FANMIX: the mechanics of a renaissance man (a jed bartlet mix)
so for XMAS, afrocurl asked for a West Wing mix and since, over Thanksgiving, we did a season two marathon (apparently, my aunt watches it. who knew.) and Two Cathedrals, my favorite episode, was apart of the little party. so to make a long story short, this mix came out of it.
weirdly enough, there's a little bit of everything. some billie holiday. david bowie. the rolling stones. and many more, lol. i just hope you enjoy! and afrocurl, merry really early XMAS, bb!
margot & the nuclear so and so's - on a freezing chicago street
On a freezing Chicago street we shook
Your hands were trembling from all those pills you took
And we got drunk on cheap red wine in a paper cup.
the old believers - the trouble i've met
the rolling stones - midnight rambler
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
The one that shut the kitchen door
He don't give a hoot of warning
Wrapped up in a black cat cloak.
cat power - fortunate son (creedence clearwater revival cover)
Some folks are born
Made to wave the flag;
Ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays
"Hail to the Chief,"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord.
manchester orchestra - sleeper 1972
When my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes.
His soul flew right up in the sky and I cried myself to sleep.
tom waits - christmas card from a hooker
And I still have that record
Of little anthony & the imperials
But someone stole my record player
How do you like that?
david bowie - black country rock
Some say the view is crazy
But you may adopt another point of view
So if it's much too hazy
You can leave my friend and me with fond adieu.
helios - the red truth
bob dylan - ballad of a thin man
You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you, you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard
But you don't understand
Just what you will say
When you get home.
forest city lovers - oh humility
david bowie - the man who sold the world
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago.
billie holiday - i'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through.
