Awesome....first time I ever heard "Open a Can of Human Beans" was that Andy P. mix you uploaded not too long ago. I didn't realize it was technically a Dukes track.

MORPHINE

In keeping with the 10-song limit, I had to resist the temptation to include the live version of "My Brain" from Bootleg:Detroit as the lead-off track. I thought the transition from it into the initial punch of "Honey White" would be really representative of their aesthetic. It took me way too long to put this together. There are just so many good tunes by this band. Narrowing them down to 10 was arduous.

RIYL - having a dick, Bukowski, Kerouac, the night, moody saxophone, sex, booze and pills, dive bars, good music.

in spite of me.... give me the chills. amazing.

Track. Song Title - Album

1. Honey White – Yes
2. Buena – Cure for Pain
3. I’m Free Now – Cure for Pain
4. Whisper – Yes
5. Thursday – Cure for Pain
6. Empty Box – Like Swimming
7. In Spite of Me – Cure for Pain
8. Cure for Pain – Cure for Pain
9. The Night – The Night
10. You Speak My Language – Bootleg: Detroit (originally on Yes)

ive been wanting to do one or two of these as well, but itunes is preventing me from copying songs off my disks on to the hard drive. How do you stop that (without erasing whats on my itunes)? excuse my computer illiteracy, thanks

june of 44

Jeff Mueller, one half of Rodan's dual-guitar attack, teamed up with Lungfish's Sean Meadows (who switched from bass to guitar), bassist/trumpeter Fred Erskine (a veteran of Dischord bands Hoover and the Crownhate Ruin), and drummer Doug Scharin, who'd played in the groundbreaking slowcore bands Codeine and Rex.

Following the sudden demise of Rodan, guitarist Jeff Mueller kept Louisville's math rock flame burning with his new band, June of 44. Following in the footsteps of Mueller's earlier band, as well as scene progenitors Slint, June of 44 crafted loud, dissonant, complex guitar rock as intellectual as it was forceful.

I was listening to Chips From the Chocolate Fireball yesterday. So freaking great. "Vanishing Girl" may be the best pop song that XTC ever did.

love that song...was my theme back when i moved to d/fw in '94 without knowing a soul

i know it's DJ's tenner to make, and i'm not trying to suggest anything here...but "come and go blues" has always been my favorite ABB tune. in fact it's the only ABB song i have on my iPod at the moment.

found some cool studio footage of greg doing the tune acoustic.

Yail Bloor · **Posted:** Thu Jul 31, 2008 9:26 pm

By request from discostu...

The Grateful Dead

Almost impossibly difficult tenner to do because its so hard to put anything they did in its proper context without it being too long. What i've done here is to try and cull a few studio gems with some live performances. With the exception of the closer, "He's Gone", everything is also a manageable length. I've included the album I pulled it from followed by the album's release date if its studio or the date of the performance if its live.

1. Alabama Getaway - Go To Heaven (1980)
2. Me & My Uncle - Skull and Roses (April 29, 1971)
3. Operator - American Beauty (1970)
4. Cassidy - Without A Net (October 19, 1989)
5. Dire Wolf - Workingman's Dead (1970)
6. Scarlet Begonias - From The Mars Hotel (1974)
7. Jack A Roe - Dick's Picks Vol. 13 (May 6 1981)
8. Mexicali Blues - Ace (1972)
9. U.S. Blues - One From The Vault (August 13, 1975)
10. He's Gone - Dick's Picks Vol. 5 (December 26, 1979)

I was surprised as well when I heard The Dukes got back together in '03 to record the track for an Aids comp. Man, how I wish they'd do more.

Wow. 7/10 would have made my list.

I would replace Operator with Brown Eyed Woman, Cassidy with Friend of the Devil, and either Jack a roe or Scarlet Begonias with And We Bid You Good Night or Casey Jones.

Damn good tenner - hard band to do, and I like that you do Dead songs and not covers.

Agreed, it's a helluva thing. We could do Ten Covers next, which would be the perfect time to to ten different versions 'Turn On Your Lovelight'.

Like Bloor's Dead mix, I decided to keep this lean and not put on 'Whipping Post' or 'Mountain Jam'. We could do this too for interested parties.

Over the Rhine
This Song is Grinning, Go On and Undress It

If I were being completely true to my preferences, 80% of a mix consisting of my fav Over the Rhine songs would be from Good Dog Bad Dog. But rather than put together a mix that would essentially be a sales pitch for said record, I opted to create something that captures the progression of the band and flows well. Since their inception in 1989, OTR has shifted between dreamy folk/pop, alt rock, and chilled Americana, before arriving at their most recent lounge-y endeavor, The Trumpet Child. Amidst the gradual changes in their sound, the stand out has always been Karin Bergquist's sultry vocal presence. Although they've had a couple of songs with actual distortion in the guitar (see their 1994 release, Eve), none of those tracks appear here as I've never felt they were much in their element when they tried to rock.

RIYL: see aforementioned genres, Cowboy Junkies, Hem, Innocence Mission

1. within without (from Eve)
2. whatever you say (from Films for Radio)
3. show me (from Ohio)
4. i radio heaven (from Films for Radio)
5. faithfully dangerous (from Good Dog Bad Dog)
6. everyman's daughter (from Good Dog Bad Dog)
7. spark (from Drunkard's Prayer)
8. jesus in new orleans (from Ohio)
9. nothing is innocent (from The Trumpet Child)
10. jacksie (from Patience)

Since there was no interest in Robyn Hitchcock, I thought I would do one half of my username, the eels. This was hard to do. I originally had so skim from 33 different tracks. When I got down to 18 tracks it was very hard to let any song go.

The Eels

01 3 Speed
02 Mr. E's Beautiful Blues
03 Novocaine For The Soul
04 Last Stop (This Town)
05 Tiger In My Tank
06 Rags To Rags
07 P.S. You Rock My World
08 Flower
09 Jennifer Eccles
10 Beautiful Freak
