Weekly Mix #72

What we have here is 2010 and ll it's sloppiness. We have four artists trying to make come backs and a couple we'll never hear from again. I have tow sort of fake bands on her, weird.
Enjoy!


1. Wild Flower by The Cult
I had just seen the Cult do their Love album live plus  all their hits; it was awesome. It made me go back and feverishly listen to all their songs again and this one from Electric kept getting replayed

2. Jawbreaker by The Dead Weather
More groovy, stoner music
3.Rats In The Cellar by Aerosmith
When you hear guys in their 50s talk about Aerosmith being a very different band in the 70s this is what they're referring to.
4. Fast As I Can by Stone Temple Pilots
This was part of STP's come back album and heavily used for Baseball Tonight's highlight reel on ESPN.
5. Stay With Me by Faces
Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck have never sounded this good again. Maybe I didn't like this 40 year old song until recently but now I love it!
6. The Ghost Who Walks by Karen Elison
The former Mrs. Jack White sings for us
7. Funnel of Love by Wanda Jackson (feat. The Cramps)
She's kind of a legend and she did a song with another kind of legend The Cramps

 
8. Mr. Orange by Dengue Fever
I have no clue what she's singing about

 
9. Vietnow by Rage Against The Machine
Funky metal and a head rush; it works!
10.Here We Are Juggernaut by Coheed and Cambria
It's big and rocking but not great
11.Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap 
One his wonders can be very awesome things
12.It Never Rains In Southern California by Albert Hammond & M. Havelwood
I think Hammond is the father of one of the Strokes. This is a good song.
13.On Meloncholy Hill by Gorillaz
Plastic Beach was a let down of an album but this little number was okay
14.Murmaider by Dethklok
Not a really band but they still have some wicked numbers
15.Let Me Hear You Scream by Ozzy Osbourne
Why is still good that Ozzy puts out music? Because it's melodious hard rock that makes you pump that fist, throw u the devil horns and bang your head!

16.Fresh by Devo
Yes, Devo had a new song and it was one of my favorites of 2010. The managed to sound modern and keep that Devo sound . . . okay maybe they don't sound modern but they do sound good
17.Dare to Be Stupid by "Weird Al" Yankovic
Parody is the sincerest form of flattery. Al does Devo very well and very funny.
18.She Blinded Me with Science by Thomas Dolby
SCIENCE! This concludes the New Wave portion of the mix
19.Oildale (Leave Me Alone) by Korn
It was a good song but it just wasn't the comeback record of the year. Too long had passed since Freak On A Leash.
20.Heroin by Roky Erikson
Covering the Velvet Underground is a ballsy thing. Cult legend Roky Erikson  pulls this one off by speeding it up adding anguish and getting rid of the pretension.

21.Rocket Queen by Guns N' Roses
I've been waiting to use this song for years but there had never been the right place for it. Yes, that's real sex in the breakdown. If there's one G N' R song you can boogie down to it's this one.

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

It was exciting that this came out but at the same time it was the end of the road
