Weekly Mix Tape Pt 30

Number 30! It's pretty main stream and if you listen to music from Jamaica then it's all mainstream. This mix is damn good and if you don't like it well you can go read somebody else's blog about mixes, somebody who knows how to get song samples or the whole song to play when you click on it, a blog with more pictures, a blog that thrills! One thing keeps bugging me though as I look over these tunes, is the song order the best it could be? If you think no, suggest something better, please.

enjoy!

1. Ballroom Blitz by Sweet
This song is manic glam!
2. Finding Out True Love Is Blind by Louis The XIV
This one is modern glam, I always thought the video should have been a dude pushing a mail cart through an office with all the girls he talks about the other workers. The chorus is sung by the other dudes in the shitty, confining mail room. During the bridge our mail boy will go into fantasy.
3. Are You Gonna' be My Girl by Jet
This song stinks; it's Lust For Life rip off
4. Here She Comes Now by Nirvana
This is a demo and still sounds pretty damn awesome!
5. I'm Still In Love With You by Sean Paul feat. Sasha
Why do I love this song?
6. Stepping Razor by Peter Tosh
Fierce song about being a bad ass. From the film, Rockers which was the other Raggae movie that wasn't The Harder They Come.
7. How I Could Just Kill A Man by Rage Against The Machine
Great cover of Cypress Hill, maybe better than the original.
8. Kids In America by Kim Wilde
This song is so synthtacular the 80s couldn't let it go. In the video Kim was apparently so nervous she looked like she was trying to be seductive. (I read that someplace)
9. Get Ur Freak On by Missy Elliott
Changing the way we talk about sex and a really weird sounding rap song when you get down to it. Very innovative. I believe the video was directed by Hype
10.Still OF The Night by Whitesnake
80s Heavy Metal was rarely more epic; if you don't like this song it's only because you can't handle it.
11.Boyz-N-The-Hood by Dynamite Hack
One of the best covers ever? No, just one of the funniest. The video is perfect.
12.P.I.M.P. by 50 Cent
Steel drums in rap might not be popular but damn does it works here. Not that 50 Cent cares what I say about him but I think this is best track.
13.Mr. Brightside by The Killers
Eric Roberts has seen better days and that unfortunately is what everybody thinks of when this song plays. It was also a sign that band's name, The Killers was a misnomer . . . or ironic . . . or just dumb.
14.I Believe In You by Kylie Minogue
More disco magic from the future. If Kylie Minogue believes in you things can't be all bad.
15.Hysteria by Muse
I swear the guitars in the beginning of this song make me think it's all about to explode and then the drums come in and take care of that.
16.Hey Ya! by Outkast
Was this the best song of year? It has hand claps, sexy/dirty lyrics and a beat that a friend insists is hooked into girl's heads.
17.Touch Me I'm Sick by Mudhoney
Named after A Russ Meyer movie, this was Seattle in 1988, this was grunge before it got labeled as such, this is the genesis of Citizen Dick.
18.Isrealites by Desmond Dekker
I first heard this song in the movie, Drugstore Cowboy so it's what I think about when this song plays . . . wow, two Matt Dillon references in a row, WTF!
19.Jealous Guy by Roxy Music
For about two months in 2004 I listened to this song everyday, don't know why
20.Beautiful Girls by Van Halen
Nothing says summer like van Halen from the 70s!

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 28

This is mix that I like, there's a synth portion of this one that is super sexy. That portion starts at the danceable silliness of Starry Eyed Surprise and travels through an 80s futuristic fantasy of Emerge. Some big songs come through here with Seven Nation Army, Crazy In Love, Do You Realize.

1. All My Life by Foo Fighters

Bringing their Rock Back after a little while of sucking ass. This is definitely my second favorite Foo Fighter's song after Everlong.

2. This Fire by Franz Ferdinand

Introducing Franz Ferdinand, Welsh or Scottish, it don't matter

3. Starry Eyed Surprise by Paul Oakenfold

The singer from Crazy Town lends his mediocre vocals to this piece

4. Cars by Gary Newman

So Detached, so robotic and sexy

5. Can't Get you Out Of My head by Kylie Minogue

So Detached, so robotic and sexy

6. (Keep Feeling) Fascination by Human League

Another song that takes us to androgynous keyboard happiness

7. Emerge by Fischerspooner

Paying tribute to techno and performance art

8. Crazy In Love by Beyoncé Feat. Jay-Z

The world hasn't recovered from this song yet

9. Seven Nation Army by White Stripes

Such a simple song, so powerful but that's the blues, right?

10.Slither by Velvet Revolver

Hello modern rock. Weiland, Slash, Duff and Matt Sorum get their big guns out and rock for one of 2004's best songs

11.Caught By The Fuzz by Supergrass

Revisiting a Britpop band that isn't Blur or Oasis.

12.Big Brat by Phantom Planet

I think this is their only good song

13.Do You Realize?? by The Flaming Lips

Sometimes this song can make me shed a tear and sometimes it annoys

14.Roll Out (My Business) by Ludacris

Luda brings his huge head and unique rap style to the world via Atlanta

15.PDA by Interpol

Let's all welcome one of New York City's best bands of the past decade

16.River Deep - Mountain High by Tina Turner

Good God this song is balls out awesome. Phil Spector doing his thing on production

17.Smooth Up In Ya by Bulletboys

One of the 80s best examples of L.A. metal that didn't totally suck ass.

18.The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash

Revelations, my friends, Revelations. This song was used in a Zombie movie, Day of the Dead I think

19.Fuel My Fire by The Prodigy

Who would have thunk L7 would get covered by a British techno band.
