This mix goes to Jessica, who is one of my best friends ever. I can’t possibly give her any music that she doesn’t already have; I think that’s impossible because she already has everything worth listening to.
Anyway, she’s got her own radio show (the indie pop show Pop Molecule, which you should definitely listen to at KZSC.org from 2 to 4 p.m. Pacific Time every Monday…!), though she frequently appeared on her friend’s show, Sad Bastard Music, which I don’t believe currently airing. Anyway, here’s a mix inspired by the kind of music they’d play on the latter show, but with a bit of a “classic” twist (the show primarily played contemporary music).
Track list:
01: The Magnetic Fields - “The Book of Love”
02: Damien Rice - “Creep” (originally by Radiohead)
03: The Beatles - “I’m a Loser”
04: Radiohead - “Unravel” (originally by Björk)
05: Vic Chestnut - “Sad Peter Pan” (originally by Smashing Pumpkins)
06: Nirvana - “All Apologies”
07: Johnny Cash - “Hurt”
08: Pink Floyd - “Pigs On The Wing (Part One)”
09: Depeche Mode - “Waiting For The Night”
10: Joy Division - “New Dawn Fades”
11: The Velvet Underground - “After Hours”
12: The Smiths - “Asleep”
So there you have it, another mixtape. I guess this one turned out to be sort of a semi-covers mix as well, and it even has my favorite cover song ever, which is Radiohead’s version of “Unravel.” It’s hauntingly beautiful. Also, I guess I should come upfront with the fact that Jessica actually gave me a some of these songs, including “The Book of Love” (and the whole 69 Love Songs album).
