Archaeological evidence dates domesticated dogs living with Native Americans at least 14,000 years ago. I suspect one day they’ll find evidence going back a lot further. Just a hunch. But until then, here’s to 14,000 years of friendship!

This mix has a special bonus track for dogs (or just people who like frog calls). Play the track for your dog and you should see an interesting reaction.

  1. Lassie Come Home Trailer (1943)
  2. Snoopy vs. The Red Baron – Royal Guardsmen
  3. Canis lupus – The Aquabats
  4. Slow Dog – Belly
  5. Jesse – Paw
  6. George Carlin, from Carlin on Campus
  7. How Much is that Doggie in the Window – The Baja Marimba Band
  8. The Underdog – Spoon
  9. Do the Dog – The Specials
  10. MItch Fatel
  11. Dog House – The Legendary Hucklebucks
  12. Hound Dog – Big Mama Thornton
  13. Dirty Old Egg-Suckin’ Hound – Johnny Cash
  14. Brian Regan
  15. Dog Years – Rush
  16. Dogs and Chaplains – The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
  17. Cheech & Chong
  18. Fido, Your Leash is too Long – The Magnetic Fields
  19. Move It On Over – Hank Williams
  20. Bad Day – Samiam
  21. George Carlin, from On the Road
  22. Pauly the Dog – Agnostic Front
  23. Old King – Neil Young
  24. 10 Dead Dogs – Wild Sweet Orange
  25. Every Dog Has Its Day – Flogging Molly
  26. Stray – Fetchin Bones
  27. I Wanna Be a Drug-Sniffing Dog – Lard
  28. SPECIAL BONUS TRACK FOR DOGS

NOTE: I have a hardware issue I’m working on but until then the drive crunches a bit and so there are a few glitches here and there throughout the mix, but nothing Earth-shattering. If I wait until I fix the problem it will be months before this mix is released, so just releasing as is. It’s not that bad.

DJ Scott: Most cover songs, like movie remakes, are irrelevant if not outright offensive.  But there are some diamonds among the heaping piles of dung, and this playlist is an attempt to highlight some of the better covers out there. DJ Kevy Pooh made a covers mix recently, so I’m differentiating my mix by playing both the original song and the cover version.

  1. Hurt – Nine Inch Nails
  2. Hurt – Johnny Cash
  3. Such Great Heights – The Postal Service
  4. Such Great Heights – Iron & Wine
  5. One Man Guy – Loudon Wainwright III
  6. One Man Guy – Rufus Wainwright
  7. Easy – The Commodores
  8. Easy – Faith No More

Listener Problems Sought!

I’ll be providing boundless wisdom and brilliant advice in my future Dear DJ mix.  I need you to send me your problems, so that I can address them in words and, more importantly, in song.  I liked the Long Distance Dedications mix so much, that I thought this would be fun.  Your problems can be real, fictional, serious, funny, first-person, third-person, anonymous, whatever.  Just send them over to me at cuppycup@gmail.com and I’ll turn your life around.  Please make your letters similar to the Dear Abby style, but maybe less wordy.  Several examples can be found here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/03/25/LI2005032502583.html
