'Out Of Gas'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
"Superchunk" were originally just "Chunk" but there was already another "Chunk" in the UK.
okay even though I LOVE the word 'super' adding it to 'chunk' just makes the whole thing worse. Chunk, UK would have been a funny name though.
Great mix, Cookiepuss!
hee! Thanks!
Oh, very nice, Lisah.
ETA: I am done. (with the playlist.) All I need now is the liner notes and some album artwork. Score!
Oooh, lisah mix and liner notes. I'll have to check it out tonight, when I have the time.

New Pearl Jam tune is out, and they're playing on KROQ. World Wide Suicide. New Pearl Jam makes me stupidly happy. I love listening to Eddie Vedder scream and mumble.
I have been looking forward to the liner notes almost as much as the music, and you did not disappoint, lisah! People riffing on the music they love, yeah.
I'm so happy you included something from your band! No worries about self promotion from this corner.
In fact, I hope anyone who has a recording of themselves finds a way of including it, even if it's you singing to your child or pet.
eta: Get yourself a cookie, lisah.
Nice mix Lisa!
FTR, Jon included one of his own recordings on our last round of mixes, and it's awesome. Everytime it would come up on my iPod, I'd think "what a great song, who is this?" and it's only the mighty power of inertia that's kept me from buying some PeeWee Fist CD's from him. (Someday I will, I promise, Jon.) IOW, it's good marketing!
Thanks everybody! YAY POSITIVE FEEDBACK! That'll keep me going for WEEKS!

ooh I didn't even think of artwork...

Yes!
I only got to DL a couple of the songs before GMail went down like Spike this afternoon. When I realized that you'd chosen "I'm Ready" by Fats, I almost unchecked it from my playlist, but I noticed it was a slightly different length from the one I have -- and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was indeed an alternate cut than what I have -- in fact, it sounds live? Anyway, so very good! I can hardly wait to get more of these songs....
I have to say, "Diamonds on my Windshield" was the song I was thinking of when I suggested that category. I first heard that album on a cross-state all-night drive that I slept through most of in the back seat, and it is indelibly linked in my mind to the experience of waking up with the rain coming down and two people I barely knew wedged in the back seat alongside me, wondering how much further till the Pennsylvania state line.

It is live!

ha ha! too funny. THAT'S why I must have thought it was too perfect not to use.
Now that I've gone to the Cowbell song site, and gone through the list, I find that I have enough 'cowbell music' that I shouldn't be too worried about finding something that a) I have and b) I like enough to share with others.
Though I reserve the right to use a song with cows on it, on the theory that where there are cows there are cowbells. Somewhere.
