Weekly Mix Tape Pt 34

With the exception of a couple songs I really enjoy this mix as there were enough current songs mixed with the classic and obscure. enjoy

1. Ch-Check it Out by Beastie Boys
Big Beginning, high energy and well known; it's a good way to start even if I'm not a fan of the song.
2. Authority Song by John Mellencamp
Back when he was a Cougar back when he wrote pop songs
3. American Idiot by green Day
This made the group explode all over again and far less annoying to parents
4. Ride by The Vines
mediocre pseudo punk from Australia
5. Photograph by Def Leppard
In 1983 this song was gigantor! The band scared me though.
6. Fall To Pieces by Velvet Revolver
The last great power ballad 20 years late. Actually this song grows on me more and more.
7. Don't Stop Believin' by Journey
Does it get and more huge than this? Does it get any more classic than this? Not at this point but this was entered here between it just being a great song and the Sopranos and Monster. It sounds different now that I almost connect it to those two things.
8. C'mon C'mon by The Von Bondies
Jack White beat the crap out of the singer for talking shit about Meg White; it worked wonders for the Von Bondies. In the rap world it's the equivalent of 50 Cent getting shot; it changed everything. Now you can hear this song on the show Rescue Me.
9. I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow
Not to be confused with MC Pee Pants' Aqua Teen Hunger Force classic, I want candy was a tune that I loved when it came out and even though I was nine years old I knew it wasn't about lollipops. You know the singer was 13 when this song hit?
10. Filthy/Gorgeous by Scissor Sisters
Liking this song doesn't make you gay
11.Move Your Feet by Junior Senior
Little straight guy, big gay guy; that's all I know about this band
12.A Girl Like You by Edwin Collins
A great one hit wonder from the 90s! It has that 80s one hit wonder vibe to it; I can't explain any better. I guess I knew Id never hear from Edwin Collins again.
13.Tattooed Love Boys by The Pretenders
The pretenders doing there thing.
14.Tipsy by J-Kwon
Prerequisite party song
15.New Song by Howard Jones
This song instantly transports me back to 1984 whe I thought rock stars all lived life like they did in their videos.
16.Hombre by M.I.A.
Future voice of 2008
17.Look What You've Done by Jet
All filler no thriller
18.Standing Outside a Broken Phonebooth With Money in My Hand by Primitive Radio Gods
I feel the same way about this song as I do about the Edwin Collins song
19.I'm Not Okay (I Promise) by My Chemical Romance
I didn't care much for this one when I first heard it, in fact I thought it was garbage but something happened, maybe it was the video that changed my mind. MCR are not punk which makes them a great pop band.
20.A Message to You Rudy by The Specials
Old School ska used for a diaper commercial, somebody's youth was sold out that day.
21.Texas by The 360's

The 360's

A song about the JFK assassination by a band from Boston.
22.Waiting On A Friend by The Rolling Stones
More classic rock that could be perceived as a song about loitering around to get a fix. I don't think Keith Richards was sober in the video.

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
4. Stupid Girl by The Rolling Stones
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!

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 23

Alright here's your listening fun for the week that will fit onto a CD if you are so inclined or a tape cassette with 45 minute sides each. The Story on this mix starts with Waiting for the man and carries through the end of the mix; it ain't hard to see what I'm getting at.

1. Cult Of Personalty by Living Colour
Great band with a limited future, what happened? They were an alternative band pre Nirvana who rocked; they should have lasted the 90s.
2. No Competition by Brassy
The singer, Muffin is John Spencer's sister
3. People That We Love by Bush
Originally called "Speed Kills" this single came from the album Golden State; it had an airplane silhouette on it. They changed the song title and removed the airplane as it was set to drop just after 9/11 2001
4. Cry by Creme & Godley
Two producers made there own song; it's a deep sound.
5. Down In It by Nine Inch Nails
Late 80s industrial gave birth to . . .
6. Burn Like Brilliant Trash (At Jackie's Funeral) by Machines of Loving Grace
early 90s industrial
7. Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go) by Garbage
This is not my favorite song about a transvestite
8. People Of The Sun by Rage Against The Machine
Rockers of the world Unite!
9. I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow by The Soggy Bottom Boys
Form O Brother, Where Art Thou?
10.Please Mr. Postman by Backbeat Band
This band was made up from dudes in Soul Asylum and Afghan Wigs; it's from the movie Backbeat
11.Our Lips Are Sealed by The Go-Go's
Started as a love letter and ended up a hit song
12.I'm Waiting For The man by The Velvet Underground
Here's where the story begins. VU, one of the coolest bands of all time.
13.Last Night by The Strokes
Let's welcome The Strokes into the mix tape anthology; they but out the best album of 2000, borrowing heavily from their New York City Rock ancestors.
14.Punk by Gorillaz
This is not punk
15.Something Else by Sid Vicious
This is not punk
16.Radio Radio by Elvis Costello
This is not punk
17.Breed by Nirvana
This is punk
18.Heroine by The 360's
One of the best unknown bands from Boston, I've been on the last car of the last train on the orange line, they ain't kiddin' around.
19.The Twelve Steps by Spiritualized
After the drugs you got to get to get clean
20.Shattered by The Rolling Stones
But then again, this is Rock n' Roll! Best song about New York Sucking!
21.Bennie And the Jets by Elton John
This song always reminds me of central park in the summer even though it was recorded in a studio in France.

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 10

This is the weekly mix and it's a weird one. There are some good songs off bad albums such as "Warped", "Ty Cobb" and Undercover of the Night". The Mix has classic rock from AC/DC, The Who and Cheap Trick and some Manchester punch from Oasis and the Stone Roses. The songs you don't know on here are G.L.O.B. and maybe U2's Mofo but the latter is U2 so it's more well known than it has any right to. I don't know what the mix is about but The Rolling Stones to the Stone Roses to Oasis row meant something I think.
enjoy!

Mix #10 from Solidpants on 8tracks.

1. Warped by Red Hot Chili Peppers
The rest of One Hot Minute was garbage but this some good shit.
2. Ty Cobb by Soundgarden
This is a strange song. It is great to listen to at the gym however or when you're beating up somebody.
3. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by AC/DC
I love me early some AC/DC. Bon Scott AC is just a little more filth covered, a little more illicit sounding. HIGH VOLTAGE!
4. Undercover of the Night by The Rolling Stones
Possible a horrible 80s Rolling Stones song but I really enjoy it. To me it's the lost good one.
5. Begging You by The Stone Roses
From the much maligned, Second Coming this was one of the stand outs of the album.
6. Supersonic by Oasis
I didn't get into their first album until I really got into their second. Supersonic is plodding but it's so good.
7. New by No Doubt
No Doubt were trying to separate themselves from the ska that made them rich and it resulted in some good little pop, rock songs. I don't recall anybody really being into them until they put out, Rock Steady a couple years later.
8. The Needle And The Damage Done by Neil Young
Stay off heroin kids
9. Magic bus by The Who
but weed and LSD are fine. When I was a kid I thought this was a kids song, i thought it was funny but then I aged and I realized what drugs were.
10.Cursed Female by Porno For Pyros
 I can never decide how I feel about this Perry Ferrel band. Were they good or just sort of okay? I like this one as it's sort of hypnotic and the subject matter is weird. A woman who dress like a man to have sex with men, is that right?
11.Paranoid by Black Sabbath
You will rock and you will bow to sabbath!
12. Peace Dog by The Cult
More rock off the American rock inspired, Electric.
13. Hard To Handle by The Black Crows
Great job covering Otis Redding.
14.I get Around by The Beach Boys
Something was changing with these guys, maybe it was drugs, maybe it was mental instability by Bryan Wilson.
15.Electric Barbarella by Duran Duran
I am a big fan of this mediocre era of Duran Duran. It's very slick and catchy.
16.MOFO by U2
U2 went disco, it was supposed to be clever but clever doesn't sell records. I think they knew they were in a shitty age of music and were trying to do something about it.
17. Super Nova by Liz Phair
I like to pretend she sang this song to me
18.G.L.O.B. by The 360's
One of my favorite Boston bands. The 360's rocked real awesome like but could never make it to the national stage.
19. Call Me by Blondie
A song about a gigolo. This was the theme to, American Gigolo. It's a rocker regardless what it's origin.  
20 I Want You To Want Me by Cheap Trick
At some point in one's classic rock education this song becomes important as you realize the power of the concert. Live at the Budokan!
