Wow. It was pretty easy to get on this thing.
When Gered sent me the Girls track "Lust For Life" I first thought, "What a nerve these dudes have naming a song after the classic Iggy Pop track". I mean, is it really okay for bands to cop the names of previous classic songs? I think I might write a song and call it "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". What?!? Que es un problema??
I like listening to Gered's songs a couple times by themselves and then the whole mix, to see what thoughts naturally pop up in my head. With the Girls track, I started singing "Ba Ba Ba Da" in between the verses and immediately thought of the Pavement B-side "No Tan Lines". It was either going to be a Pavement track or a Stereolab song, and Pavement one out. Stereolab will most likely find its way onto this mix though.
This mix is a slow burner so far. Usually I will start a mix off with a banger to get your head bobbing. If this mix is a gradual climb to faster BMP's, then look forward to my last song being from the Dillinger Escape Plan.

If we were supposed to be climbing in BPM, I apologize for the Best Coast's "When I'm With You". It just had this Liz Phair thing going for it, and it felt like a right response to Pavement. I felt like it would be on a college radio show following No Tan Lines, circa mid 1990s. I've got a few tracks on deck. Thanksgiving break is over, mutha sucka.
ReplyDeleteNo reason to rush broseph. I dig that Best Coast song very hard. I was thinking, "what does he think I like girl vocals and surf rock?". I have a feeling that surf rock is coming back. There are tinges of it all over "indie" radio. The next jam is kickin".
