Sixpence None the Richer

Known largely for the Kiss Me single, Sixpence has had a long career full of alterna-pop goodness. Leigh Nash's vocals are heavenly and worth every penny. Their recent reunion is a godsend. A maddening artist to try and pare down to 10 songs... each full length album could have four songs (except for the self-titled, of which any of the tracks would be at home) on such a compilation an they wouldn't be out of place or a drop in quality. To make things even more complicated, Sixpence is king of various artist album exclusives, tribute album contributions, and more... many of which are excellent in their own right. But I feel like I've done a noble job here.

RIYL: The Cranberries, Eisley, good female singers

01) Love Is Blindness (In The Name of Love: U2 Tribute Compilation)
02) Within A Room Somewhere (This Beautiful Mess)
03) Don't Pass Me By (Don't Dream It's Over Single)
04) We Have Forgotten (Sixpence None the Richer)
05) Tension Is A Passing Note (Divine Discontent)
06) Disconnect (This Beautiful Mess)
07) My Dear Machine (My Dear Machine EP)
08) Melody of You (Divine Discontent)
09) Anything (Sixpence None the Richer)
10) Soul (The Fatherless & The Widow)

Let me know if one of the tracks doesn't work right. There was a kink in transferring the songs off of my ipod and I couldn't figure out which one. I tried the two most likely suspects and they both worked.

The Fiery Furnaces

Really not sure how to describe this, although I sometimes think of a more chaotic, discordant Flaming Lips when I listen to them. The female singer sings in a stream-of-conscious kind of way, but it tends to compliment the music rather than distract from.

01. Restorative Beer (Widow City)
02. Tropical-Iceland (EP)
03. A Candymaker's Knife In My Handbag (Rehearsing My Choir)
04. Borneo (Bitter Tea)
05. Straight Street (Blueberry Boat)
06. The Garfield El (Rehearsing My Choir)
07. I'm In No Mood (Bitter Tea)
08. South Is Only A Home (Gallowbird's Bark)
09. Forty-Eight Twenty-Three Twenty-Second Street (Rehearsing My Choir)
10. Automatic Husband (Widow City)

Sixpence None the Richer

This mix might be more saccharine than most people here are open to. I like them, but if I were to do a mix, it would be more skewed towards their first 3 CDs. "My Dear Machine" would have definitely made it on there though. Very Cardigans-like.

BTW....Have you ever heard The Sundays?

Perhaps, except as much as I love Sixpence, I don't really find their first three releases too appealing. Too much echo-effect on the guitars. Self-titled on is what I love. People can find it too... saccharine. I don't really care.

Charles Wright & The 103rd Street Watts Rhythm Band

AMG Wrote:

Charles Wright headed one of the great funk groups of the late '60s and early '70s, the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. Wright, who was born in Clarksdale, MS, was a singer, pianist, guitarist, and leader of the eight-member band, which had been recruited from Watts in Los Angeles. They were originally known as the Soul Runners. Bill Cosby helped get the band off the ground by giving them appearances at his gigs. They began recording for Keyman in 1967, then moved to Warner Bros. in 1969. While "Do Your Thing" and "Till You Get Enough" were Top 20 R&B hits, their finest selection was "Express Yourself," a song that expressed the urge for freedom as adroitly as the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing" had in the '60s. It has also been among the most sampled funk tracks for hip-hop and rap groups. "Your Love (Means Everything to Me)" was their final R&B hit in 1971, peaking at number nine R&B and number 12 pop. The group's best ballad, "Love Land," did better among pop fans than R&B ones, many of whom saw it as a bit soft. They continued recording for Dunhill in 1973 before disbanding. Drummer James Gadson and guitarist Al McKay, who later joined Earth, Wind & Fire, were among the instrumental corps of the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band.

1. Do Your Thing (Together)
2. Girl, Don't Let Me Down (Rhythm & Poetry)
3. Yellow Submarine (The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band)
4. Love Land (In the Jungle, Babe)
5. Spreadin' Honey (The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band)
6. Phuncky Bill (Together)
7. The Joker (In the Jungle, Babe)
8. Express Yourself (Express Yourself)
9. Respect/Satisfaction (Live at the Huanted House - May 18, 1968)
10. Try a Little Tenderness (Live at the Haunted House - May 18, 1968)

There are a lot of covers on here but prettyl much half of their recordings were covers.

Damn i was worried for a second that Gordo was going to beat me to this next one:

John P. Strohm

AMG Wrote:

John P. Strohm played in a number of indie pop projects during the '80s and '90s, from his roots in playing drums in an Bloomington, IN, punk band to guitarist in Boston's legendary Blake Babies. After their demise, Strohm went on to play guitar in a number of acts, including his own Antenna, Velo Deluxe, Hello Strangers, and even backup for Polara and the Lemonheads while on the road. Strohm released his first solo album, Caledonia, in 1996. Vestavia (a reference to the small Alabama city in which he made his home) followed three years later. Strohm took a break from music in order to focus on his studies after the album was released, graduating from University of Alabama in 2001 and earning a law degree from Samford University three years after that. He released his third studio album, Everyday Life, in 2007.

I've taken a little bit from each phase of Strohm's career starting out with one of the songs where he fronted the Blake Babies rather than Juliana Hatfield. The only album I skipped was the Velo Deluxe one which I recall liking at the time but which now seems a bit dated. I guess I'd describe him as a rootsy pop guy or a poppy roots guy. His sound is a little like Evan Dando's I guess just a hair more rootsy. I think his songwriting and the production improved as his career progress so the second half of the mix is a lot stronger than the first half but I wanted to cover his whole career.

1. Girl in A Box (Blake Babies - Sunburn)
2. Delta 88 (Antenna - Sway)
3. Love Theme (John Strohm & the Hello Strangers - Caledonia)
4. Kill the Lights (John Strohm & The Hello Strangers - Caledonia)
5. Wouldn't Want to Be Me (John P. Strohm - Vestavia)
6. Eva Braun (John P. Strohm - Vestavia)
7. In Your Dreams(John P. Strohm - Vestavia)
8. Waiting for the World to End (John P. Strohm - Everyday Life)
9. Everyday Life (John P. Strohm - Everyday Life)
10. Black Hole in My Heart (John P. Strohm - Everyday Life)

My one and only contribution has been Ice Cube... I am lacking in enough hip hop at this point to even do a single artist mix. I might could cobble together a TI/Jeezy split tenner

I was a big devo fan as a teenager so I could have killed myself trying to make the perfect mix so i opted to just pick 2 songs each from the first 5 albums and not sweat the choices too much. Whip It's overplayed so its not on here. Devo Corporate anthem had to be the opener. The rest were picked fairly quickly.

1. DEVO Corporate Anthem (Duty Now for the Future)
2. Uncontrollable Urge (Q: Are We Not Men?, A: We Are DEVO)
3. Jocko Homo (Q: Are We Not Men?, A: We Are DEVO)
4. The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise (Duty Now For the Future)
5. Girl U Want (Freedom of Choice)
6. Snowball (Freedom of Choice)
7. Beautiful World (New Traditionalists)
8. Working in A coal mine (New Traditionalists)
9. Out of Sync (Oh No It's Devo)
10. That's Good (Oh No It's Devo)

RIYL: Devolution, Mongoloids, Spuds, Radiation Suits, and um DEVO
