Mike Church - Manuel Went Down To Georgia

.....and that is how one pronounces Hawaii, not the way most people do

hey tth, have you ever had one of your mp3 posts not sound right?

i've had one, that i know of but i haven't checked them all after posting them

the weird thing was the song sounded bad from two different sites, but only after linking here, the songs sounded great on both sites were they were originally hosted, i'm thinking there might be a set up on some songs that makes them unplayable if linked without permission, i've started checking the songs in "preview post" to make sure they are okay before i post them, thought you and everyone who uses this application might like to know

No, they have sounded okay. I have only linked a few though. Thanks for the info

Oasis - Don't Go Away

coast to coast am, apparently the world is coming to an end

Last night the missus said she missed people making mix tapes. So today I've wasted a few hours putting one together. Well, not a tape, really. The digital music thing has really changed that whole process. At any rate, I'm listening to the result right now, and I've got to say I'm pretty happy with the result -- though if it was a movie it'd start with youthful energy and follow an arc to melancholy, but what you gonna do? It's February in Wisconsin, fer chrissake.

Anywho, here's what I put together.

1. Mission Impossible theme (yeah, from the TV show)

2. The Last Shadow Puppets - My Mistakes Were Made For You (spy-movie overtones in the chord progression and orchestration)

3. Thelonious Monk - Epistrophy (from the live disc "San Francisco Holiday" -- it's got a staggered polyrhythmic feeling similar to to track 1)


4. Thao - Fear and Convenience (a high-string-strum jauntiness that evokes something in the tortured Monk)

5. ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - Worlds Apart (fragment -- just the bit with the children cheering, the singer yelling "Hey **** you man!" and then the children laughing)

6. Rosemary Clooney - Tenderly (juxtaposition, man)


7. Roland Kirk - I Loves You Porgy (fragment; post-stroke Kirk playing his horn along with a music box; the actual track goes on for a couple of minutes, I cut it off after the first 32 bars)

8. Okkervil River - Lost Coastlines (again, more juxtaposition, but the jangy strings do echo the music box in track 7)

9. The Magnetic Fields - How ******* Romantic (fragment; mocking the preceding and following tracks, and the singer sounds like the second singer in track 7)


10. Love Spit Love - How Soon Is Now (this is actually the Psychedelic Furs covering the Smiths song; a subtly more muscular and edgy cover)

11. Jane's Addiction - Ain't No Right (fragment; just the beginning drums-and-bass-and-"my sex and my drugs and my rock and roll are my ******* own business" banter)

12. Prince & the Revolution - Darling Nikki (because; c'mon, it's vintage Prince)


13. Kurt Vile - Freeway

14. The Kills - Black Balloon

15. Guided By Voices - The Old Grunt


16. Jolie Holland - Mexican Blue

17. Tom Waits - Nirvana

18. Department of Eagles - Therapy Car Noise


A-yup, comes together quite nicely, I think.

Xtal - Aphex Twin

Aesop Rock, None Shall Pass

I've been listening to all my songs in alphabetical order. Getting through the Bs.

Now it's

The last song in the Bs is "Bye."

Funny, Bottle of Blues was the last song playing when I got out of the car a few minutes ago.

Wwax - Just Like

Wwax was Mac McCaughan's pre-Chunk/Superchunk combo, offering a good taste of what was to come next from Chapel Hill.

Drummer Brian Walsby also pounded sticks for a number of other bands including Patty Duke Syndrome, Polvo, Daddy and Scared Straight, but has made his biggest mark creating covers as a comic artist.

Band Members:
Brian Walsby - Drums
Mac McCaughan - Guitar
Wayne Kerr - Bass
