Wow, here's some cluelessness (and some good stuff, too, to be fair) to remind us why politics & music are completely unrelated.
Anya ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.
I'm looking to make myself a new mix cd- something along the lines of a "Hey you nitwit, snap out of it, it's summer, so be happy" kind of mix. (I spend lots of time in the car, so I make a lot of cds.) Anyone got any songs that shouldn't be left out?
"Good Vibrations"
A few more:
- Big Star - "September Gurls"
- The Who - "Substitute"
- The Kinks - "Picture Book"
"Summer in the City"
Anyone got any songs that shouldn't be left out?
A instant happy-making song for me on any summer mix is "Acuff-Rose" by Uncle Tupelo, but it will only work if you like the alt. country fiddle thing.
I am making mixes for my b-day party and they are difficult given how little new music I have bought over the past few months. But today - I will buy the new Wilco, Ghost is Born, FINALLY. I am not expecting it to be too mixable, though.
Re: Observer list.
I saw a band last night that listed the Stone Roses as their #1 influence. That seems oddly coincidental.
Takes notes.
I don't know much about the alt. country fiddle thing, but it sounds splendid.
Songs that = summer in cars to me
Summertime - DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Fly - Sugar Ray
How Bizarre - OMC
Possum Kingdom - The Toadies
Cherish - Madonna
Wow. It turns out I am msbelle! Cherish is one of my #1 summer songs and I had forgotten all about it!
Fly - Sugar Ray
How Bizarre - OMC
These two were on the radio the summer before my senior year, and I worked at a waterpark that played them all the time. Nothing says summer more! I'd throw 'Semi-Charmed Life' in there to complete the circle.
They were on heavy rotation when I drove to LA from NM one summer. Turns out I don't listen to the radio much anymore except when in a car.
Cry Me a River - JT and Beautiful - Christina will always be linked to Ireland with me now because of this.
