soundbwoy murdah!

we've thus far neglected to fantasize about creating a collection of muder songs. this is all i got so far:

police on my back - the equals
somebody got murdered - the C****
anything from that one nick cave album
35% of all rap and dancehall songs
&c.

"i'm hungry. wah wah."

This was conceived in the torturous hours before lunch by Julia, Susie J, Dirtbag and Gayle.

Hungry Eyes - Eric Carmen
Feed My Frankenstein - Alice Cooper
Lover, You Should Have Come Over - Jeff Buckley ("broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it")
Beast of Burden - Rolling Stones (Susie J thinks that anyone who walks that far would be hungry for both food and love.)
Hungry Like a Wolf - Duran Duran
Help Me - Oingo Boingo ("I've been thirsty for years /I'm hungry for something . . . /Just the touch of your flesh")
Lullaby - The Cure ("And the spiderman is always hungry...")
Why Can't I Be You - The Cure ("you make me make me make me hungry for you")
Death Cab for Cutie song ???
Shattered - Rolling Stones ("ain't you hungry for success? success, success, success, success....what does it matter?!")

you put them on your feet

There is some song (well, probably multiple ones) that plays on sole/soul, and it is driving me nuts that I can't think of it....damn it all to hell!!!

Sorry, Susie J, but I had to put the Cure song on it. If Robert Smith were dead, he'd be my incorporeal lover (and NOT in the sense of necrophilia, which is NOT incorporeal). BUT I refrained from putting a Smiths song on it. I take this as a step.

the 3-4-05 mix

Here Comes the Rain Again - Eurythmics
Gravity Rides Everything - Modest Mouse ("I want to go back to sleep")
People Ain't No Good - Nick Cave
Friday - J. J. Cale ("Friday, Friday evening, come on Friday I want to go home")

wow gayle, that's a lot of monkey songs. i've never heard a lot of them. anyway, an update: the monkey mix is kicking ass. i've got the drum/piano/guitar break from the kinks timed and edited nicely, with the bassline from a rap song about monkeys (from the Beneath the Surface compilation) layered over it. shouldn't be tough to make the transition from the kinks beat to the new song using the bass part. for the main section of the kinks track i'm going to try laying the intro from the stones song over it. don't know how, or if, it's going to work. but the stones song itself contains some awesome breakdowns. i'm working on extracting the individual drum sounds as much as possible, as well as time compressing and expanding to create some weird echoey effects.... this part sounds AWESOME with the "this one for all the bouncers" part from the specials cut in and out over it. so the first three tracks are the kinks beat (the song itself will appear later), the monkey rap song, and the stones beat (most of the rest of that one will also appear later).

the citrus mix

so after much discussion, it was decided that in order to make the list of songs actually long enough, it either

a. had to be a fruit mix (i'm anti-this option) or
b. had to use citrus words even if referring to color.

so we're going with b.

without further ado...the mix so far...

Tangerine - Zeppelin
Tangerine - Prince
Lemon - U2
Orange Crush with Eyeliner - REM
Wrong Number - the Cure ("lime green, lime green, and tangerine...")
The Lemon Song - Zeppelin
She Don't Use Jelly - Flaming Lips ("...she uses taaaaaannnngerine...")
Lime in the Coconut - Harry Nilsson ("I said DOCTOR...to relieve this belly ache...DOCTOR"...yeah)
