Weekly Mix Tape Pt 16

This mix takes shape and is full of good songs and a few horrible ones. Oh yeah, enjoy


1. Highwaystar by Deep Purple

If you don't like driving to song . . . Fuck You!
2. Speed by Atari Teenage Riot
defined German industrial hardcore
3. Let Forever be by The Chemical Brothers
Featuring Noel Gallagher of Oasis
4. Citysong by Luscious Jackson
More NYC danceable rock
5. Elevation by U2
Another sucky U2 song from the "All That You Can't Leave Behind" Album
6. Locked Out by Crowded House
This what rock from New Zealand sounds like
7. Idioteque by Radiohead
The title of this song enforces the belief that this band is full of themselves
8. Sonnet by The Verve
Sweet and tender Brit pop
9. Butterfly by Crazy Town
This singer of this band can now be found on Celebrity Rehab
10.Empty Skies by Kosheen
This band should be from Germany but they're from Bristol England
11.Simple Kind Of Life by No Doubt
No Doubt's sell out album
12.Love For Sale by Fine Young Cannibals
A lovely rendition of the Cole Porter song
13.Oh My God by Guns N' Roses
This is all we got from Axl between "Sympathy For The Devil" in 1994 and Chinese Democracy in 2008; it doesn't suck as badly as either of those items
14.Stupid Girl by Garbage
The song that broke the band to the masses and put Shirley Manson in short dresses for good
15.I Am Stretched On Your Grave by Sinead O'Connor
Baldy sings a poem written in the 1600s . . . good for her. This melody is actually quite hypnotic
16.When Worlds Collide by Powerman 5000
Rob Zombie's little brother belts out like a dog some Industrial Metal
17.Viva Las Vegas by Elvis Presley
What else Could you ask for Elvis and Vegas together at last.
18. Break On Through by The Doors
The Doors first single and a great karaoke number
19.Panama by Van Halen

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
