#0063 – Don’t Dance Near The Chemicals!

Alright. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. I have a few in the works, an alt-country mix, a show about great drumming performances, some others. But they are still unformed. Today I had an epiphany. I just want to rock your faces off, that’s all.

So I put together this mix. There are no clever audio clips and there’s not a lot of bullshit from me either. Just 15 tracks of rock and roll, from classic rock to indie bombast to power pop to punk rock. This is the kind of stuff that makes mice explode.

  1. The Hold Steady – Stevie Nix
  2. Lucero – What Else Would You Have Me Be
  3. The Rolling Stones – Bitch
  4. Led Zeppelin – Good Times Bad Times
  5. Styx – Born For Adventure
  6. Queen – One Vision
  7. AC/DC – Highway To Hell
  8. The Pursuit Of Happiness – I’m An Adult Now
  9. Ted Leo & the Pharmacists – Timorous Me
  10. Superchunk – Seed Toss
  11. Andrew Vincent and the Pirates – Ladies, Ladies, Ladies (Houseboat)
  12. The Replacements – Gary’s Got A Boner
  13. New York Dolls – Personality Crisis
  14. Cloak, Dagger – Bended Knee
  15. Death – Politicians in My Eyes

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.

Tracklist (click a song title to buy the high quality, DRM-free MP3 from Amazon):

  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
  9. You Belong To Me – Jo Stafford
  10. You Belong To Me – Jason Wade
  11. Hallelujah – Leonard Cohen
  12. Hallelujah – Jeff Buckley
  13. Hallelujah – Arooj Aftab
  14. You Can’t Always Get What You Want – The Rolling Stones
  15. You Can’t Always Get What You Want – Rusted Root
