Weekly Mix Tape Pt 40

This weeks mix was a 2005 creation. We start with Gn'R welcoming us to the jungle and finish with Jane's tucking us in at night. In between there is a lot of classic songs and dance music.

Enjoy 

1. Welcome To The Jungle by Guns N' Roses
This is where it all began for most Americans, this where the face of rock n' roll changed for a few years until Kirk Cobain showed up. 
2. Peace Frog by The Doors
"Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A." This line confuses everybody from L.A.
3. Entertain by Sleater-Kinney
This song is loud and crazy, maybe one of my top ten songs by an all woman or woman fronted rock band.
4. Over The Hills And Far Away by Led Zeppelin
Sometimes this is the perfect Led Zeppelin song: light, playful acoustic guitar that eventually becomes loud and crunching electric
5. Ask by The Smiths
 Another wonderful song by the Smiths that could only been written in the 80s, remember, "Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like to"
6. My Doorbell by The White Stripes
 One good ditty deserves another. Some people think this is the best song from the Get Behind Me Satan album
7. Five Feet High And Rising by Johnny Cash
Songs about floods aren't common in rock or pop but here's a good one. So good De La Soul sampled it.
8. It's A Wonderful Life by Sparklehorse
It's a wonderful song, rest in peace Mark Linkous.
9. Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz
Are your ready to dance? The Gorillaz second album was psycho trippy dance jam that was much better than it should have been
10.I Am Superman by R.E.M.
 Off the Life's Rich Pageant this was the last album R.E.M. put out before they blew up with The One I Love.
11.The God Ones by The Kills
Average and okay song but it works here
12.Technologic by Daft Punk
Because you love to boogie and you love robot voices telling you what to do.
13.Girl U Want by Devo
Were they really ahead of their time?
14.Gangsters and Thugs by Transplants
This has a good groove. Tim Armstrong's follow up band to Rancid never got huge but they had some good songs
15.Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters
There's a lot of emotion on all these songs off The Colour and The Shape.
16.Time To Waste by Alkaline Trio
 Not much to say about this one
17. Velouria by Pixies
Remember when the Pixies were the future of rock? No?
18.Processed Beats by Kasabian
Danceable rock from the U.K.
19.Under Pressure by Queen w/David Bowie
One of the great songs of all time and THIS was one of the best performances of that song but with Annie Lennox
20.Lose Control by Missy Elliot & Fat Man Scoop
There's a lot of frenetic energy in this jam
21.Classic Girl by Jane's Addiction
When you start with an L.A. band sometimes you have to finish with an L.A. band

  1. many sporty car commercials used the kasabian song and there is a car dealership called, "kasabian" in the valleys.
