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 # 53

We start our second year of mixes with an album that leads off with Boston and ends with Detroit. There are songs from as early as 1968 and as recent as 2006. Some of the songs a re rather creepy but I think you can manage. buy the songs and listen to them!

1. Shipping Up To Boston by Dropkick Murphys

If your town has a rocking theme song it's cool but when it has several it's really awesome! People who love Boston really love it; it's territorial and heart felt.

2. Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo

This is kind of a weird song but totally cool. It's an 80s gem that could only exist in that decade.

3. California Uber Alles by Dead Kennedys

This song is relevant again because Jerry Brown is Governor of California again.

4. Power by Ice T

Before he was a main character on Law & Order Special Victims Unit, Ice T was a gangster rapper who had been known as a pimp and hustler in Los Angeles. That's entertainment!

5. Revolution by The Beatles

The boys from Liverpool rocked out a little on this one

6. Gun VS. Knife by Dan Sartain

Sounds kinda like old rock n roll but is not. Welcome Mr. Sartain

7. Molly's Chambers by Kings of Leon

Low-fi southern bull, radio filler

8. Blah Blah by Lady Sovereign

This rapper chick was part of some sort of British hip-hop movement that didn't make any waves this side of the Atlantic. She's got good flow though.

9. Got the Life by Korn

This is what Metal had become by the late 90s, funky and influenced by hip-hop, something that white music critics hated because they didn't grow up with rap and they thought music should have stopped when Kurt Cobain died.

10.Aphrodisiac by Bow Wow Wow

They did have another song besides I Want Candy. This one's just as cute and dirty.

11.Miss Freelove '69 by Hoodoo Gurus

If you remember this song you are awesome! If you've never heard of it you're like most people.

12.Bojangles by Pitbull

This is what Miami rap sounds like, not bad.

13.Typical Girls by The Slits

A German girl who wanted to be Jamaican fronted this group.

14.007 (Shanty Town) by Desmond Dekker

mellow island weather that probably means something I don't understand

15.Whoreshoppin' (Shit Goddam) by Eagles of Death Metal

More mediocre, joke rock from this band that will never be heard from again

16.Natural's Not In It by Gang of Four

80s people love this band so much, I guess this is one of the reasons. This tune showed up on the Marie Antoinette soundtrack.

17.Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance

This album was supposed to be their great mega hit that brought them to everybody who was too freaked out by their gothiness. It was compared to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody so often it was an obvious PR move.

18.Harvest (Within You) by Clinic

Love these creepy guys! This song is hypnotic and droning.

19.God's Gonna Cut you Down y Johnny Cash

You have heard this song in endless car commercials and adds fro America. people like the chain gang labor sound in the beginning I guess.

20.Anything goes by Guns N' Roses

Getting back to the real rock! This song is an Axl Rose ditty that he brought to G n' R with him.

21.Those Shoes by Eagles

This song should be on, Hotel California but isn't. It's a creepy song about a girl who whores around

22.Underneath The Bunker by R.E.M.

what the hell is this short song about? I don't know.

23.Detroit Rock City by Kiss

Do you like to rock n' Roll? Well Alright!
