I Need Another Beer, Man [a Carpe Brewski fanmix]
Full album art, tracklisting, and download links under the cut.
I’ve wanted to make a mix for one of Gyzym's fics for a while now because they've always brought me such joy, and the other day I was sitting in the airport and, um, this happened.
So I present to you, unsuspecting internet, a fanmix for the bros of Alpha Beta Gamma (and Raven of course, cause I love her too!) This is the closest I’ve ever come to making a crack mix, and it’s not even that cracky. It’s more of a cracky love letter. A love letter to bros.
But it is still the opposite of a classy fanmix.
I was worried at first that this mix would end up being composed of mainly repeats of past mixes together (mainly I'll Believe In Anything and A Long-Forgotten Fairytale) because when I stated this the only tracks that came to mind were "Ulysses", "Apply Some Pressure, and "A Drinking Song" but then the madness hit and I came across a dude cover of "Tik Tok" and suddenly inspiration was flying at me from every corner of my iTunes. The ridiculousness and the feelings were battling it out and my normal mixing sensibilities were going “But the feelings! The feelings!” and all the bros were going “But the beer! The beer!” and I think the bros pretty much won.
Some song choices are pretty obvious who/what they are about, others I don’t have any real excuse for (like how I decided that “The Very Sad Ballad of Brutus From No. 72” was Eyebrows’ theme song. It just is, okay?) And yes, there is a cover of Rebecca Black’s “Friday” on here in honor of Sean because, you know, he’s got his bowl and he’s got his cereal.
I have apparently have no shame.
I regret nothing…?
Well I regret some things, but hopefully not this mix.

I Need Another Beer, Man
a Carpe Brewski fanmix
1. The Lonely Island - Just 2 Guyz
Just 2 guys and we're having a good time
Having a good time, having a good time
2. Matt & Kim - Good Ol' Fashion Nightmare
Riding trains to the end of lines
Still we've got nothin’ but time
The skyline looks brighter tonight
Lets go smash out every light
Your left foot in front of right
And we yell ahh
Like a good old fashion nightmare
3. Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses
I sit and hear sentimental footsteps
Then a voice say "Hi so?
So what you got, what you got this time?
Come on, let's get high.
Come on Lexxo
What you got next-o?
Walking twenty five miles-o?
Well I'm bored
I'm bored
Come on let's get high”
4. Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele - I’m An Alcoholic
Dear, grab me a beer and sing me a song
I'll pour you some wine and I'll sing along
5. OK Go - It's Tough To Have A Crush...
Well it's tough to have a crush
When the boy doesn't feel the same way you do
6. Vampire Weekend - Campus
I pull my shirt on, walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
Then I see you, you're walking 'cross the campus
7. Flight Of The Conchords - Friends
If you trip over I'll catch you're fall
If you break my dick, I won't break you're balls
If you get drunk and vomit on me
I'll make sure you get home safely
If you cross the road and a drunk struck you
And scrape you up and reconstruct you
I'll cheer you up if you're depressed
If you get murdered I'll avenge you're death
8. Maxïmo Park - Apply Some Pressure
You magnify the way I think about myself
Before you came I rarely thought about myself
Behind your veil I found a body underneath
Inside your head were things I never thought about
You know that I would love to see you next year
I hope that I am still alive next year
What's my view?
Well how am I supposed to know?
Write a review
Well how objective can I be?
9. Art Brut - Late Sunday Evening
Late, Sunday evening
There's no way I'm gonna be sleeping
Am I feeling unwell
For what I've done, or drunk
Or for someone might tell
I'm gonna find it hard to sleep
10. The Strokes - 12:51
We could go and get 40's
Fuck goin’ to that party
11. Kaiser Chiefs - My Kind Of Guy
You're my kind of guy
Cause I like your style
And you sound as horrible as me
12. The Magnetic Fields - I Don't Want To Get Over You
And just smile all night at somebody new
Somebody not too bright
But sweet and kind
Who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
Which is just what I'd do
If I wanted to
But I don't want to get over you
13. Dropkick Murphys - Fuck You I’m Drunk
Fuck you I’m drunk
Fuck you I’m drunk
And I’m going to be drunk till the next time I’m drunk
14. The Station - Rad Bromance
When we punch knuckles
It’s like fourth of July
When you talk about your feelings
I get tears in my eye
You're so sweet
But not like that, bro
I mean sweeeeet
15. The Cribs - Mirror Kissers
You aren't allowed to say that you're better
You aren't allowed to say that
‘Cause you're the hipster type
You're the type
16. The Smiths - I Want The One I Can’t Have
I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It’s all over, all over, all over my face
17. The Divine Comedy - A Drinking Song
We'll drink beyond the boundaries of sense
We'll drink 'til we start to see lovely pink elephants
Inside our heads, inside our beds
Inside the threads of our pajama legs
So don't shoot ‘til you see the reds of our eyes
And an army of elephants marching behind
From the day I was born ‘til the night I will die
All my lovers will be pink and elephantine!
18. Bloc Party - The Prayer
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
19. Pink - Bad Influence
A good excuse to be a bad influence on you
And you and you and you and you and you
20. Larrikin Love - The Very Sad Ballad of Brutus From No. 72
He said, "Shut up! You can talk!
Look at the left side of your head!
You look like you've been in a bad experiment"
21. Air Raid Anthem - Tik Tok
Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy
Grab my glasses, I’m out the door, I’m gonna hit this city
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of jack
‘Cause when I leave for the night I ain’t coming back
22. Darren Criss - Raise Your Glass
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs
We will never be never be
Anything but loud
And nitty-gritty dirty little freaks
23. Lana Del Rey - Video Games [Demo]
Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you take it over here
And play a video game
24. Barenaked Ladies - Alcohol
Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party time necessity
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
Oh alcohol I still drink to your health
25. Mikey Chuck Rivers - Runaway
Let’s have a toast for the douchebags
Let’s have a toast for the assholes
Let’s have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
26. Alex Carpenter - Friday
Gotta have my bowl
Gotta have cereal
27. Art Brut - Home Altars Of Mexico
I've so many things left over
I don't know where they should go
It's not a mess, it's personal
Like the home altars of Mexico
It's hard just opening my bedroom door
All my memories, spread out across the floor
28. The Cribs - Martell
You should leave it to me
We cover insignificant miles for a miniature bottle
Do you know what I mean?
I don't think so
But we go for a smoke in the smoke
And I like what I see
It's a vicious cycle but who cares when it's happening to me?
It's obscene
Can't you see that?
Someone’s got their eye on you now
Don't you know?
29. Band Of Skulls - Friends
I need love
‘Cause all your love is true
I need every waking hour with you
And my friends
‘Cause they're so beautiful
Yeah, my friends
They are so beautiful
30. Matt & Kim - I'll Take Us Home
This roof could be my bed
Blankets feel like the night sky
Blankets feel better the heavier they get
Red lights can mean go
I'll take us home, I'll take us home
Cut down the blinds from my windows
I stood back on the couch
Remembered this is my life
With my hands over my head, friends by my side
