What's On your Mix CD?

Wow that was almost a year old.

Anyway, that song is originally by a folk artist prominent mostly in the late 50s-early 60s by the name of Jimmie Driftwood. It's been covered by several other artists, including Johnny Cash and Doc Watson. The version I was talking about was the Johnny Cash version, and if I remember correctly it was on the Jackie Brown soundtrack.

Ah, I'll check out the Cash version. I didn't know if it was the same song or not.

Gg, I noticed you weren't sure about one singer on your mix tape, and by an amazing stroke of luck, I KNOW WHO IT IS! So I've filled in the name. I'm sure it's been bothering you for years, happy to help! ;P

Just some bands on there....

Bright Eyes
Neutral Milk Hotel
Sun Kill Moon

Bob Schneider does sort of bluesey, laid back tunes with some catchy lyrics. He's downloadable for a taste.

I want to know what you think of Rufus' daddy. I just learned last weekend that he was the guitar player who occasionally turned up in episodes of M*A*S*H*. How cool is that?!

Yeah he was also in Big Fish. Are you familiar with his music? If not check out A Live One for a good overview of some of his best stuff.

On tinymixtape.com someone requested I mixtape that would make people think they were cool. one of the mixtape robots (which I also used to be for a little while) replied by posting a tracklisting with the note: I would think you were cool if you played these songs for me. I decided to make my own mix like that.

1. Waitin' For The Bus - Violent Femmes
2. Whiskey In The Jar - Thin Lizzy
3. A Fond Farewell - Elliott Smith
4. Wait Until Tomarrow - Jimi Hendrix
5. The Way It Should Be (Sha Sha) - Ben Kweller
6. Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon - Urge Overkill
7. Inherited Scars - Sage Francis
8. Hold On - John Lennon
9. Long Black Veil - The Cheiftains featuring Mick Jagger
10. Twilight Zone - Rush
11. Bubblegoose - Wyclef Jean
12. Spanish Bombs - The Clash
13. The Ballad of Alfred Packer - Phil Ochs
14. Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You - Led Zeppelin
15. Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed
16. Long, Long, Long - The Beatles
17. Sweet Black Angel - The Rolling Stones

I checked him out and so far I like him quite a bit. Thanks for the recommendation. He sounds a bit like Jack Johnson who is also well worth checking out if you haven't heard him.

P.S. "Blue Skies For Everyone" sounds kinda like a Tom Waits song (only optimistic) . Nifty.

Just made this one. No theme really.

1. Career Opportunities - The Clash
2. You Can Have It All - Yo La Tengo
3. Boisa-Bis-O-Boisa - Jens Lekman
4. Dog on Wheels - Belle and Sebastian
5. Brass Digger - Starlight Mints
6. Casino Boogie - The Rolling Stones
7. Hyacinth House - The Doors
8. Hang Down Your Head - Tom Waits

10. Gone Daddy Gone - Violent Femmes
11. Scars and Stitches - Guster
12. Elevation - Television
13. First of the Gang to Die - Morrissey
14. Angel (solo version) - Jimi Hendrix

Yo la Tengo is cool, speaking of lesser-known groups.
Glad you checked out Mr Schneider.
