Justin was having trouble with his blog account. He can comment, but not create new posts. He is going to list his tracks in the comments of this post. Loved the mix Justin, nice work.
1. A portion of "Musica poetica" by Karl Orff. Offered to clean the palate.
2. Anthrax by Gang of Four. Hope everyone loves feedback as much as I do.
3. Satisfaction (Can't Get No) by Devo. Best Cover of Stones, with this:

a close second.
4. Not Fade Away by The Rolling Stones. Fuck Buddy Holly.
5. Roadrunner by the Modern Lovers. "Going faster miles an hour"
6. Don't Break My Heart by The Dirtbombs. This song does not do this band justice. Do not pass up a chance to see them live. Style for miles:

7. Hey Sailor by the Detroit Cobras. Lead singer used to be a stripper. FYI.
8. Barfruit Blues by The Hold Steady. "Good to see you're back in bar band baby"
9. Waiting Room by Fugazi. Added to the playlist so I could link to this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBqRwmdzSQQ.
10. Modern Art by Art Brut. Not sure I chose the best track to represent this band either, but I like it nonetheless.
11. Finding out True Love is Blind by Louis XIV. If I am ever single again, I will be single like Louis XIV. "Hey chocolate girl, you're looking like something I need" And yes, I am aware this song is shit. I love it anyway.
12. No Pussy Blues by Grinderman. "Damn."
13. All of my thoughts by Spiritualized. I think this song is about heroin.
14. Mutiny in Heaven by The Birthday Party. I know this song is about heroin. This is the most awesome song ever recorded in the history of awesome. "fucking wings burst out my back/like it was cutting teeth/[insert apparent imitation of a horse whinnying]" When it calms down about a third of the way through and he sings "I get down on my knees", then the song crests again -- just perfect. Not the type of song that helps you meet ladies.

Lots of screaming when performed live.
15. Knoxville Girl by Charlie Louvin and Will Oldham. For those of you hoping for something a little less intense then the previous tracks, I offer you this gem. Just don't listen to the lyrics very closely.
16. Utopia by Yacht. Now we dance. And think about what happens when we die.
17. Drunk Girls by LCD Soundsytem. Not my favorite LCD Soundsystem song by a long shot, but short enough to be included in a mix and seemed a shame to leave him out.
18. Kids by Sleigh Bells. This chick is hot. This band is loud. Two thumbs up.
19. Section from the Album "Feed the Animals" by Girl Talk. For those unfamiliar with GirlTalk, he is a guy with a laptop that mashes up popular songs and releases the results as his own albums. Works for me.
20. Talking all that Jazz by Stetsasonic. Terrible lyrics, but great sample. "You think rap is a fad/you must be mad/cause we get respect you never had/" and "we're talented and strong and have no fear/of those who choose to judge but lack pizazz/talkin' all that jazz".
21. You Gots To chill by EPMD. "And if you're tired/Go take a nap."
22. We Had to Tear this Motherfucker Up by Ice Cube. I love that within five years of penning this little ditty in which he advocates sodemizing Timothy Wind with a broom stick and looting Foot Lockers, Cube was churning out kids movies like he was a Muppet. Regardless, this song is badass.
23. Hootin the Blues by Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Imagine this song played as the soundtrack to the video of the Rodney King beating. It's like an ultra-violent Yakety Sax.
Thanks Heff. Track list is below:

Very fun mix.
ReplyDeleteI love the commentary in the tracklist. I am stealing that.
The highlights for me are the stones, Detroit Cobras, Fugazi and Devo.
Coincidentally, I was bombarded with Sleigh Bells this weekend and I liked everything I heard.
Perhaps Ice Cube will relapse and start peppering Coors Light commercials with cop-killing profanity.
