Whoever's got some Whisky Biscuit should also put up links to their albums. Mang, those things have been hard to find.

and someone had to do this one...

2. Pirate Love
3. Do You Love Me?
4. Leave Me Alone
5. Great Big Kiss

8. Tie Me Up
9. Little Bit Of Whore
10. I Only Wrote This Song For You



RIYL: everything that's good about being bad

Like the Wildhearts, this one should really be offered by Diggity Dawg. Also like the Wildhearts, there's probably not that many Obners who are gonna like this - it's high energy, extremely melodic rock 'n' roll with a punk energy and a pro-tools sheen. The debut still ranks in my top 10 of this decade.

TSAR



1. Calling All Destroyers
2. I Don't Wanna Break Up
3. Silver Shifter

RIYL: pretty much answered above

More on the country side:

I don't have her last CD, which I think was more spiritual than country, so I included a couple of duets with John Prine:

1. Sweet is the Melody
2. Mama's Opry
3. We Could (with John Prine)
4. Our Town
5. The Shores of Jordan
6. I'll Take My Sorrow Straight

8. The Way I Should
9. (We're Not) The Jet Set (with John Prine)
10. Childhood Memories

w00t

Definitely do Emmylou. I was considering it, but always backed off when I realized I only have a handful of her albums. So please, for the love of Jesus, do it.

Also, to whoever did that Gomez mix, THANKS. Another one I wanted to do based on my love of How We Operate, but I only have one other album from them.

Anyone wanna do The Melvins??

people - just buy all their albums

Thanks. I've had some tracks like "Clarksville" on itunes for awhile but some of these I haven't heard in years.

This is what all music should sound like.

I would if I thought I could do them justice.

System of a Down

Those unfamiliar with System of a Down likely have this image in their head of a Slipknot-esque nu-metal band. After all, there was a phase where they dominated the covers of magazines like Circus and its ilk. Yet their popularity has always been a mystery to me... not because I don't like them (far from it), but because they are simply too weird to be popular in the mainstream. And yet somehow they managed to be themselves and yet be popular. More power to them. They have some of the biggest pay-off choruses known to hard rock, which is wrapped by some crazy-ass weirdness-cum-numetal. It is an odd mix, and one which is so unique that few have even tried mimicking it, let alone succeeding (Japanese band Maximum the Hormone comes the closest that I've heard).

Sorry about the huge picture, but it was the best I could find.

09. Mr. Jack (Steal This Album!)
10. Lonely Day (Hypnotize)

...This is probably single-handedly the mix I'm most proud of so far.

Mouse on Mars



Mouse on Mars is maybe the greatest "electronic" group ever (sorry Kraftwerk). Their music is fun and often danceable, but it doesn't conform to the rigid repetitive structures of most electronic dance music. They also handle slow, prettier numbers masterfully. They aren't what I'd consider ambient music, but a lot of their stuff can be pleasant in the background or calming and meditative. They can also be fierce and abrasive, like on their most recent album. There's a dubby reggae influence in most of their music from the '90s, and this decade has shown them exploring all sorts of unique and interesting areas. Since adding their drummer in 2001, they perform like a band and put on one the most fun shows I've ever been to.

This mix kicks off with a collaboration with Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab (kinda linking it with my previous mix) on a slower, kind of dreamy song. Then on "Tamagnocchi" they get in a Krautrock groove which now sounds to me a lot like what Fujiya & Miyagi did nearly 10 years later. "Yippie" is ska on some kind of speed/mushroom combo, somehwat familiar sounds played on unidentifiable "instruments", a signature of Mouse on Mars. "Gocard" is the oldest and possibly best track on this mix, beautifully warm and showcasing their reggae influence. I don't know if the bass on this mp3 of "Shamp Hare Rama" is quite as deep and powerful as it is on the vinyl EP I have, but it's still a really fun track. "Untitled States Of" is probably my favorite they've done this decade, really perfecting their take on dance music with a great melody and their usual rich textures. The next two tracks don't have my full endorsement quite like the rest of this mix, but they provide a sampling of their most recent work. "Wipe that Sound" is their most conventional attempt at pop (but still pretty weird), and Düül is probably the heaviest, noisiest track they've ever recorded. (Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma did supposedly meet at a death metal concert, after all.) "Catching Butterflies with Hands" is one of their more psychedelic compositions, and closing out the mix is another strongly reggae/dub-influenced track, this one deeper and more immersive.

Thought I'd contribute to this mix project, hope someone likes these selections. I tried to stay away from the more popular tunes that most people were familiar with but also attempted to make an adequate cross section of the band throughout the years, cherry picking my absolute favorites.

Enjoy.

I clearly have too much time on my hands
