OK, so the "Make My Mix" experiment went horribly awry, but while casually enjoying a round of Party Shuffle on my iTunes earlier this afternoon, I stumbled onto the following potentially better mix...

1. "Drink and Drown" - The Webb Brothers
2. "Clubland" - Elvis Costello
3. "The Big Country" - Talking Heads
4. "Cells" - Teenage Fanclub
5. "Big Chief Chinese Restaurant" - Guided By Voices
6. "Sweet Payne" - The Hold Steady
7. "Your Algebra" - The Shins
8. "Everybody's Song" - Low
9. "The Chosen Few" - Destroyer
10. "Blind Me" - Eyes Adrift
11. "Una Mas Cerveza" - Texas Tornados
12. "Barrier Reef" - Old 97's
13. "Flame Thrower" - The J. Geils Band
14. "Delta" - Beulah
15. "Build Me Up" - Al Green
16. "Upside Down" - Teri Falini
17. "I Want Be Man" - Cheap Trick
18. "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday" - David Bowie

Maybe it's not perfect, but there are definitely more than a few instances in which the sequencing defies logic and works astoundingly well.

Doug Sahm? Excellent!

Not to mention Freddy Fender, Flaco Jimenez, and Augie Meyers.

So, I promised this to Billy g, as part of a trade, but I have been threatening to make something like this for almost the entire time I have been posting here and at CMJ. I guess this technically belongs in the mix thread, but as shiv will no doubt post: I'm an attention whore.

Anyone who doubts that The Stones made anything worthwhile post-Exile can feel free to PM me, no trade needed. This is at once the best/worst/most mongerous/vomit inducing mix I have ever assembled. But I truly love every song on it, and think its a pretty good representation of how good/awful they truly have been for the past 30 or so years:

One Hit (To the Body)
Saint of Me
She Was Hot
She's So Cold
Luxury
Cherry Oh Baby
Tops
Fool to Cry
Blinded by Rainbows
Slipping Away
Thru and Thru
Thief in the Night
All the Way Down
Hang Fire
Respectable
Mixed Emotions

Cotton, Rads, Yail, et al do your worst

nah.
just post 'Emotional Rescue'.

;-D

Eyes Adrift, ugh. Dottie Dawn and Julie Jewel or whatever it was called is their only tolerable tune.

Tattoo You is good, Mark. Now, after that...I'll be extraordinarily generous and say "spotty." I'm a huge Stones fan, so I'm willing to cut them such slack.

Actually, I think that album gets a bad rap. Not classic or anything, but infinitely more listenable than any post-There is Nothing Left to Lose Foo.

What's that flower you have on?

hey FT,
track #16 was a good choice if I may say so myself

SUCH a good choice, in fact, that it was actually the first track on the mix (called Openly Sub-ZZZ Grade Gar) that I made for those Obnish who attended last week's B-B-Q and beer bash. Sometimes, I even beat iTunes to the punch!

Should be submitted to wikipedia as, "definition of gar".

oatmill.

Sweeeeeeet.




Can't put my finger on it, but this record has always been on the bubble for me. Some good tracks, but somehow lacking. Like you, I too am a huge Stones fan. I've seen the Stones three times with the last being at Candlestick Park in 1981. (They blew). Saw them on Mick's B-day in 1978 and Keith had just had his 'blood' changed. (They killed). Show started with Peter Tosh who began the festivities by throwing bucket after bucket of joints in the crowd. Boy have times changed.

So, i fucked up, and I thought I was making my own thread, can you all go to the new thread>?
