As promised, the first mixtape in a long line of weekly mixtapes.
Mixtape 1
(Requires a Rhapsody subscription)
1. California Uber Alles - The Dead Kennedys
Inclusion inspired by the Punk Rock Orchestra
2. Regress No Way - 7 Seconds
Old-skool hardcore
3. Just Like You - Weston
Every couple of years I come back to this album
4. Walking With A Ghost - The White Stripes
White Stripe's cover of Tegan and Sara's song of the same title. Pitchfork prefers WS--I think they're wrong
5. Jus A Rascal - Dizzee Rascal
Explosive track by this cockney-laden rap artist
6. Be My Head - The Flaming Lips
I espcially like the subtle use of echo on the vocals
7. Grey Ice Water - Sun Kil Moon
Mark Kozelek's slowed-down version of this Modest Mouse song illuminates the genius of Issac Brock's songwriting
8. At Least That's What You Said - Wilco
Live version of the best song from Wilco's last album
9. Pictures Of Matchstick Men - Status Quo
Timeless dreamy psych-pop from the 60's
10. Sliver (Solo Acoustic Demo) - Nirvana
The only version available on Rhapsody of this great Nirvana track
11. Lisa Says - Velvet Underground
Live version outshines the original
12. Soma - Smashing Pumpkins
Just in case you forgot about this album...
