Frankenmix 18.5 (Mini-Mix)
I have a new project. It could only be 1000 words. Or like 10,000, who knows. Let's celebrate with some tunes shall well?
Frankenmix 18.5 (Mini-Mix) (<-- are you happy now, them0rgue?)
The Spin-That-Motherfucker Mix
1. A song of fire - Kylie Minogue // Red Blooded Woman -- This was supposed to be Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire' but apparently said song has deleted itself from my harddrive, so you get Kylie. I know, slight disparity, but is there anybody more on fire than a woman that's determined to get laid? No, I think not.
2. A song for never rhyming with anything -- Ferraby Lionheart // The Ballad of Sam and Gus -- The first time I saw this song title I thought it said The Ballad of Shawn and Gus, which immediately made me think of Psych and I started clapping like a deranged seal, and anyway. It's for Psych, which never rhymes with anything but 'AWESOME.'
3. A song for sunshine -- Silversun Pick-Ups (Jason Bently Remix) // Lazy Eye -- Sometimes I hear a song for the first time and I get so fucking excited about it that I have to automatically send it to my friends. This is that song. This song is 'Sunday morning hangover in the garden, tea and fry-up, sun shining, squinty-eyes and slighty sore from who knows what' kind of awesome. This is the sort of song that makes you look up at the sky and smile.
4. A song for atavistic urges - Stars // Take Me to the Riot' -- I am not a Stars fan. I know a lot of people are, but while I find their song titles amusing, they've never really done anything for me aurally. Until this song. I know I love it because it reminds me of the Kaiser Chiefs 'I Predict a Riot'. It's that same sort of gut-churning, finger tingling, shifty-eyed excitement that you sometimes get when you go out. In short, it'll make you want to party. Or break something. It's all good.
5. A song for finding the horizon -- Ours // Leaves -- Jimmy Gneco is the singer for Ours. He was friends with Jeff Buckley. That's pretty much all the association I will ever need. Oh, well, it helps that he's got this kind of Jeff-derivative type voice, but not really, and I love how this song makes me think of autumn.
6. A song for three o'clock in the morning -- Calvin Harris // Acceptable in the 80s. -- Oh, people. When I first heard Calvin Harris I thought he was a disaffected 30-something black kid, like me, but no, he's a 23 year old Scottish boy. How the fuck can he even remember the 80s?!
7. A song for (pretending to be) royalty - Gomez // Royalty - This song is about Ian Ball's love for Elvis Presley. He thinks the Beatles are shit. That's blasphemy, but this song is hilarious. The king ain't listenin' to anyone who isn't wearing leather, y'all. Take note.
8. A song for the end of the rainbow -- JET 'Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is -- I fucking love JET. To me, they are rock. Hard core, sweaty, drunken, obnoxious rock. And trust me, when I get to the end of my rainbow and see that cash I'll put it exactly where my mouth is. And I'm going to buy Adrian Pasdar from Natalie Maines I tell you. BUY HIM.
Zip file here. As usual it has two or three or 10 unlisted songs for your listening pleasure.
