you liked it.
7. You're So Pretty - We're So Pretty by The Charletons
This band actually made some good music after their first album, here's some proof
8. Precious by The Pretenders
They rocked hard for us just once but it was enough to give them crazy cred!
9. Little Room by The White Stripes
Ladies and gentlemen the best band of the decade
10.Shut Your Mouth by Garbage
It's not a bad song but it's not as good anything off their second album
11.Sweet Dreams (Are made Of This) by Eurythmics
A perfect Song
12.Ray Of Light by Madonna
Madge keeps on dancing
13.On Fire by Spiritualized
This is not the Van Halen Song
14.Come On And Love Me by Lenny Kravitz
If I was a chick this song would make me go on and love Lenny
15.Photograph by Weezer
A nice little ditty that isn't the Def Leppard Song
16.Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers
Feel his agony! I do and I don't even know why.
17.Fallin' by Alicia Keys
Isn't this "Moonlight Senata"?
18.All Together Now by The Beatles
Let's get happy!
19.Burn Baby Burn by Ash
This is the last time Ash will appear on a mix. I think.
20.Because I Got High by Afroman
I'm kinda' embarrassed about having this song on here. It used to end the mix but it wasn't meant to be. There was a kid in my grade school who we used to call afroman.
21.Ultraviolet (Light My Way) by U2
Depressing end to good line up, no?

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 12

There's more groove and dance to this mix than one might expect from me which is why I keep making mixes! I need to explore my music collection,

Mix #12 from Solidpants on 8tracks.

1. Hate To Say I Told You So by The Hives

The only band that matters. Well that's quite an exaggeration but welcome to America boys. Who knew Sweden rocked so hard?

2. Beercan by Beck
Groovy shit!
3. Candy-O by The Cars
The Cars never rocked like this!
4. Renegades of Funk by Rage Against the Machine
Even protest is funky.
5. The perfect Drug by Nine Inch Nails
Trent's drum n' Bass experiment from the "Lost Highway" sound track.
6. Loser by 3 Doors Down

Hick Rock

 7. Hello Operator by The White Stripes
Hello White Stripes.
8. Jailbreak by AC/DC
RIP Bon Scott, you crazy man
9. In The Highways by The Peasall Sisters
Old Timey music from O' Brother Where Art Thou?
10.Ghost of Stephen Foster by Squirrel Nut Zippers
Their best song
11. Criminal by Fiona Apple
Top 5 crazy girl song. Be aware of chicks who sing this at Karaoke
12. Town Called Malice by The Jam
This is a total classic British song
13.Diggin' Your Scene by Smash Mouth
Does Smash Mouth suck? You be the judge
14.Groove is in the Heart by Deee-lite
3 e's is maybe too many but this song has become a classic with some help from Q-tip and Bootsy Collins
15.Music by Madonna
She's never been this funky before and that was that
16.Hammering In My Head by Garbage
More beats, sexy vocals and a cryptic topic
17.Pluto by Björk
A deep track from Iceland
18.Optimistic by Radiohead
OVERRATED and there it is
19.Beautiful Day by U2
I hate this song
20. You Can't Always get What You Want by the Rolling Stones
Classic Rock always makes for a great mix ending

Listen and enjoy

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 5

There are more awesome tunes on this mix than you should be able to handle so listen with caution. We have many huge hits like "Sweet Emotion", The Beautiful People" and Wonderwall. and a couple lesser known gems like Morphine's "The Night" which was written just before singer and bassist Mark Sandman passed away on to the eternal B-side. Also Izzy Stradlin showing why he was so important to G'n'R with the frantic "Double talin' Jive"
In addition this mix has one of top 5 favorite love songs of all time, "Everlong"; I'll disclose the others at some point. Speaking of Top Fives, "Bedtime Story" is one of my top Five favorite Madonna songs, did you know that?
Lastly I think this ends the Buzzcocks appearances on my mixes.

1. 20th Century Boy by T. Rex
Sometimes I think T. Rex is the coolest band ever but then I listen to their songs and I feel I've been duped. This is one of Marc Bolan and the boys better efforts. It's cool. 

2. Ever Fallen In Love by The Buzzcocks
Is this their best song or is it Orgasm Addict? So many bands have taken what the Buzzcocks did in the late 70s and made much more money than they ever did. Green Day
3. Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith
There are good songs, there are great songs and then there are songs that take on a life of their own, transcending everything, this is one of them.

 
4. Swallowed by Bush
I was never a huge Bush fan as they were just a grunge clone but I really liked this first single from their second album, Razorblade Suitcase.
5. The Night by Morphine
Posthumously released music is always eerie and often sad, this song is no different. A cool Boston band with a singer who once got stabbed in the chest while driving his cab but he didn't die then.
6. I'm A man by The Spencer Davis Group
Groovy British teenagers singing about being a man, brilliant.
7. Everlong by Foo Fighters
One of my ten favorite love songs . . . EVER!
8. Territorial Pissings by Nirvana
When people say Nirvana was punk I guess this is what they were talking about.
9. Rabbit by Lemonheads
Catchy punk songs about wanting to shag. Awesome!
10.Egg Man by The Beastie Boys
This is the rap reworking of their old ass song, Egg Raid on Mojo. It's on the album, Paul's Boutique which critics have a major chubby for but didn't sell as well as License To Ill.
11.You Should Be Dancing by Bee Gees
You want to know about disco? This is a good place to start. It's not as goofball as some of the genre but it definitely fits. 

 
12.Push It by Garbage
"Make the beats go harder" Shirley sounds great on this track. Once Garbage was a band that mattered but then they began to suck it.
13.Natural One by Folk Implosion
Creepiness comes in all forms including this song off The Kids soundtrack.
14.Sleep Now In The Fire by Rage Against The Machine
Maybe they stopped being the only band that mattered by this point but it was the my favorite song off, The Battle for Los Angeles
15.Just by Radiohead
You Do it to yourself
16.Wonderwall by Oasis
Greatness of pop is right here.
17. She Bangs The Drum by Stone Roses
NME said The Stone Roses debut album was the best album ever, maybe they exaggerate but it is a beautiful collection of songs.

 
18.Words by the Monkees
I'm sure if I was in my twenties in the sixties I would have hated these guys but seeing as I wasn't even born then so I guess that's why I like them.
19.Double Talkin' Jive by Guns N' Roses
Izzy Stradlin' sang this one about the bands early days.
20.Bedtime Story by Madonna
Björk wrote this, can't you tell?

 
21.The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson
This is the song that put him over the top and not just a one hit wonder with a cover as his most known song. Industrial and crazy Marilyn Manson sings about being angry even though it's not real, nothing he did was.
