I'm not totally happy with this one yet but you've been waiting oh so patiently (thank you <3) for a response so I'm releasing it now and hoping it's good enough!
Greetings, 2023, and welcome to our first mix. This mix showcases the music of the late Terry Hall in the first half. A unique voice who made such great music, and we touch on a small selection. The second half of the mix features five tracks either remixed, created or produced by Bullion, the purveyor of all things pop, not slop. So to speak, it’s a mix of two halves!
A New Mixtape Monday has arrived! This week I’m sharing 10 songs I’ve been jamming out to this week.
In inspiration of fall & with October being spooky month, I’ve been listening to & picked out a few songs that have a darker vibes 🖤 Hope this week’s mixtape I created for you gives you some inspiration, kickstarts your week off right, introduces you to some new music or maybe rekindles some love for a song you’d forgotten about. Hope you all have a wonderful Monday! 📀
Someone make a futurama weekday for sunday and tuesday cause those are the only days of the week futuramaheads havent touched their greasy metal mitts on yet
For mix tape Monday: a playlist for when you’re in a place you know so well, but you keep thinking about everything and everyone that used to be there and no longer is.
I'm not completely happy with this one because it is simultaneously so specific and so broad, but I'm offering this one so I don't end up sending myself spiraling down a "but it's not perfect" hole. Here's hoping it's good enough!
Where The Streets Have No Name, by U2
Pollen in the Air, by Worriers
Your Ex-Lover Is Dead, by Stars
The Old Apartment, by Barenaked Ladies
Tangled Up In Blue, by Bob Dylan (or your cover of choice (my favorite is Indigo Girls))
Mixtape Monday! Can I ask you to make a battle jacket mix please?
I spent a really long time on this. It was exceedingly difficult to find songs strictly about battle jackets (I only found one!), so I included songs that mention adjacent topics. The Daycare Swindlers are on here because Mark Reiter of DC Swindlers once said: “It’s not about wearing your heart on your sleeve, it’s about making a whole fucking jacket out of it,” which pretty much sums up my entire ethos and is also where I got the title of this mix.
While looking for songs to include, I also remembered this Imogen Binnie quote:
“Her jacket is a work of art. There’s a Kids in the Hall skit where Satan gives a stoner the ability to grow weed out of his head in exchange for his perfect denim jacket: that’s the kind of denim jacket Maria has. Satan would kill for her jacket. Here are its patches: The Bouncing Souls, White Zombie, the word fuck, a little girl holding giant scissors (on plaid), Hello My Name Is DYKE, and, the coup de grace, the whole back is the cover of the first Poison album. It’s not even ironic. Poison rules.” – Imogen Binnie, Nevada
Which in turn led me to this essay (which is about metal battle jackets, whereas I’m more well-versed in punk battle jackets, but it’s still a really good essay).
I also came across this page, where you can peruse photos of some truly excellent battle jackets.
it’s about making a whole fucking jacket out of it
Daycare Swindlers - Big Show (Stomp your steel tip boots some more / Not enough movement on the dance floor)
The Queers - Punk Rock Girls (Leather jackets, stupid boyfriends / Poor report cards, life is just a ball / Hi- top Chucks and bubblegum / And oh my gosh, I'd love to love 'em all / They're so cool their style is never cramped / Too much of everything, and everyone is amped / Well, don't get hot and bothered / Listen, I know I got problems / I also know just what this goofy world needs / Yummy yummy punk rock girls)
Mary Monday & The Bitches - I Gave My Punk Jacket to Rickie
Who Killed Spikey Jacket? - Punks Dress Punk (Don't let them tell you how to dress / Let ME tell you how to dress / Wear studs.)
Mischief Brew - Punx Win! (So, I collect these crumpled, / Beer-stained flyers, / Seven-inches, photographs, / All your old letters that remind me / To look down and back. / Its then I realize our romance / Has its roots in one sub-humans patch.)
Freshen up your Monday with our new mix. This week, a selection of cool hip-hop rubs shoulders with woozy R&B, celestial psychedelic soul, smooth jazz, downtempo electronica, and a bit of languid reggae thrown in for good measure. Happy Monday, folks!
