Weekly mix #66

This is a 2009 mix with several songs that I never listen to but wanted to represent represent on a modern mix. Sometimes I think that I have to put more emphases on modern, current tunes than better ones in  fear that I may become an old fart. Maybe I just need to dig more deeply into the unknown . . .

1. C'mon Let's Go by Girlschool
I guess women are allowed to be tuff too.
2. Dirty little Rockstar by The Cult

Still making jams after all this time, adjusting to the times well enough.

3. That's My Tune by Morningwood

Some songs drone and drone well, this is one of them

4. My Own Worst Enemy by Lit
This song just gets funnier as the years pass
 5. Porno Star by Buckcherry
Josh and the boys are not subtle by any means. They are a band who needs a scene.
6. My Way by Miss Crazy
A band that wanted the 80s back in all their glam metalness. Sorry guys, you missed the boat.
7. Primary Colours by The Horrors
It's a sweeping  song from band that used to be anything but. It reminds me of 80s music I never heard.
8. Petition The Lord With Prayor by The Doors
You Cannot petition the lord with prayer!
9. United States of Eurasia/Collateral Damage by Muse
Showing their love for Queen and Radiohead full on!
10.Beach Town by Le Loup
It's kind of etherial and kind of hypnotic but mostly it's not much of anything you'd have an urge to hear
11.Fine For Now by Grizzly Bear
Only slightly more friendly than the last song, this tune has some nice harmonies but mainly makes you turn into a drip.
12.Every Rose Has It's Thorn by Poison
There's something about a huge hit ballad that can make unknown indie rock seem totally lame
13.Art isn't Real (City Of Sin) by Deer Tick
Sometimes one discovers a little indie song that is remarkably good and you wonder why nobody else knows about it. I found this song on a Penguin music sampler.
14.Everymorning by Sugar Ray
I liked them better when they just wanted to fly.
15.T.N.T by AC/DC

Yup, snap out of it we're blowing shit up with the greatest thing ever to come out of Australia.

16.Cryin' by Aerosmith
I'm getting soft because after years of denying any like for this song I finally caved.
17.Standing Next To Me by The Last Shadow Puppets
More sixties inspired rock. I feel like I should be riding in a black cab through London , heartbroken, wondering where it all went wrong.
18.Coffin Faftory by The Mumblers
Some boys from Silicon Valley got out there organ and made some music, there should have been a movement around this but that's just me being' wishful.
19.Time Has Come Today by The Chambers Brothers
Are these guys one hit wonders? I think so. It's a good 60s song about change and all that 60s garbage.
20.Use Somebody by Kings of Lyon
This should be the end of the mix but I decided I didn't want to be a total wuss
21. You Could Be Mine by Damone
Worship the power of GN'R even if it through a cover song by a very underrated band.

Weekly Mix Tape Pt 14

That's right I'm putting forth a bonus mix because these Mixes seem week and uninspired. Maybe I'm wrong and I just can't recall why the mix was so awesome at the time. I think the real issue with this mix is the lack of current music on it for the time I made it; it sounds more like a weird rehash without any real cohesion. The songs aren't bad but . . . I don't know, I've done better. I think I hit a low point in my consumption of music and was getting into songs looked over from before. These mixes may stay this way for a while but we shall see . . . There will be another Mix on Thursday! I dunno the songs are good but the flow . . . she is weird.

1. American Woman by The Guess Who
The original is the best, none of this weird Lenny Kravitz funny business
2. Mama Kin by Guns N' Roses
This cover is actually better than the original Aerosmith version; I'm confused why I didn't put this before "Dream On"
3. Song 2 by Blur
Woo-Hoo!
4. Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
It's all so fuzzy now, this song always reminds me of hangovers
5. Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles
Look at all the lonely people, should have been followed by "The Beautiful People"
6. What I got by by Sublime
This is where we enter the California lazy section of the mix
7. Fly by Sugar Ray
This is where we exit the California lazy section of the mix
8. Electricity by Spiritualized
Critics loved Spiritualized, I hought they sounded good
9. Pizza Cutter by Letters To Cleo
Here's your Boston element
10.Get off Of My Cloud by The Rolling Stones
Groovy song by the Stones
11.Lithium by Nirvana
I recall the most normal people loving this song
12.Rollin' by Limp Bizkit
Hate it!
13.Disposable Teens by Marilyn Manson
This was Marilyn's follow up to the Dope Show
14.The Drugs Don't Work by The Verve
This song makes me sad
15.Nobody Weird Like Me by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before they were the biggest band n the land they were weird
16.Girl, You''ll Be a Woman Soon by urge Overkill
Urge Overkill . . . Was this a real band?
17.That's Entertainment by The Jam
Yes it is
18.Goldfinger by Ash
Underrated song
19.Today by Smashing Pumpkins
Billy Corgan almost killed himself instead of writing this song, would anybody have remembered who he was if he had?
20.Dream On by Aerosmith
Still haunting after all these years
