May 26, 2008Part I of my Buzznet mixtape
Here's a link to my mixtape that I made for whatever exchange Boz et al are doing. It's only Part I---I was going through songs alphabetically and stopped early, so stay tuned for a Part II. I've been thinking about doing something like this for when I move to Idaho. Like a really lame on-demand radio station. Anyway, these are all songs that I am psyched to hear if they come up on my shuffle on my Creative Zen. I turn these up to 11.
1. AC Newman-Miracle Drug. Frontman for The New Pornographers. 2. AA Bondy-Mightiest of Guns. I could listen to him sing anything. Acoustic with great lyrics. 3. Antony & The Johnsons- The Cripple and the Starfish. I love his voice, you might not. It may be an acquired taste. 4. Atlanta Rhythm Section- So Into You. How can you not want to get busy with this on?? 5. Augie March- One Crowded Hour. Okay, seriously. You must listen to this one. 6. Black 47- Funky Ceili (Bridie's Song). Celtic rock band from New York. Apparently this one was on high rotation on MTV for a while, but I don't watch TV so cut me a break. 7. Bob Dylan- Mississippi. My favorite Dylan song to sing along to. 8. Bobby Bare- Don't Think Twice. Whatever era he fits into, I pretend I live there sometimes. 9. Britt Daniel- Bring it On Home (Sam Cooke cover). A great cover of a great song. Britt Daniel of Spoon (had to get some Portland flavor in). 10. Clem Snide- Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Your Grievances. A sweet cover of a Daniel Johnston song. 11. Easy Star All-Stars- Karma Police (Radiohead cover). This reggae band covers Pink Floyd, Radiohead etc. I like. 12. Elvis Perkins- While You Were Sleeping. Son of Anthony Perkins from Psycho! He can really sing. 13. Fleetwood Mac- What Makes You Think You're the One. My feelings on Fleetwood Mac are mixed but this one gets to me. 14. Four Year Bender- New Orleans Lament. I like everything I've heard from these guys. 15. Gipsy Kings- Aven, Aven. Opening track from their album Roots. Who doesn't love the Gipsy Kings?! 16. Horse Feathers- Hardwood Pews. Another local Portland band. I heart these guys big time. 3-piece band. 17. Hot Chip- Sexual Healing (Remix). Another Get Busy song. Turn it up! 18. Iron & Wine- The Devil Never Sleeps. Everybody bitching, “There’s nothing on the radio" 19. Jim James & Calexico- Goin to Acapulco. Wish I was going... 20. Josh Ritter- Bandits. I like this one and it makes me laugh--double bonus. 21. Kanye West- School Spirit. I am pretty ambivalent about Kanye, except for this one. 22. Soulsavers-Revival. I was listening this on the way to take the GRE. I think studying would have helped more. 23. The Eels- It's a Motherfucker. For when you have to say goodbye.
