Weekly Mix #67

Here we go with another 2009 creation but with three songs from 1984, do yo know them off the top of your head? This whole mix is very 80s feeling.


1. Here I Go Again by White Snake

Hated this song until just a couple years agao when suddenly I decided I was David Coverdale

2. Check My Brain by Alice In Chains

The boys from Seattle are back but not with lead singer Layne Staley who overdosed on Heroin some years back. This song rocks!

3. What You Need by INXS
We're going back to the 0s when pop and rock found perfect harmony . . . another band, another dead singer.
4. Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z feat. Alicia keys

Because New York needs another anthem, a more modern one.

5. Come Together by The Beatles
This is weird song but it sure is groovy. As I made this mix this song was all over the television as the main song on some music video game.
6. Sort Of by Silversun Pickups

This is a dizzying song, frantic and almost desperate and still showing Billy Corgan that they're better at being him than he is.

7. Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) by David Bowie

One of my favorite Bowie tunes, what phase was this?

8. Uprising by Muse
This is from Muse's huge The Resistance album that spawn a lot of good music. This is not the best song on it and that's okay.
9. Make It Take It by Amanda Blank

Just a club girl and her ambitions

10.Magic Man by Heart

Try to understand, he's a magic man; he's got magic hands. One of Heart's big three, Magic Man, Crazy On You and Barracuda. Some say this song is sleazy and they're kind of right; it has a dark 1970's vibe.

11.Drive by The Cars
This song was so huge it's hard to explain, maybe it's the Mutt Lang produced synthesizers deep woosh or Benjamin Orr's vocals, maybe it was the Timothy Hutton directed video with Paulina Porizkova. Whatever it was this song represents the band at the hugest commercial point. It's not their sunniest tune but it's arguably their best.
12.Kind of a Girl by Tinted Windows

Their are some who say the Cars were a shitty synth New Wave band that never made a impact on music but just listened to songs like this by almost super group Tinted Windows. Members of Hanson, Cheap Trick and Smashing Pumpkins came together to produce this 80s inspired ear candy.

13.New Girl Now by Honeymoon Suite

Speaking of the 80s . . . Beisdes Rush and Bryan Adams this is what was going on in Canada. This is New Wave rock magic. Big drums, keyboards and echo laced vocals. Props to the video for having a Delorean!

14. For What It's Worth by Placebo

This band always makes me think of the 80s but I don't know why. This ain't no Pure Morning, showing that they aren't a single note group again. The brass in the song is a bit disarming.

15.Pretty In Pink by Psychedelic Furs

Here's more of the real deal. This I believe is the original version not the more excitable version they did for the movie.

16.Tangled Up In You by The Mumblers

This is not Bob Dylan but I suppose the song title might be an allusion to Tangled up in Blues.

17.Wake Up by The Doors

I love some of Jim Morrison's live poetry; it's very charged with lizards and sex.

18.Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam

The best song that was never on a an album. It is so mellow it makes me think of 80s beer commercials.

19.Hippy Hippy Shake by Georgia Satellites
From the movie Cocktail, this song was nothing in the gigantic shadow of Tom Cruise's star power and The Beach Boys Kokomo
20.(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You to by Weezer
Is this Weezer's most epic song? It's a big one and that's why it caps off the mix.

Weekly Mix #64

Here's another mix without reason or rhyme

enjoy

1. She's Expensive by The Virgins

This song sounds like a clash outtake and is pretty good; they never lived up to their billing as the next big thing/ the next Strokes but this tune is cool, especially the intro.

2. Sex On Fire by Kings of Leon

This song signified the Kings joining the mainstream and the end of them as an interesting indie class band.

3. Kickstart My Heart by Mötley Crüe

When I saw them a couple years ago in 2008 they opened their shows with this monster.

4. Cheap City Thrills by Alleycat Scratch

Glam metal was alive and well in 2008 as this retro gem proved. with exception to the weak solo, these guys nail the feel and sound.

5. Do it Again by Steely Dan

A band named after a pleasure implement in a William S. Burroughs novel. I was fiending to this song when I made this mix; i though it was the best song ever for about two weeks

6. Something Burning by The Stone Roses

This is one of the songs the Stone Roses had to record in secret as they were in court with their record label; it's a smooth one.

7. Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin

The queen of soul, pay your respects

8. You Can't Hurry Love by The Supremes

No you can't. Motown had some fantastic hits come from it, this would be in my top ten.

9. Girlfriend in A Coma by The Smiths

When this song came out we all laughed but all loved it.

10.Who Can Say by The Horrors

Back with a more sweeping sound, the got away from the abrasive choppiness that I loved so much. The keyboards are still pervasive.

11.Mother by Danzig

His one big hit. He channels Jim Morrison in this one.

12.Thirteen by Johnny Cash
Covering Danzig's song; it cool and more somber than ominous
13.These Times They Are A-Changin' by Bob Dylan

Folk music at it's commercial peak.

14.Pork and Beans by Weezer

A little ditty in the midst of a big chorus, they've been paying homage to the Pixies for so long now.

15.Know Your Enemy by Green Day

This was there follow up to the huge 2004 effort, American Idiot. It's not quite as great.

16.Messing With My Head by Tinted Windows

The greatest New Wave band of the new millennium. Members of Hanson, Smashing Pumpkins and Cheap Trick formed this one shot band; it's good listening and should have been used in an eighties movie about a fictional eighties band.

17.Rebel Rebel by David Bowie
Bowie doesn't do it any better than this, nor do many others. Teenagers experimenting unite!
18.Poker Face by Lady Gaga

Not only does she owe Madonna a lot but she owes Bowie a lot. This is the sort of songs androids like to kiss to.

19.Words. by Missing Persons

Oh yeah here's another group that influence the previous artist.Actually they are more influential than one might think. I don't even know if people know they're influenced by them. Is that subversive?

20.The Bitter End by Placebo

Placebo continue their sharp, stirring tunes

21.I'm A Man by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

This was recorded live at the Fillmore in San Francisco; he does a good job getting bluesy

22.That's Not My Name by The Tin Tings
I guess this is a chick anthem about wanting respect but I'm not sure.

Weekly Mix Tape 47

Happy 2011!
I wish I could tell you that all the mixes recalled would go to 11 but they're pretty much the same old song and dance. This one was from 2006, the songs are good, enjoy buying and listening to these nuggets of pop history. Songs 15-19 might make you want to dance.

1. Bad To The Bone by George Thorogood & The Destroyers

All time classic bar room song and driving song.

2. Can't Stand Me Now by The Libertines
Their songs were so sloppy but so catchy

3. Anything, Anything by Dramarama

This song always sounded like a Smiths melody to me. Anyway it's their first single.

4. Now Is the Time by Damone

Damone get lighter and prettier

5. Old School Hollywood by System of a Down

This song mentions Tony Danza; it's sad.

6. Whiplash by Motörhead

They covered Metalica and made a good sound on this one.

7. Volcano Girls by Veruca Salt

Great song but never caught on as much as their previous hit, "The Seether" did. Mtv didn't get behind it and that was that.

8. Mississippi Queen by Mountain

One of the all time dumb, 70s rockers with tons of cow bell!

9. King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown by Augustus Pablo

Dub can be a good palette cleanser for a mix tape because you can go anywhere from it.

10.World Wide Suicide by Pearl Jam

Pearl Jam's triumphant come back! This song made me think they had rediscovered how to rock but by their next album it was clearly a blip on their downward trajectory.

11. Mockingbirds by Grant Lee Buffalo
 The singer came from Stockton California.
12.Murder, Tonight In the Trailer Park by Cowboy Junkies 
This is a song I loved when it was on the radio and then forgot about it for many years. Trailer Park crime finally had it's theme.

13.Steady As She Goes by The Raconteurs

Ladies and gentlemen, Jack White has left The White Stripes but not really. They put on a great live show.

14.Pure Morning by Placebo

I hated this song until 2006 when suddenly it was huge and wonderful; it took me a nother few years to get into the band.

15.Golden Years by David Bowie

Bowie liked to get his disco soul on and so should you

16.I Love A Man In Uniform by Gang of Four

This band is lauded by critics but I'm not sure why. They rerecorded this song in the 90s with backup singers it was cool.

17.Catholic School Girls Rule by Red hot Chili Peppers

Maybe they do, I'm not really sure anybody has scientifically proven the statement. If somebody does indeed have proof of this please direct me to the article for enlightenment.

18.You Make My Dreams Come True by Hall & Oates

Ear candy from Philadelphia

19.Phenomena by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Hypnotic and howling, Karen O delivers the goods with some psychedelic bass lines.

20.Push Th' little Daisies by Ween

Maybe one of the most notorious songs of the early 90s, Ween figured out a way to drive people crazy, tell off their detractors in weird fashion and path the way for Beck. The video is an accurate time capsule of life in 1992.

21.Alone Again Or by The Damned

This song is a cover I think.

22.Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley

Buckley was over the top almost in a soul singer kind of way; he drown before he could finish another album after 1994's Grace which also includes his Leonard Cohen cover, Hallelujah

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 15

Here is your regularly scheduled weekly mix! There are a lot of power hits on this baby and there is some plot to it which is always enjoyable.

1. Zoo Station by U2
Ready to let go of the steering wheel?
2. Back In Black by AC/DC
One of the most awesome rock songs of all time.
3. Independent Women by Destiny's Child
don't hate
4. Fame by David Bowie
With John Lennon on guitar this is gem in the Bowie catalog
5. The Way I Am by Eminem
an answer to "Fame"
6. Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles
It's the Beatles
7. Don't Call Me Baby by Madison Avenue
More disco!
8. Burning Flag by Marilyn Manson
Never a big song but it's an angry rocker
9. Closer by Nine Inch Nails
The best Nine Inch Nails release? Yeah, I can accept that
10.Body Movin' by The Beastie Boys
Goof y in their old age
11.Life of Leisure by Luscious Jackson
Freinds of the Beasties
12.Pressure Drop by The Maytals
One of my favorite reggae jams
13.Punk Rock Girl by The Dead Milkmen
Funny song that should be more well known than it is
14.Punk Rock Classic by Red Hot Chili Peppers
continuing the Punk Rock theme. Gn'R takes a lump in this one for no real reason
15.Playground Love by Air
From The Virgin Suicided movie
16.Doin' Time by Sublime
this song gives me a yuk feeling
17. Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones
Is this one of the top ten rock songs ever?

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 8

IS this mix intriguing? Maybe, what was the purpose of putting two Beatles inspired bands on it with the word some form of believing in the title? This mix also contains R.E.M. at their most cryptic; I don't think Michael Stipe even remembers what the lyrics meant. A Boston shout out goes to Buffalo Tom, Letters to Cleo and Lemonheads. Yup, I like this mix quite a bit, "The Wanderer" is one of U2's and Johnny Cash's best songs. This mix is actually kind of exhausting.
Go listen for your self, I believe all songs are available for purchase on iTunes.



1. This Charming Man by The Smiths
This was the worlds introduction to one of the great British bands of the 80s. Somber, mysterious lyrics, great guitar hooks, what else does a band need?
2. I'm a Believer by The Monkees
The band that people have loved and loved to hate. True they were a manufactured group for television but the songs were really good pop.

 
3. The Only One I Know by The Charlatans (UK)
The Manchester sound or the Madchester sound found another group in these blokes. Keyboard rich that some compared to Deep Purple they even played Hush live in their early days.
4. Mr. Big Stuff by Jean Knight
Switching it up some we get funky.
5. Swan Swan H by R.E.M.
What the hell is this song about? "girl and dog he bore his cross" It's a great tune.
6. Crazy On You by Heart
Fantastic classic rock that starts off as a noodling acoustic thing but then  brings the rock in a big dramatic. Barracuda and this are my favorites by Heart. People used to say the Wilson sisters were lesbians, I don't know if that's gross or understandable.

7. Negative Creep (live) by Nirvana
Raw, noisy, abrasive,  frightening, this is my favorite Nirvana song and the live version From the Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah is so god damned insane and brash it makes the studio recording seem like a little demo from beneath the bed.
8. Sad Girl by Lemonheads
A song about a mess of a chick
9. Christine Sixteen by Kiss
This song is ridiculous but it's Kiss and there's nothing you can do about it.
10.Pumping On Your Stereo by Supergrass
 swear they're singing humping on your stereo.
11.Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie
The theme song for the album is just a classic example of Bowie's willingness to lose himself in an idea.
12.Jealousy by Liz Phair
She was huge in 1994 but then she had a kid and disappeared. Not really but if would have been better if she had.

 
13.Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin
Easily one of my top five Zep songs. There is so much power and might from the hammer of the gods! If this song doesn't get you going on some viking berserker rampage, nothing will. 
14.Taillights Fade by Buffalo Tom
It might as well be a power ballad in the anti power ballad era.
15.I Feel Love by Donna Summer
Sexy disco.

 
16.Parallel Universe by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This is about the last time I enjoyed a Chili peppers' in earnest. After this they checked their balls in and mailed it in. Congrats though, they made it to the Rock N' Roll Hall OF Fame.  Oh yeah that means so much. 
17.Slow Dog by Belly
Belly was a band that came from  Throwing Muse and was big for 1993.
18.Heroin Girl by Everclear
This song doesn't really jibe well with the rest of the bands crappy melodic sing alongs. It actually has oomph and punk notions!
19.Happy Jack by The Who
I don't care much for the Who but this song is good.

 
20.Step Back by Letters to Cleo
I thought this song was one of the best of 1994 but nobody listened to me for just reason. It's catchy but it's never been a hit.
21. Let's All Make Believe by Oasis
One of the few shining moments from Oasis' post Morning Glory days.
22. The Wanderer by U2 and Johnny Cash
Who would have thought Cash and U2 would record together? This song is a great American song despite it's weirdness. The lyrics are excellent, ironic, funny and creepy.

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 7

This is the latest in the Mix tape chapter. What can I say about this one? Life Is Sweet and White Riot both have sirens. Stop the Rock and I Try are two songs I never listen to anymore. She Sells Sanctuary is the Cult's best song. Oasis and The Beatles can go together so seamlessly it's embarrassing. Even though there are lots of hits and well known songs here I think this was a throw away mix for me, I would strip this one down and use the songs in future mixes if I things worked that way.
Just a reminder These Mixes all fit on an 80 minute CD.

1. I Try by Macy Gray

I'm not against soul and R&B. This doesn't prove anything because it was a huge pop hit. Macy was supposed to be the next big thing and while she was around for a few years she fell off the face of the charts after a couple albums.

2. She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult

Not much "alternative" music rocked like this back in the mid 80s. This is one f the all time greats of the era and genre. The psychedelic beginning that gives way to straight ahead rock is gorgeous; it seems to get better with age.

3. Gallows Pole by Led Zeppelin

This song grew on me as a lad and now I thoroughly enjoy the boys idea of American bluegrass and folk. It's one of the two poles I stay away from

4. Fashion by David Bowie

On the other end of things is Bowie. Who doesn't like Bowie? 

5. Life is Sweet by The Chemical Brothers

With help from Charlatans lead singer Tim Burgess, The Chemical brothers put out one of their best tracks. The Exit Planet Dust album was a huge change in my music appreciation. When I heard it I wanted to nothing but groove out and got to raves.

6. White Riot by The Clash

They were the only band that mattered

7. Drain You/Aneurysm (live) By Nirvana
Typically I stay away from using the same artist back to back but these two live versions are so killer together I had to do it!
9. I Am The Bullgod by Kid Rock
 He was kind of a badass back then or at least he fronted like he was. This song is great for feeling full of testosterone.
10.Another One Bites The Dust by Queen
One of the most famous bass lines in rock. One of the greatest bands ever with possibly the greatest front man of all time. We miss you Freddy.

 
11.Brick House by Commodores
Time to boogie!
12.Pump Up The Volume by M/A/R/R/S
This dance track changed my view on what type of music I listened. I heard it my freshman year of high school when I was defining myself as a rocker. Maybe if I was more obsessive I would have become a DJ after hearing this or started some weird teenage boy dance club.
13.Stop the Rock by Apollo 440
This dance number was British but it's sort of stupid and jock like now.
14.Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis
Noel Gallagher sang this track which was off the bands monstrously huge sophomore album, What's the Story Morning Glory album. Song after song after song was so enjoyable I didn't know if I was an idiot or not.

15. All You Need Is Love by The Beatles
Is this my favorite Beatles song? That's one of those questions that varies from week to week but for the sake of argument we will say yes.
16.Put Your Lights On by Santana
I am not a Santana fan, I am not an Everlast fan but these guys made a song that was one of my favorites of 1999. This is from that Santana album Supernatural that won like eight Grammys
17.Ex-Girlfriend by No Doubt
Back when Gwen had a band and wasn't some horrible pop product.
18.In Between Days by The Cure
When you talk about great bands, you must talk about the Cure. They aren't the sort of band that's in vogue but without them there's a lot that doesn't follow. This was the first Cure song I ever heard and when I did I thought it made me weird rather than cool. I should have just enjoyed it and gave the finger to everybody else.

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 6

Obviously not all mixes are created equal and this is one of the lesser ones. I would like to harvest about 60% of the songs on here and create a new mix. I guess I made this one in 1999. I hope you enjoy making attempts to listen to it.

1. Should I Stay or Should I Go by The Clash 
Amongst other things they really knew how to rock and be tough sounding even

 2. Memphis Hip Shake by The Cult
The Cult tried to be  an American band in 1987 and be more ballsy with their rock. Rick Rubin helped them jam.
3. Velvet Roof By Buffalo Tom
Not heard outside of New England, Buffalo Tom were groovy, loud band from Boston. This is my favorite rocker of theirs.

4. #1 Crush by Garbage
Is this even a song? It's as much of a song as Madonna's Justify My Love and has that same sexiness to it. You can find it on The Romeo and Juliet soundtrack.
5. Five Fathoms by Everything But The Girl
They  got into sounding like a club band after Missing was remixed by a DJ and made them a lot of money.
6. Waiting For Tonight by Jennifer Lopez
No Comment

7. Mixed Bizness by Beck
Midnight Vultures was Beck's attempt to make a dance and R&B album. Some of it worked well while other songs were just ludicrous.
8. Sex-O-Matic Venus Freak by Macy Gray
No shame sometimes makes a good song. She tells us how her man makes her behave like a porn star and it's a good thing.
9. Always on the Run by Lenny Kravitz
So god damned cool was Lenny back in the day. All the white kids wanted to be like him. Slash wrote the guitar  for this song and then played with Lenny. 

10.Got Let It Out by Oasis
Not the boys best effort but it's not in retrospect.
11.Made Of Stone by The Stone Roses
The band that was Oasis before Oasis. Only if they had toured in the States . . .
12.Verse Chorus Verse by Nirvana
The Secret track from the, No Alternative album. It's in my top ten Nirvana songs.
13.Porcelain by Moby
Moby was huge for a bout a year and this was one of the reasons why.
14.Kissing A Fool by George Michael
Smokey bars and whiskey were made for this song. This song was back when the former lead singer of Wham! was the brightest star on Mtv and his album, Faith was a genre crossing phenom.

15.Suffragette City by David Bowie
The Spiders From Mars, Ziggy Stardust, they were amazing
16.Guerilla Radio by Rage Against the Machine
I love when a band stays angry!
17.Ain't No Right by Jane's Addiction
Another example how the coolest band in the world in their prime.
18.Fire by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Classic rock exemplified in one great song by the greatest rock guitarist ever.

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 4

This weeks mix has a some moments that are directly stolen form a mix tape I made in the late 80s, see if you can figure out which part. I really like those 3 songs together.

1. Stacked Actors by Foo Fighters
A good hate song is great, especially when it's about Courtney Love
2. Ocean Size by Jane's Addiction
This was really my first introduction to Jane's Addiction and I loved them, I thought they were amazing and they scared me. Weird, sexy and kick ass!

3. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
Some people say this was the last good album Radiohead ever did and some people say this was the end to their beginning. I don't know, they have got boring.
4. Where is My Mind by Pixies
Some bands were bigger than they were, The Pixies is one of them. They influenced everybody but never got much bigger than the Alternative music scene at the time would let them. This song is great, trippy and and real cool.
5. Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses
Yes, this is one of the greatest rock songs of all time and if you can't accept that than you are just fool. It's tough sounding but sweet, the lyrics are nice but Axl's voice was so perfect in the late 80s there was nothing anybody could do about it.
6. The One I love by R.E.M.
I kinda' liked R.E.M. up until this point but when I heard this song I went nuts for them
7. Desire by U2
They took a riff from Bo Diddly and got very American
8. Then by The Charletons UK
I wasn't a big fan of these Manchester guys but suddenly they got into my veins and I really started to dig the whole scene. rock organ with a dance beat and undeniably English vocals. Yes they sound a lot like The Stone Roses but I'm okay with that.

9. Jean Genie by David Bowie
"New York's a go-go and everything tastes nice" Such groovy song.
10.Fast As You Can by Fiona Apple
Fiona isn't as creepy on this song as she was on Criminal but she's just as insane. This is a little bit of a hyper song for her and I like it.
11.Cecelia by Simon and Garfunkle
Feel good song, sort of.
12.Posthuman by Marilyn Manson
Wicked sounding rock for the future which Marilyn brought to us here.

13.March Of The Pigs by Nine Inch Nails
Crazy anger from Trent and his band. This was the first single from his huge Downward Spiral album and recorded where Sharon Tate was murdered Charles Manson's minions
14.Still The Same by Bob Seger
 Man, this song is a good song to relax and think about, especially after you rock out to Hollywood Nights.
15.Orgasm Addict by The Buzzcocks
Great band that deserved more credit than they ever got. You can here where all power pop punk bands got there influence. 

16.My Favorite Game by Cardigans
This one sounded so different from  their previous stuff and had a video not played on Mtv because it was too destructive. Nia Pierson and the boys did good with this one.

17.Sexx Laws by Beck
I thought that this would be it for beck but he did make some good tunes after this one as he entered the 21st century.
18.Private Idaho by The B-52's
Classically weird rock from Athens Georgia
19.This is Your Life by The Dust Brothers
You are not your Fucking khakis!

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 3

Here is number three! I think this is one of my favorites, please enjoy safely.

1. Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe by Whale
I think this is one of the stranger songs from Sweden to reach our fair American shores. I don't know if it's really about sex with the homeless but if it is it might be the craziest song of the era (early 90s)
2. Thunder Kiss '65 (Swinging Lovers Mix) by White Zombie
Before Rob Zombie did movies he was in this awesome band. Full of old horror movie references and clips they were a unique band. Originally this song was all guitar but KMFDM got their German hands on it and turned it into a danceable club hit.

3. The New Pollution by Beck
This was my favorite song off the Odelay album.


 
4. Cowboy by Kid Rock
This song makes me feel like a rock n' roll frat boy which isn't something I ever aspired to be but I kinda' like it. 
5. Last train To Clarksville by The Monkees
Say what you will about this prefab band, they had real good songs
6. Karma Police by Radiohead
Karma Police, arrest this man! This is what you get when you mess with us. I don't belong to the cult of Radiohead but I do enjoy some of their tunes. This is my favorite video of theirs.


 
7. She's Not There by The Cruel Sea
This cover is from a soundtrack in the 90s, can you name it?
8. Panic In Detroit by David Bowie
Once this was my favorite Bowie Song but now it is someplace in the middle
9. Still In Hollywood by Concrete Blonde
They were a band that sort of rocked for alternative music at the time but then they got weak, this song rocks and is another I hate L.A. songs

10.Panic by The Smiths
Burn down the disco! It's a sing along. If you don't like the Smiths then there's something lame about you.
11.Live forever by Oasis
Once you get past all the blah blah blah of the band you have really great music.
12.Battle Flag by Lo-Fidelity Allstars
This was a dance hit but not much else.
13.Peek-A-Boo by Siouxsie & The Banshees
This was a dance hit but much, much, much more. It's not there best song but it does get you to boogie.
14.What Do I Get by The Buzzcocks
This song was always good but then it got stuck in a car commercial and got heard more than it ever had before.
15.2 Kindsa Love by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
 The Blues Explosion was never as awesome as this song. They should have been a monster rock band like what the White Stripes became but couldn't do it.
16.Scar Tissue by Red Hot Chili Peppers
The third part of the trilogy, can you name the other two songs?
17.Jumping Someone Else's Train by The Cure
The Cure were not always what they became. Their songs weren't always about being the hurt lover.
18.It's Not Unusual (Ivo's Version) by Belly
Yeah, the Tom Jones' song covered and then remixed. I was a big fan of Belly but then they got uninspired.
19.L.A. Woman by The Doors
Great song! Epic and mysterious. Jim Morrison was an original and has been copied ever since.
