There's not a lot of modern music on this mix even for the year it was made in 2005 but there is a lot of British music.
enjoy the exploration
1. Epic by Faith No More
Before the word "Epic" became synonymous with annoying exaggeration this song was nnown for wacked out it's video, this was one of the first rap/rock bands to make a splash in the mainstream.
2. Nuthin' But A "G" Thang by Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg
Classic rap from a man who is becoming the Axl Rose of the hip hop world; it's been 17 years since this album came out.
3. Higher Ground by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This was the bands MTV breakthrough from 1989. Stevie Wonder's original never dreamed of big drums like these.
4. My Friend Goo by Sonic Youth
What is this song about? Some say it's a bout a the dumb poser girls who go to rock shows and some say it's about a bitter slut.
5. Boogie Shoes by K.C. & The Sunshine Band
Having just bought the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack used and cheap I began to revisit an album I listened to all the time when I was 5 years old; it still sounds good.
6. You Can Get It If you Really Want by Jimmy Cliff
Music from the 1972 film, The Harder They Come. I've never seen it.
7. Jive Talkin' by Bee Gees
This is one of the rare disco era Bee Gees that's more groovy than over the top disco; it;s also from Saturday Night Fever
8. No Wow by The Kills
Every song the Kills do sounds just like this. Alison Mosshart went on to be in The Dead Weather with Jack White.
9. Blue Orchid by The White Stripes
And speak of the devil, Jack White appears with his first band. Listening to the vocals I often wonder if this song is a joke. For the record this mix was made years before the Dead Weather existed which goes to prove that there is a cosmic unconsciousness.
10.Molly's Lips by Nirvana
Catchy, catchy, catchy grunge pop, change the music and it could be a song from the 60s
11.Sign Your Name by Terence Trent D'Arby
The ballad that followed the hit Wishing Well, Mr. D'Arby proves he has a heart.
12.Like Glue by Sean Paul
He will not play number two and that's all I can understand in this dance hall song.
13.We 'A' Rockers by Inner Circle
Continuing our Jamaican music we have the theme to Rockers a movie I Know I saw in the theater in 1978 because people tell me I have. Rockers is the other reggae movie.
14.Alright by Supergrass
This band was third part of the Brit pop invasion of the mid 90s following Blur and Oasis
15.Main Offender by The Hives
More rock from the land of Thor and Odin. I wonder if these guys got beat up by the death metal guys?
16.Weirdo by The Charletons
Manchester, so much to answer for. This is from the sophomore album by the band that were second only to the Stone Roses . . . and maybe the Happy Mondays in that rock sub genre. The Charlatans however made more records than all of them with a much longer career.
17.Lost In The Plot by The Dears
This song wants to be a Smith's song so bad. Canadian rock sometimes comes through but . . .
18.I Started Something I Couldn't Finish by The Smiths
there's nothing quite like the real thing. Off the bands final album, Morrissey croons the line, "Typical Me, Typical Me, Typical Me", it's funny.
19.There She Goes by The La's
This song was bigger than the band and that's why they never put out another album. I can think of at least two covers of this song but the original is still the best. I saw The La's play a free show at the Hatch Shell in Boston in 1991.
20.Porcupine by Mary's Danish
Grunge era rock that wasn't grunge but still encapsulated the early 90s angst and "irony".
21.Missing by Beck
Kind of a trippy Latin number but not quite; it's a weird one
22.Vasoline by Stone Temple Pilots
This song is better in retrospect than it was at the time, like most of STP. I mean that in a good way. When Velvet Revolver performed this song it rocked a bit harder than this which is awesome!
23.Rat Velvet by Lemonheads
Boston Punk from the mid 80s
24.Moonlight Drive by The Doors
A dark song and a pretty song that ends our mix smooth.

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 30
Number 30! It's pretty main stream and if you listen to music from Jamaica then it's all mainstream. This mix is damn good and if you don't like it well you can go read somebody else's blog about mixes, somebody who knows how to get song samples or the whole song to play when you click on it, a blog with more pictures, a blog that thrills! One thing keeps bugging me though as I look over these tunes, is the song order the best it could be? If you think no, suggest something better, please.
Click on song titles for videos
enjoy!
1. Ballroom Blitz by Sweet
This song is manic glam!
2. Finding Out True Love Is Blind by Louis The XIV
This one is modern glam, I always thought the video should have been a dude pushing a mail cart through an office with all the girls he talks about the other workers. The chorus is sung by the other dudes in the shitty, confining mail room. During the bridge our mail boy will go into fantasy.
3. Are You Gonna' be My Girl by Jet
This song stinks; it's Lust For Life rip off
4. Here She Comes Now by Nirvana
This is a demo and still sounds pretty damn awesome!
5. I'm Still In Love With You by Sean Paul feat. Sasha
Why do I love this song?
6. Stepping Razor by Peter Tosh
Fierce song about being a bad ass. From the film, Rockers which was the other Raggae movie that wasn't The Harder They Come.
7. How I Could Just Kill A Man by Rage Against The Machine
Great cover of Cypress Hill, maybe better than the original.
8. Kids In America by Kim Wilde
This song is so synthtacular the 80s couldn't let it go. In the video Kim was apparently so nervous she looked like she was trying to be seductive. (I read that someplace)
9. Get Ur Freak On by Missy Elliott
Changing the way we talk about sex and a really weird sounding rap song when you get down to it. Very innovative. I believe the video was directed by Hype
10.Still OF The Night by Whitesnake
80s Heavy Metal was rarely more epic; if you don't like this song it's only because you can't handle it.
11.Boyz-N-The-Hood by Dynamite Hack
One of the best covers ever? No, just one of the funniest. The video is perfect.
12.P.I.M.P. by 50 Cent
Steel drums in rap might not be popular but damn does it works here. Not that 50 Cent cares what I say about him but I think this is best track.
13.Mr. Brightside by The Killers
Eric Roberts has seen better days and that unfortunately is what everybody thinks of when this song plays. It was also a sign that band's name, The Killers was a misnomer . . . or ironic . . . or just dumb.
14.I Believe In You by Kylie Minogue
More disco magic from the future. If Kylie Minogue believes in you things can't be all bad.
15.Hysteria by Muse
I swear the guitars in the beginning of this song make me think it's all about to explode and then the drums come in and take care of that.
16.Hey Ya! by Outkast
Was this the best song of year? It has hand claps, sexy/dirty lyrics and a beat that a friend insists is hooked into girl's heads.
17.Touch Me I'm Sick by Mudhoney
Named after A Russ Meyer movie, this was Seattle in 1988, this was grunge before it got labeled as such, this is the genesis of Citizen Dick.
18.Isrealites by Desmond Dekker
I first heard this song in the movie, Drugstore Cowboy so it's what I think about when this song plays . . . wow, two Matt Dillon references in a row, WTF!
19.Jealous Guy by Roxy Music
For about two months in 2004 I listened to this song everyday, don't know why
20.Beautiful Girls by Van Halen
Nothing says summer like van Halen from the 70s!

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 29
I think Imade this mix in 2004 and I think it's pretty good though the reggae part of the mix isn't really reggae and the synth portions were all inspired by Grand Theft Auto: Miami
1. United States Of Whatever by Liam Lynch
One of the most stupid and awesome songs ever; it is a joke but at the same time encapsulates what American punk is all about.
2.Harder To Breathe by Maroon 5
Did I ever like this song? Not so sure but I do know that the band says they didn't want to put this song on their album; it apparently wasn't wussy enough.
3. Who Do you Love by George Thorogood & The Delaware Destroyers
Lonesome George took Bo Diddley's signature song and made his own, you can hear it in Sam Adams beer commercials if you're not familiar with the tune.
4. Songbird by Oasis
Post What's The Story Morning Glory isn't all bad.
5. Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones
Whatever
6. Ramones by Motörhead
Lemmy must've really liked the Ramones to cover their theme song
7. California by Wax
A song about Los Angeles sucking: "smog isn't blue, someone should have warned you". This song's video also contributed to one of the Greatest Beavis and Butthead moments of all time
8. Take My Breath Away by Berlin
I don't care; it's a delightfully sweeping good example of 80s synth rock. Though I'd rather think about it's use in the scene from Ocean's 11 than Tom Cruise total gaysploitation film, Top Gun.
9. Time Is Running Out by Muse
Ladies and gentlemen, Muse, 1 part Queen and 1 part Radiohead. I didn't really listen to this song or get it until I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on an L.A. freeway.
10.Sunglasses At Night by Corey Hart
Don't mess with the man in Shades, oh no! Corey had bigger hits but his first is still the best.
11.Somebody Told Me by The Killers
I have no idea what this song is about and that's probably why I liked it.
12.Stay Up Late by Talking Heads
It's strange that really don't care for the Talking Heads and yet I like some of their songs
13.Gimme Some More by Busta Rhymes
Anything Bbusta wants, Busta gets.
14.Lapdance by N.E.R.D.
It is agreed that Hookers and Politicians sound the same to me as well
15.Two Tribes by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Gayest band in history? You be the judge
16.Smoke Two Joints by Sublime
Nobody was really shocked that Bradley Nowell OD'd on drugs were they? I suppose if you smoke to joints before you smoke two joints and then you smoke two more you're not going to make too many good life decisions.
17.Underneath It All by No Doubt
Underneath it all this song makes me mushy, maybe it's the Jamaican dance hall break.
18.Get Busy by Sean Paul
Jamaican, Jewish, former water polo player makes it big State side with incomprehensible dance hall big beats.
19.Naughty Girl by Beyoncé
Christian girl from Houston gets freaky
20. Jerk It Out by Caesars
So Sincere in their championing of former Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders' Mia Culpe
21.Why Don't You Find out For Yourself by Morrissey
Crooning his way through a tale about exploitation from his record company?
22.Shattered by Rock City Morgue
A Song about New York City sucking, "Go ahead, take a bight of the Big Apple, don't mind the maggots"
23. Radar Love by Golden Earring
I like to end mixes with big classic rock songs, the fact that their Dutch has nothing to with anything

00s Countdown 30-21
This is getting nervous! This is where there will be more people throwing fits and crying than before. Am I right about these songs and their placements? With out a doubt!
30. Somebody Told Me by The Killers
This Las Vegas band scored big with this key board heavy 80s throw back sound.
29. Beautiful by Christina Aguilera
"Don't look at Me", whispers the little blond during her porno phase when she was showing her bare ass to the world; it makes perfect sense to me. "Beautiful" is a song that once you hear it you can't get it out of your head and it makes you feel good about your self. They should print these lyrics and post them in jr. highs across the country.
28. Hay Baby by No Doubt
From one blond to another. This is the tale about being a chick behind stage and seeing just how disgusting boys really are while sipping tea and being bothered by fans. the best part of the song is when the dance hall bt by Bounty Hunter.
27. Time is Running Out by Muse
Relationships can be suffocating and this song illustrates this perfectly with buzzing guitar and anguished vocals.
26. Without Me by Eminem
Ladies and gentlemen the most famous white rapper of all time, Eminem. This song encapsulates the media circus his life had become after selling millions of records and giving up his privacy and any chance to raise his daughter normally. It's serious but funny but serious but an F.U. to just about everybody.
25. Get Ur Freak On by Missy Elliott
This song changed the way we refer to sex. Her videos at this point were directed By Hype! and very cutting edge.
24. Get Busy by Sean Paul
Yes! Make me dance you crazy Jamaican dance hall machine! This song takes me to another place in the world of dance music without even asking!
23. The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
So catchy! Jimmy Eat world may be worst band name on this list but the song, The Middle is like a great rock pop song from the 80's. If you're curious the video has lots of people in their underwear which pushed the popularity of the song quite a bit.
22. Tick Tick Boom by the Hives
This is the highest ranking song by Swedes on the countdown. I was sold the moment I heard this song; it's the best piece the band has put out and it rocks! Besides having a great sound the band has a great look. They are so cool!
21. Fell In Love With A Girl by The White Stripes
I don't know if this is supposed to be a Buzzcocks tribute but it might as well be. This song was our introduction to possibly the band of the decade or at the rock dude of the decade known as Jack White. He and his wife/sister formed this duet and made great sounds while wearing nothing but black ,white and black; it was a gimmick that worked.
30. Somebody Told Me by The Killers
This Las Vegas band scored big with this key board heavy 80s throw back sound.
29. Beautiful by Christina Aguilera
